I wanted to upgrade my cell phone and had been in the bigger community
25 miles or so away a couple of days ago and looked for phones.
Couldn't upgrade then but decided to today. So I went to our local
Radio Shack about 3 miles away -- the only Verizon dealer in the
area.
Their price for the phone was $279 but there $50 "rebate". The my
"new every two" was only worth $50, not $100. So the cost would be
$179. Back in the "big store" out in the bigger city, the same phone
was $249 with the same $50 rebate and my "new every two" was worth
$100; so I could get the phone for $99.
So much for shopping local.
If the Radio Shack goes out of business because locals don't shop
there, I'm going on the record and saying "it ain't my fault". I
tried.
