Thanks for the help! If anyone is in the LA area, I went to the North Hollywood store and bought a cover for $16.24 (I think that was the price...$17.82 with taxes and all)! There were still about 5-6 left on the clearance shelf after I bought mine.

FYI: Be sure and see the thing with your own eyes first. I checked for the 505 using the aforementioned website and it said it was at a Target in a neighboring city. I called them and asked if they had it (the associate said yes). I then asked simply how much it is. He checked and said $70. I asked him to double check and make sure and he said yes.

So an hour and a half later I'm finally in there, get my hands on the unit, whip out the credit card and to my dismay, the thing rings up at $239!!!! I explain what happened, and all anyone had to say was "I'm sorry, that's how much it is." Even after explaining all the driving I ended up doing, and the conversations, et al, all I got was "sorry".

So anyway, don't even go by what they tell you. Grab the stupid thing, put it to a scanner and see for your own eyes. Apparently the associates can't be trusted over the phone.

Thanks, I think that this is as low as it's going to get.

To all the people who called,
the deal died with 90%+ certainty when you brought it to the employee's attention.

If there were any readers at sub $80 by calling you ensured that you would not be getting one... First rule of clearance: never, never, never ever call.

Believe me, I worked retail and when such newbs called me all it did was alert me to the deals... Then I'd put sometimes every available unit in the stock room with my name on it and buy it with my employee discount.

Don't call.
