Sales Floor Let's meet in the Middle; an Electronics/Tech thread

I wonder if we'll have to RFID it.

Given the price points, I don't seem them spending the money to RFID tag them.

 

[Mikuhl]

Is anyone's iTouch Air 4 watches coming with a UPC sticker for the Air 3? They are $49 and when I peel back the UPC sticker it says the MSRP is $96. 👀

We rfid $4 tees.

I saw some apple phone cases too.

For stores that have ATT vendors since they only ship phones, what is MarketSource doing with left over inventory, if they are not allowed to do ATT postpaid anymore?

Are we allowed to sell the phones they have? As far as I know they are flex locked to the first sim card you put inside it, but many people would probably buy them anyway.

 

[Mikuhl]

We have been having a ton of high value electronics come straight off the truck as salvage, I wonder how much money target is wasting due to this.

 

[SuperTarget]

eh we barely make money off tech anyway.. margins are low

That makes it even worse though! The fact that Target buys this expensive products and we send it straight to recycling.

epson 4833 for 129.99. It can do it all. Epson 2950 79.99 is just good too.

 

[Captain Orca]

Does Target carry them? We have two within a few miles radius. Thnx HLM for the info. We're not high volume printers at home, industrial grade not necessary.

Yes. They do.

Looking for color or black and white? Most day to day printing is black and white and best handled by a laser, which as far as I can tell, Target doesn't carry in store. Brother makes some good ones. The HL-L2305W is a mainstay. They even have some multifunction that slide in just under $200. For color, Epson is definitely a good choice. Avoid HP.

I love how Boost Mobile spent all that time getting their activation systems into the register, and then changed their sim cards so they aren't recognized anymore in the system. 😭

 

[Mikuhl]

The deal worthy stuff seem like a pretty good value, except anything that is lightning. 🤪
The plastic seems pretty heavy duty, only time will tell how well they hold up however.

The screen protectors seem to come with the super "high tech" application tool, the ones where you pull a tab and it applies it for you.

Im scared that we will basically sell out of them and never get them back in. 😔

I haven't seen the prices yet, is it cheaper than Heyday? Because that brand is a little overpriced for what it is. It's not crazy expensive, but you can get a lot better quality for a lot less on Amazon compared to Heyday.

The most expensive product is $10.99 if I recall. Everything else is basically $5.99, $7.99 or $9.99.

Not too bad. All we have from dealworthy at our store are cotton swabs and cotton balls.

Temporary work around is to scan the old SIM card shelf label before scanning new SIM card ICCID. Remember to audit the counts afterwards though.

I found that full song

 

[Mikuhl]

These OtterBox sale signs are going to be the death of me. I'm considering taking them down.

 

[dannyy315]

I got the new dealworthy case for my iPhone in black, and I must say, not bad for 6 bucks. It's very thin, but the lip on the edge is raised enough to make me comfortable that this will protect the front glass from falls.

Edit: No MagSafe. That's a dealbreaker. But it came out to like $5, I'm not returning it lol.

Does anyone else have this Lumen Guest wifi at the front of your store? Its insanely fast compared to the Target Wifi. I am wondering who I am giving all my data to? 🤪

 

[Mikuhl]

"I found the TV for $3 on Amazon, can you price match it?"

The TV in question:

Late reply, but...didn't Marketsource get rid of their ATT phones a while ago? I was under the impression that Target Mobile stopped doing ATT in store sales 3 years ago?
