Two models, one small, one large :-

DC25

Fry's Electronics, a local retailer on the west coast, is offering a free DC16 Handheld with purchase of DC25 ball.  The price of the ball is listed as $499 BEFORE SAVINGS.  And the Fry's ad resorts to some very old dyson lingo: Never clogs never loses suction.  Whatever it takes to sell.

BEST BUY stores are advertising 20 percent  off ALL NEW DYSONS ONLY.  Dyson MAP (minimum advertised price) is 10 percent so this is 2X lower.  Dyson DC25 Animal with ball technology, regularly $549, on sale for only $439 which is a savings of $110.

Decent sale... NO DC28 or 22 though...

Hi,

Sears is offering no Dyson reductions (or new models) this week from what I see online but from now until May 26th, shipping is free on all purchases over $99.00.

Hello Venson:

Doesn't SEARS have a price match policy that will meet any retail competitors' prices and give another 10 percent off to boot?  Plus free shipping?

Hi Carmine,

I really can't say as I haven't bought anything there for a while. But -- all roads lead to Rome . . . I still have to replace the Bosch dishwasher that's now gathering dust and Sears will probably be the best place to do it because of the budget.

Hi Venson:

I excerpted this information below from the SEARS Web Site for its Price Match Plus Policy/Price Protection Policy.  If I'm reading this correctly, it means that a dyson DC25 Animal [TOL] with ball technology can be bought at SEARS for a net price before sales taxes of $428.  ($439 [BEST BUY stores' price] less 10 percent of the difference [$110 x .1= $11]).

Retail Competitors

If you find a lower price on an identical branded item with the same features (in Home Electronics identical brand and model number) currently available for sale at another local competitor retail store, Sears will match that price plus, give you 10% of the difference. Just bring in the original advertisement to a sales associate at the time of, or within 30 days after, your purchase.

Hi Carmine,

The advantage is that it takes a slight edge of the final price, tax included. By the way, if our dear mayor, Mr. Bloomberg, has his way we may well see our sales tax jump from 8.375% to 8.875%.

I have to wonder what these illustrious politicians like Mayor Bloomberg, and even the members of Parliament are thinking.  Increase sales taxes on one hand then give consumers tax holidays/tax free enterprise zones to spur sales on  the other.  Don't have the guts to vote yourself annual raises, so take the cowardly way and just expense all your daily living costs to the taxpayers.  Dumb and dumber.  What are they thinking?
