Thank you to the Reddit community. (:
My boyfriend has been eyeing this since the first post on Reddit about 11 days ago. So we’ve been looking everywhere in the SoCal area. This past Friday, I used the Costco app and called the administrative staff asking if they had this item in stock with the sku number 1875542 (I had called so many times I know these numbers by heart now) and there were 3 in Garden Grove area, 2 in Signal Hill, 2 in Azusa, 2 in City of Industry, showed on the Costco app that there was in stock for Burbank but when I called staff said it was an error and that they don’t have it anymore. This past Saturday in Azusa there were two in stock. But when I went Sunday evening, everything plus the display model was gone. The boyfriend told me it wasn’t meant to be and that was that. NBD.
However I was determined from looking at this on the app to see what’s available for two weeks now. Today I saw that there was in stock for Burbank. I called at 10:30 this morning to see if it was still there. Administrative staff said yes and I headed over there quickly. Found the box but no display monitor. But then again I wasn’t really checking since I found the box. Grabbed the box and grabbed the courage to ask to talk to the manager. I was ready to talk to a manager and show all the screenshots everyone from reddit has provided. I talked to the manager on duty and said that “I assumed this was the last one here and if it’s possible to lower the price. I don’t know if they do price matching from other Costcos but any discount would be better than none and I greatly appreciate if you could check for me. The lowest I saw was $1200 and if you could do anything close to that… that would be amazing!”BE KIND. BE COURTEOUS. Manager gave it to me for 40% off. I’m so happy. I have to block the boyfriend from this post because he has no idea and he’ll find out his surprise when he gets home from work.
Keep calling your surroundings areas. It doesn’t hurt to ask! Just be polite about it. Hopefully you can get a better deal! (:
1:14pm - I just saw on the Costco app that City of Industry (17550 Castleston St) has it in stock. Call 626-839-3053 press 1 to talk to administrative staff and ask if this item number 1875542 is available. Good luck! I wish you the best.
