that is just not right....it's no wonder the economy is in shambles.

my 2 were purchased @ TAGRET in Hawthorne (120th street), CA (got the last 2). I also found 2 Targets with 505 lights for $32 although I have heard they are already down to 16 at many others.

Sorry, but what I did is not scammy. I bought the unit for full price because I was searching for one and wanted it. Then my friend told me that the other target was clearing them out for $70. I took what I bought to that Target because you can return to any Target. They said they could then sell it back to me at the clearance price. I didn't scam anyone. I just saved money and they didn't care. Target is not a franchise so no one was scammed.

The Targets around the DFW area (TX) didn't seem to have any either. They had lots of lights for $32 though.

I knew this would happen. That's the great thing about Target...they don't hesitate to REALLY clearance items...

Oh, so you had just recently bought it? Then that's just a price adjustment. I thought you had bought it months ago or something.

I did an in person search at 4 Targets in my area... 3 were sold out (one had sold them at low as $20 per the sales person) and the last one had 3 in stock at $237.

After talking to one of the store employees, I learned only they stores that were having a hard time selling them, had the deep discounts. Those who have been selling well, were selling at the higher price. Why they didn't send units from the non-selling stores to the high selling stores is beyond me.

Congrats to all who got in on the great deal!

Probably too much work and not worth it for them. I went to one today but they were sold out They couldn't even get the price on it, but they tried.

Sorry I said you did a scammy thing, because you're right, it's not in your case. I'm so glad you're loving it and you got it for such a good price!

Thanks. I am so glad I bought it as well. I was tempted by the Nook but I am very happy with this Sony, and it is my first E-Book reader.
