Sony ACVQ900AM $49.90 @ Fry’s

rgallard · Mar 30, 2009

I glanced at the Sony Alpha glass case and found 2 of these marked down from $119.90. The store I visited last Friday is located in Fountain Valley, CA. I already own one and highly recommend it. I currently cycle through 4 batteries. Also, i find this AC Adapter/Charger very useful when cleaning my a700 sensor (to safeguard from the mirror “unlocking” with a weak battery).

Good Luck.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just placed my order online.

Talk to their customer service and ask for a price match. They will oblige for the most part.

Fry's is one of those places to just stop in as often as you can. You never know what they will have marked down. A couple of weeks ago one Plano, Tx had the f42am for $250. You really had to be looking for it to see it. Of course there was no advertisement for it and even the price tag in the store did not reflect the regular price so unless you knew the regular price you didn't know it was marked down. I'm still not sure if that was specific to that store or just what was up.

You must have got the last one.
I just tried and it said in store pickup only

A700, Never leave home without it

I must have gotten one of the last ones online.
They are now listed in store only.

Thanks for info.

I think I will get a charge out it. ;-)

Filling in my camera bag, one cheap deal at a time.

Pheanix,

Order another one from Fry's and return the Sony one... Just tell SONY you chanced your mind or that you simply found it cheaper $49.00.

No hassels, no worries...

From the minds of Minolta to the imagination of Sony, Alpha, like no other.

JohnDB · Mar 30, 2009

Thanks for the sales notice! I just placed an order for pick up at the Irving, TX store.

I have saved more $$$ by reading the posts on this forum.

Well, can't order now since it's only store pickup and no Fry's around here. Maybe I can still convince Sony to do a price match.

The 42 has been that price at Fry's since it came out. I know because I have bought two. Or rather I snapped photos of the price tag with my camera phone, then went across the street to Best Buy and had them price match. I like Best Buy more and the Fry's didn't actually have any 42's in stock so it made more sense to me to do it that way.

And I thought I got a good deal on a used one for $225. 25 more and I coulda had a new one.

If you go online to http://www.Buy.com , and simply input Sony F42AM in the search window, you will note that they sell it for $204.99. I ordered one from them several weeks ago, and it arrived a few days later... I am even considering ordering another.... and that is with no tax and free shipping! What a deal!!!

Ordered one for in-store pickup in Indianapolis.

I didn't know you could do that at Fry's - so, learned that today.

Thanks!

willysp · Mar 31, 2009

...when I ordered, it showed in stock in the store. But just got an email saying it's not. So looks like their systems have NOT made it to the 21st century yet!

Oh well, don't really need one, but that was such a nice price!

thehatguy · Mar 31, 2009

--Same thing happened to me.

I ordered it for pickup at the Plano, TX store.

Got a call from the store saying they showed one in
stock, but couldn't locate it.

The guy asked me how I ordered it as it is an old
offer and he was surprised it was on the web site.

Hmmm.

Bummer dude! Same thing happened to me! Well I was a happy camper for a little while anyway.

Wow,
That was really fast shipping for $6.44.
FedEx delivered it today.

Nice accessory, good price.

It pays to check the forums for sales.
