We saw the Nikon S230 Coolpix at the store for $149 in black. My wife wanted the purple / plum one which can only be ordered thru the web site. Guess what? It costs $179 on the web. Maybe the $30 price spread is how BestBuy pays for the free shipping and $3.00 wholeslae case. Anyone else been so schnookered?

Hmm, very odd. Dotcom does not even have the camera in black! However, products are often a different price online. Sometimes it is lower, sometimes higher.

My apologies, I removed my post. That is what I get for posting this late at night.

That's okay, Adam. When I lived on a farm, it was harder to remove posts. We either had to soak them with a gasoline / diesel mix and burn them out, or wrap a chain around one and yank the bugger out. It built more than character, that's for sure.

Possibly one of the best comments ever.

I agree!

Hi RealGomer,

I completely understand your wife wanting her camera in purple/plum, as I too, like my electronics in pink.

It is correct that our BestBuy.com prices can sometimes differ from our in-store prices.  This is because our website operates on an national market whereas, our stores operate on a local market, make sense?

However, we do want to help make sure that your wife get’s the camera that she truly wants, and if there is something additional I can do to help you with this purchase please feel welcome to contact me by private message.  You can send a private message to me by clicking on the “private message” envelope in the upper right-hand corner of the page, and then composing a new message to my username “SARAH-BBY”.

Thank you and have a great weekend!
