The Juggle Zone: Bargain Blog

Last week there was a thread on FW, saying Circuit City had a Merkury brand digital camera starter kit for FAR ($10). I tried ordering online, but they were OOS, then I tried in-store pickup in several local stores, but they, too, all showed OOS. Last night I checked again, and they it was not available for shipment or in-store pickup, the system showed that it was in stock in 1 nearby store. I called them this morning before they opened, and they confirmed that they had 1, but weren't allowed to hold it (or anything). After some discussion, the CSR offered to hold it for me, if I would get there shortly after they opened.

And he did! The kit contained 4 (four) 1800 mAh AA batteries (the primary purpose of getting the kit), a (not-so-good) charger, a camera case, and some cleaning stuff.
