For your consideration: Double Checking Your Prices Can Really Pay.

It’s happened again. One of our crew wound up getting something from a retail outlet at a price way below what the store wanted, because the store mis-priced the item.

In this case, we’re talking about Canadian Snow Crab from Jewel. He wound up buying 6 pounds of crab for only 20 bucks! The price was marked at $4.99 a pound, and he just thought something wasn’t quite right. He double checked it with the Jewel seafood market people, and he was right. The price was wrong. They had to give it to him, however. He’s a Money King!

This type of scenario happens so often to one of us that we felt like it was worth a mention to remind everyone to look for items that are mis-tagged or mis-marked. It’s not the sexiest subject in the world, but it can save you a boat load of money in certain instances.

MoneyKing himself actually bought a car from a dealer that had their Internet listed price $6K below the sticker price. Guess what . . . MoneyKing got the $6K off.

Occasionally, a lower level retail employee upon being questioned about a particular mis-tagged price will tell you, “Oh. Sorry about that. That’s really supposed to be $XXXXX.XX.” Uh-uh. That’s when you, the MoneyKing, ask to speak to a manager and get that mis-marked price.

Probably MoneyKing’s favorite price error story has to do with one of his buddy’s buying a composite fiber racquetball racquet for $16.00 when it was really supposed to be $160.00! That rocks.

If you’ve got a story like this, we’d love to hear from you.

Good luck out there.
