This is why we can't have nice things
You could recoup the costs with successful litigation. But if there were anything criminal then law enforcement gets involved, very little cost in that.Doesn't matter. In a business transaction, if one party is being knowingly dishonest to cheat the other party, there are grounds for fraud. There is absolutely a case here, but it's probably not worth pursuing legally due to costs.

I watched a video with screenshots of Wal-Mart receipts for $90 PS4s - using a printout from Amazon for a PM. I was generally shocked Wal-Mart even accepted that in the first place.
I am schocked.
You mean shady things?
Price match still exists, just from vetted retailers.
We should be extremely grateful that price matching managed to stick around period.
I'm surprised they didn't get rid of price matching altogether.
That isn't the argument he is making. The third party was "selling" a product they did not have for the express purpose of forcing walmart to price match. Hence the fraud.
Someone was probably smart enough to get away with it and also smart enough not to brag about it on Twitter.
That would be fraud on their part if a person bought the good from them on Amazon. It wouldn't be fraud for someone to pricematch it at Walmart. Walmart's legal team royally fucked up.

It's a huge thread, but it gets much better as it progresses.
It even made Good Morning America. It had a segment too.
Do they still price match Sears?
Defense Force for fraud? Of course.

Surprised this wasn't their policy before, 3rd party sellers should never be price matched
Unless I missed it, the third party seller never said what their intent was for listing the PS4 at that price. So you're making a pretty big assumption that it was intended specifically to target Walmart.
Can some one lol no me that thread? That was a pretty funny moment.that had nothing to do with price matching........................... it was THEIR pricing.
I know I should feel bad for saying it, but I regret not taking advantage of the 3DS/WiiU/PS4 deals. Could have had all 3 for the price of one.
They intended to sell $99 PS4s?
And? How is that proof that they intended to specifically defraud Walmart?
Unless they intended to actually sell units at that price, it's pretty clear they were trying to defraud through price matching
Is walmart.com one of the major retailers that they price match now? Amazes me that this company doesn't pricematch their own damn online store.

Started to as of about two weeks ago, IIRC.
The plus side is now they finally price match their own fucking website! Unbelievable they only now will be doing that!

The WiiU was Sears fucking uplol
was the $60 Wii U legit ? Or was that Sears ?
Can't remember.

Didn't Gaffers actually post pics of their new WiiUs ?
Man that sucks for them ,but obviously such massive price drops are never real.
As far as I know, I think that was a pricing error. The Amazon listing was actually fraudulent.lol

but my $3 kayak...
I'm surprised they didn't already have a policy like this in place, when I worked retail (albeit not at Walmart) we were aware of the major retailers we could price match, everything else was either denied or had to go through a manager for approval. At no point would a third party seller on Amazon EVER be allowed to be pricematched.
How does that little phrase go? "Two wrongs don't make a right"?Should've been the policy to begin with. I wish I could've gotten a cheap PS4. I'd only take advantage of something like Wal-Mart, the bastards.
And? How is that proof that they intended to specifically defraud Walmart?
