Also price matching is at the time of purchase or very shortly thereafter. Are you telling me you call up a store months later, after the TV has been in use, and demand price matching if it goes on sale?

I don't buy and resell. I buy what I like then if something else come along I will go and get that. Knowing I am this way I always search for the best deal. Going back and forth to different dealers getting them to beat eachother price till I get to a pint where they won't go any further. By doing this I minimize the loss when I go for the next car. So I take Into account depreciation when I'm making my deals. Yes I do loose money sometimes. Not a ton. It all depends on how bad the dealer wants to sell the car. This current z I bought I spent a month going back and forth to may dealerships to get the deal I wanted. I was pleased with my buy. Now I'm not because they changed the factors.
As for the tv thing. Certain stores will price match up to a year after purchase. I don't wanna talk about tv's I was just responding to a comment made by someone else.
Yes I watch every dollar I spend. And yes I go nuts looking over my purchases. I flip houses as a side business and you have to watch every penny and make up every cent you can wherever you can. I'm not rich and spending large amounts of money on things isn't something I just do for fun. Like most of us I have to finance my cars. So I have to get the best deal possible. I wouldn't care about the price change if they did changes to the car. The fact is they changes nothing they just made it cheaper which now screwed us who just bought.
