1.) Gather the local towns folk in the town square.

2.) Tell them that you have found a witch at a local shop.

3.) Take the mob and pillage the nearest competitor.

4.) In the melee, snag your Voyager and run like the wind.

...Or...

Bite the bullet and just buy it for what you can get it for.

I have gone shopping at some of the other indirects in my area that carry Verizon, and I have been shopping for a deal on a Pearl. Most of them are jacking up the price on the phone, in some cases $100 higher than the website 2 year promo price. My expectations are already feeling like it is going to be the same way for the Voyager in my area.

Its not that they are "jacking up" the price, its we have to sell it for more then the online price to make a profit on it, we cant compete with the price they are doing it for online.

The Voyager will be a different story, there is a lot more profit in there. So selling it for the advertised price wont be a problem.

I work for a VZW indirect, and we are typically 10-20 bucks above the online price. And we will honor the online price if someone really wants to push the issue.

In reference to jacking up the price, I have been shopping some of the other indirects in my area and I have consistently found that they are increasing/decreasing the price according to their inventories. If they have 5 in stock, I have found them as low as 350 before the data credit. 1 in stock? 425-450 before credit.

This is just my experi...

Wait until the phone is actually released, then shop around for the best deal.
