Future Shop Discounts?? hopefully this is the right section to post. i just bought something at FS and the guy at the department i was looking at said the item was at cost and he cant go any lower on price, however when took that item to the check out and i asked another employee, he gave me a $12 discount off the price of $100. and the strange thing was i just asked the checkout guy for a discount and he just typed a random number into the computer and asked me if this was good enough :haha: so yea im confused about how these discounts work, if u just ask and ask till they give u one or what |
yep pretty much, they'll do anything for a sale same applies for most retail places |
haah what?? |
yea but im curious how much discount i can get |
I got this coupon from BB and you save $10 off on any purchase over $50. Too bad I have no use for it. Hopefully I will need to buy something before it expires on at the end of the month haha |
When they say, they can't go any lower...thats a lie. computer shows the cost price and the regular price. They can keep giving you a discount to a certain point, but they make less commission. |
I think it depends on the item's margin and they will look it up on the computer. I don't think there's much discount on computers but on stuff like Monster Cables you may get a lot off. I got a dishwasher down from 600 to 470. |
i thought FS and BB no longer operate on a commission basis so they say theres no sales pressure or something |
Future Shop is commision. BB is not commission. This is what I read at Red Flag Deals.com I find things are cheaper at Future Shop for the same item when I look online. |
funny cause they owned by same company lol |
WTF? They give discounts to customers. |

^ I know that. I'm just surprised they would give discounts. That's all....Should be against employee code but whatever. |
Bestbuy is the worst |
Future shop does offer discounts ... sometimes I would know, I work there As stated above it all depends on cost. Some items such as ... Gaming systems, computers, and Apple Products (ipods, mac's etc...) to name a few have very little in terms of mark up thus no room for a discount. Usually, people buying a single item will not get a better deal, for the most part ... the more you buy the better possible "deal" you can get |
so your tell us that if we go in and keep bargaining, we eventually get a discount ? haha wow i never knew you can do that. Always thought you had to pay the full price at these places |
i once got a 300 dollar discount at bestbuy off a 700 dollar item =D |
the only time i buy from bestbuy/futureshop is when i pricematch. they love it so much..i always get their glares :thumbsup: |

I havent been to work in a week, I guess i'll check it out tomorrow :D I'm assuming the cost drop might have been an error ? , its happen's sometimes. If you look back, when Futureshop has "customer appreciation sales" Ipods are always left off the usual 10% discount given They do make a profit, but as most electronic sales go profit is not made off of hardware |
