Although $199 is a very good price, I've seen them on line for as low as $208.
Several places offer them for $214. Of course there is shipping, but often no
sales tax.
With Target you have to keep checking back. I could see them putting it on sale
for $199, even if the regular price is $250.
For anybody not familiar with Target stores, It's kind of hard to explain.
Picture a Wal Mart that has wider isles, is clean and uncluttered, has a nicer
decor etc. They sell products that are (in addition to many of the items that
Wal Mart sells) stuff you just don't seem to see in other stores.
I saw I-jam units there a year ago. Wal Mart just got them. The accessories
that they sell, say wall clocks, are different than Wal Mart and give the
appearance of being better quality, but are priced reasonably. However, they
just look like better quality. They are actually often good looking crap.
I bought a very modern, very classy looking full size wall clock for my office.
The thing runs fast. This is the first time that I have ever bought a battery
operated wall clock that didn't keep near perfect time.
But their name brand items are the same as anywhere else. They don't carry
seconds.
Their prices are all over the place. On some items they are higher than Wal
Mart and on others they can be considerably less for the same exact product.
They seem to carry only a fraction of the stock that Wal Mart has, but as I said
before, a lot of it is stuff that you just don't see in other places.
Just for FYI.
