$99.99 Pre at Best Buy

triggarhappy · 07-26-2009, 10:21 AM

If you are looking to get one now is the time to get one. If you purchased a Pre from Best Buy with in 30 days go get your $100 dollars back from them.

Price is $99.99 for new, upgrade and family share lines.

Is that in-store only? I am looking at my add and its not in there. I am right down the road from you so I can't imagine it would be any different.

Yea I noticed website still says $199 so I called and she told me they did in fact lower the price. Looks like today might just be my lucky day as I was going to try and buy one if I got off work in time and now they lowered the price! However with my luck they will obv sell out before I get off work.

I just did my signs today and noticed that the Pre came out as 99.99. Must have been a competitor reaction.

I will check it out.

I've heard people complain CA charges sales tax on the pre-discount price and best buy has the list price abnormally high for some reason. With the lowered price it'll make the tax stick out like a sore thumb even more, probably around $70 in tax on a $99 phone.

Nice! I already got mine, but my wife was on the fence about getting one. Her contract is up. $100, it's a no-brainer.

verleysixfour · 07-26-2009, 12:23 PM

I just called my nearest BB in North McAllen and they confirmed the $99 price. Guess I will be trading in my Mogul today instead of waiting a little longer.

I talked to some Sprint Employees, they say the Instinct sold better compared to the Palm Pre in it's current state...

The Palm Pre should be selling like hot cakes. I own one... I'm about to be on my fourth though.

Wonder if thats actually true or not. I did buy the Instinct on launch but I returned it and ended up with Palm Treo but thinking I be upgrading today. I would imagine if this is in fact a price reduction and not a sale or a plow to move some of BB inventory over other competitors idk then it would increase sales quite a bit.

Best Buy Here I come for the Pre....... It is really true you can get the Palm Pre for $99 at Best Buy I just confirmed it right here in Florida.

So if you already have sprint and renew contract you get it for $100 ? Im so sick of my instinct. Now video recording, visual voicemail, small keyboard, and no all the issues people have been having, im not gonna settle. Just gonna wait for the tp2 !!!

The 1st and last sentences made sense, but like you're thinking out loud.

Everything in between? Not so much sense.

Can I return my pre to the sprint store (within 30 days) and go get one from bestbuy?

donjay56 · 07-26-2009, 03:59 PM

I just purchased one on Friday from BestBuy. I saw the news about this, and was able to get my 100 difference today.
