Re: TI-92 Price
[Prev][Next][Index][Thread]
Best Buy's regular price is $189.99, but it was $179 in your area b/c of
what is called a 'market reaction'... basically, someone else in your area
(Office Depot, OfficeMax, Circuit City, Incredible Universe maybe) has the
item for that price, so BBY's shoppers found it and 'reacted' to (matched)
that price... However BBY only offers that price as long as the competitor
does, and only reacts in the metro area where that price was found.
So *if* OfficeMax in Austin, TX advertised the TI-92 for $179.97 (until
10/20/96), (with our regular price $189.99), BBY stores local to Austin
would 'react' their price to $179.97 until 10/20... but New York stores
would not be affected... their price would be $189.99 (unless OM's ad was
nationwide)
But this discussion is about calculators, not retail policy, so enough with
that...
