Canon S3 IS $249 at Dell?

[mithrandir2001]

It's a shame that this may be a typo error but the Dell newspaper insert page 3 (for today) has the Canon S3 IS for $249! SKU: A0620511. My heart sank when I saw the price (since there is 10% off $200 there now too) but unfortunately, no dice when you go to the site.

Any way to hold Dell to their word?

if it was $249 I would be grabbing 2

Having paid $399-12% at BB for this camera, I'd say I'd be grabbing another one if it was $249.

Came up to $359.10 when I added to cart b/c they have a 10% off accessories under $400 right now. If you add anyhting else to make it over $400 its 15% off

Well, they won't do the price through chat. You have to call and get it

Considering I'm saving around $150, I think I can wait a month or two.

Same here. Had no problem going through. They did ask where I saw the flyer.

Now I just hope there is not a cancellation.

I just called my local Best Buy to see if they would price match and they said they would and asked what it was listed for. I told them the price and the guy started laughing. He said the cheapest they could let it go would be 336.00 because that is the price they have to pay.

I called Office Max and they said they would price match. They didn't ask the price so I plan on going there in person and showing this ad. Hopefully they let it go for this advertised price. Otherwise I may return to Best Buy, but I have had Dell cancel way too many of my orders so I won't give them any of my business.

Just placed an order over the phone...total cost shipped to CA is $270 and will be there by Jan 10,07.. This deal is on for a week as I asked the sales rep. I may order a 2nd camera tomorrow.

 

[SuperPaws]

I decided to give Best Buy a shot in person. I just got home. They did reluctantly do a pricematch. I got this camera for 249.99 bucks. I also got a 15 minute fast charger with 4 batteries and a car charger for another 29.99 and a 2GB memory card for 47.99 with a 10.00 rebate. Total OTD was 351.75
