RE: Best Buy pricing

RE: Best Buy pricing
"While most retailers do not have formal policies regarding negotiating ticket prices, you would be shocked to know how many retailers want to negotiate," says Herb Cohen, author of the book You Can Negotiate Anything. "Retail prices are an artificial, arbitrary number. Ticket prices are not ordained by some almighty being. They are created by humans. Anything that results from a negotiation is negotiable."

Palm's stealth marketing is interesting
Silence all around.
Maybe they can create buzz by getting people to talk about the lack of marketing!
At least their advertising isn't costing a lot!

Sadly, the sales person said these were her first Palm phones sold this week (it's Wednesday afternoon).

Best Buy pricing
BB usually has HIGHER pricing for 1year contracts & full unsubsidized pricing than do VZW corporate stores. And in the past, such as with the Pre, they've either refused to sell the device without contract or priced it higher than usual.
If I am blown away by the Pre Plus, I would still consider getting one and dumping my Droid.
