"LIST PRICE" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our suppliers. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Because we sell our merchandise over the internet on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "YOU SAVE" reflects the difference between our price and the supplier provided list price shown on our sites. Because the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount and may want to make an exact comparison for yourself by checking the prices of other internet or local retailers prior to making a purchase.
Hmm, seems I found their loophole. It cuts the disclaimer off at "Because the list price may be different than the actual retails prices in your area, you may..."
Wouldn't be surprised it whoever has ordered this gets another bill for the whole amount. The $99 is most likely a pre-order hold.

OK, as a first post I will try to explain this........
What they are saying is that their price is compared to the price the manufacturer would like it to sell at. "Our price vs. MSRP". Fortunately the MSRP is often much higher that the price you will find at local stores or other online retailers. That is why you might not get the savings they advertise, you might be able to find it at another online store for $10 more and therefore be only saving that $10. The price they advertise is the actual price you pay, I have bought other items from them that had a similar savings and have never had a reserving fee such as you are thinking of. |
Good to know. As I said before, it's all in the interpretation. Seeing as I was a tad skeptical with the deal, I read it a bit differently. Glad to see someone who has buying experience with buy.com posting. Welcome to the board. 8)
Now the question of the day, does anyone know why these players are going so cheap? Seriously, newer incoming models aside, it's a helluva deal. Yes, I'm still skeptical...it's my nature.
Also, does anyone here own a Zune that can give us a review?
