Excellent Price found for iPod Touch

CrockettGTO · Nov 13, 2007, 08:24 PM

Hey everyone. Just wanted to pass this on. I saw the iPod Touch for sale at a Sam's Club here in Austin Texas this weekend 334.25 for the 16GB version. Not sure if it is the same at all Sam's Clubs or not but wouldn't hurt to check. The 8GB model was still 297.50 though.

Thanks for the tip. I'm in the market for one and will be at Sam's tomorrow AM when they open. I'm betting yours was an error, but thanks for the tip. I hope you're right!

I believe you, I just wonder if it was mis-marked... I'll know later. That would be a great price even with sales tax of 8.25 percent. Still cheaper than Amazon (free shipping, no tax). And, it will give me somewhere to take it back to if it has initial issues.

Yeah, careful you don't buy the 'iPod Touche'.

(BTW, you do know that all iPods are made in China right?)

I know, obviously the "Made In China" sticker doesn't lie.

My local Sams had the 8 gb for 284 and the 16 gb for 380 something. The confusing thing is they had the 160 gb hard drive ipod wedged in the middle at that 334 price.

For 17 bucks more than amazon (tax issues), I can have the ability to instantly drive it back to Sams for a replacement if there's an issue.

Hmm, I'm wondering if it wasn't the same thing here in Austin and I just didn't look close enough to notice.

My wife works at Walmart and we get a 10% discount on all purchases and she also gets a voucher for an additional 10% off one item in December. I am going to probably get the 16 gb model. $318.00 plus tax.

So if you know someone at WM, that is definitely one way to go.

Strange, none of the three WalMarts nearby me carry iPod Touches, and they said they probably won't ever. They are all large WalMarts, too. I see they carry them on their website, but I've never seen them in the store.
