Successful advertising. Kind of.

You suppose Walmart wants disappointed/unhappy shoppers? What would that benefit? :confused:

Perhaps WM paid for GMA to mention the ipads, but I'd bet they wouldn't want GMA to screw it up like that.

I don't know about the troll-ness of the post, but it really did happen. ABC had to post a retraction on their website: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/busines...what-can-you-still-get-done-before-christmas/

Down towards the bottom: Correction: “Good Morning America” would like to apologize for reporting the wrong price for an iPad Air 128GB at Walmart. The correct price is $799. The iPad Air 16GB is priced at $499. We regret any inconvenience this has caused.
 
Hm, I'm definitely not a troll. Why would I care if anyone shops at walmart:rolleyes:? I came here with a question just like many others. And I did state that I thought this had to be a mistake- which we now see it is. Not that all things I see that are reported on TV are legit, but when reporting about last minute sales I thought just perhaps someone else saw the deal as well.
No big deal, just move on. Nothing to see here:cool:

I was mistaken in referring to this as a troll post. My apologies and I repent in dust and ashes!
 
Toys R Us is selling the new ipad Air for $450 for the 16 gig model. Best Buy price matched it for me at that price earlier this week.

After seek this advertisement (which is what it was, a paid segment) I went to Walmart and was turned away. Fact that GMA may have made an error is immaterial to me. That's between Walmart and ABC. I expect the price to be honored and called Customer Support from the store to make sure it was on record that I had shown up and intended to make the purchase. If this were not a paid spot, I'd be more sympathetic - but make no mistake it was.

I intend to get the advertised price. Customer support is supposed to call me back within 3 business days.

This is all sarcasm, right? :confused:
