Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
Yes, I expect businesses to be responsible enough to inform local stores when they've been overcharging consumers and a rebate policy is supposed to be in effect. That expectation is probably pretty hopeless, though, if most consumers don't care about being ripped off...
$3 isn't much money...but sometimes the principle of the issue is worth something too. Anyway, the 18-year old car we took gets 30+ mpg, and the store's only a couple miles away anyway -- the gas probably about 75 cents. Further, my wife was interested in a movie that was on sale, and I saw this as a way to save an additional $3 on it. (Of course, when their customer service failed to provide my money, we didn't reward them by making a purchase).
If I had just gone there to *spend* $15 though, would you question the profitability of that action? Is driving someplace to collect money somehow stupider than driving someplace to spend money?
Also, with gas being more expensive, shouldn't that be additional motivation to collect all the money that's rightfully mine? If I can spend 75 cents in gas to get $3.30 from Best Buy, they're giving me the money to travel 20 miles.
(I'll also note that I'm a frugally-living graduate student...$3 easily covers a day's worth of food for me, and as a student, my time isn't really worth much.)
