Garmin Pricing In Stores

| Here's the deal. I bought my Nuvi 350 at BestBuy for $599. I thought I
was paying $549, so I started to head back to BestBuy to check on the price.
Before I left, I checked Target's website, and they advertised for $499, so
I stopped into the Target down the road from BestBuy and looked, and sure
enough, they had them for $499. I go back to BestBuy, told them about the
pricing, they called up Target on the telephone, and Target verified the
price, so BestBuy gave me their price, plus 10%, $489.
Yesterday, I went into the same Target store, they have the Nuvi 350
marked $799 now! WTF?
Retail stores are very confusing 8^)
BTW, I would've bought mine online, but I needed it for a trip to Denver for
my job. It was worth every cent, I might add.

Must be one helluva markup on those units. I have found prices like that
before and it is either a large markup or a lost leader or both.

Thanks, I happen to know the meaning of "WTF" (and few others), but I
wonder WTF is wrong with the original poster <bg>
