F505V at sears?

James46180 · Jun 11, 2001

Does anybody here know the stock number for the DSC-F505V at sears?

It's funny because the model display and description at Sears is for the DSC-F505v, but the sears stock number (49160) on the card label will pull up a F505 on the screen and will show discontinued on the register and therefore unorderdable!!

I don't know if sears hasn't updated their stock number or if the 505V is really being discontinued. Has anyone here gotten their 505V from Sears?

With their web matching policy, I can get away with one for $650, assuming someone at the store figures out what the stock number is.

Thanks!

I called my local Sears (Illinois) and they said they would be getting them in but didn't know when.

thanks for calling. It's weird though, cos down here in KNoxville, TN the display model they had was a 505V and even the label and description said 505V but the stock number attached to it was for the old 505. Did you happen to ask them if they knew what stock number it was going to be?

Thanks!

I sure didn't, but I was talking to the Sears in Springfield IL if you want to give them a buzz.

James,

I checked my 505v box and it had the 49160 stock number plastered to the side. You may want to try another sears. I could not find a Sears in my area that kept it in stock but I was able to order it without a problem and I received it three days after I ordered it.

Mandy,

Are you saying you ordered a 505V from Sears? Through a local store or Sears.com? Here in FL, I've tried four different Sears stores, and all of them told me they've discontinued the 505V (two of the stores had the floor model left, which they were trying to sell). Their reason for discontinuing it was "that's last year's model, we're waiting for the new model to come in" (which of course hasn't been announced yet). I also don't see the 505V for sale on Sears website.

see that's the confusing part. Two weeks ago, it was on the website. Stock # 49160 which is the same stock # seen by Mandy on the side of her camera box (505V). Now, here's where it is cooky. The sears website had the model down as DSC-505. No V anywhere. But the specs and description were for the 505V. It's no surprise that Seras says it is discontinued as the 505v replaced the 505 but for some odd reason, Sears still uses the same stock number for the 505V (but since it is in their system as a 505, the system thinks it is discontinued and will not let us order it)

I'm tyring to contact corporate and see what the real deal is behind all this. I'm thinking there is an error in their purchasing dept. There should be another stock number for the 505V.

anymore more input on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

I live in Nashville - Call the store at Rivergate Mall. They have the F505V and a helpful staff. Saw it yesterday.

Bruce,

I ordered it through my local sears store in Maryland. I first ordered one last November at which time I bought the replacement plan. Last month, I scratched the LCD pretty bad and took it back for an exchange. The box I have now with the 49160 number was delivered on May 2nd. At that time the sales person said there was no problem getting the camera delivered.
