Just got back from touring some stores. Saw the display at one CVS and confirmed prices at 2 others. Here's a list from what I can remember.

7" Tablet Price update $9.99, thanks zirjacks http://slickdeals.net/forums/show...stcount=99
7" LCD DVD Player $19 down from $79.99
13" HDTV $19 down from $79.99
Home Theater with 2.1 speakers, subwoofer and dvd player $19 down from $79.99
Upconverting DVD player for $13.

I only got the 7" Tablets for $25 + $3 recycling fee. The signs said that the 7" LCD DVD and the 13" HDTV had $16 recycling fees but I don't understand why the 7" LCD DVD would have a bigger one than the 7" Tablet since they have the same size screen.

Here's a review of the tablet. It has HDMI. It works as a USB host. You can plug keyboards, drives, etc into it.

Too bad it's Craig's brand, otherwise this would probably be a hot deal. Their stuff simply sucks. Period. Thanks for the info though.

Here's a review of the tablet. Doesn't seem bad for $25. Yes, it has HDMI. My box looks completely different but I just verified the model number is the same.

The last time I checked out at CVS, the cashier said if I updated my rewards email I would get 20% off my next order. I passed but when I got home I thought I was an idiot for passing. So I checked CVS online and it indeed say that if I update my rewards email I would get a 20% off coupon. I was an idiot and didn't do it. So when I bought the tablets tonight, the mgr turned the register screen around and showed me where it said if I updated my email that I would get a 20% off coupon for next time. So I did. You might have to log into your rewards account.

This. I just got mine in email. It excludes clearance. I was hoping to use it on the 13" HDTVs tomorrow.

It looks like it's for signing up for their email spam.

Don't forget to update your email address online and get a 20% off coupon.

Do they keep the tablets and the TV's behind the counter? So you'd have to ask someone to see it?
Gonna swing by a couple when they open and see what I can score for the little brother...

cheepdood 01-08-2013 11:16 PM

Updated my email earlier today and got the 20% coupon. Email with 20% off instructed me to scan my rewards card at the kiosk in the store in order to get the coupon. Coupon is 20% off purchase brick and mortar for non-sale items so not sure if that would work on these discounted electronics. I think this will be YMMV depending on the manager on duty? :confused:

aanairai 01-08-2013 11:21 PM

Hoping to get a price adjustment from $50 sale price. Will update tomorrow afternoon. Thanks OP!

Depends on the store. At the first store I was at, they were all just siting there on shelves with the shelf tags. That's where I took the photo. In the other two stores it was a "mess", the words of the mgr. In those stores, the home theatre system was stacked in front of photo and everything else was just in a pile on the counter. If you don't see them, ask for them. They can check inventory. If it's in inventory and you can't see it, then it might be in lock up somewhere.

Ah ok, thanks! Do you know anything about those speakers? Not looking for something to blow me away, just something better than the speakers on my Sammy plasma TV with an optical out..

Dude, a lot depends on the mgr. At one store, a worker found one for me up at the photo counter. I knew they had 5 so I asked if I could get the others. She looked and looked and couldn't find them. She said she would go ask the mgr to see if they are in lock up. I could hear the conversation. He basically said there's no way they sell for $25. He comes up to the counter and tells me that they don't sell for $25. It's a glitch. The girl working the register said it scans at $25. He then grabbed a Polaroid, scanned that and said it's $100. I said it's a different product. He said that the Polaroid is the substitute for the Craig and that the tablets never go on clearance. He would call corporate in the morning and then call me if it's not a glitch. I said OK but do you have the other 4. He looked and looked and looked and couldn't find them. Finally he called the photo mgr and she told him where they were. He also asked her if the 75% off clearance was legit and she said yes. He then sold them to me for $25 but took out a pen and wrote "no returns" on the receipt. It all worked out in the end.

Not a thing. The DVD that comes with it is useless though. It only has composite and s-video output. Seriously, look at the picture I posted. It says so on the box. Those things must have been made like 10 years ago.

To me the $19 13" HDTV is interesting. If I didn't have a recycle fee it would be a no brainer. The thing is the sign says the fee is $16 which basically doubles the price. I'm not sure that's right though. There is no $16 fee. The fee for a 13" TV should be $8. But the CVS registers are all messed up. They only charged a $3 fee for the 7" tablet. It should have been $6.

infin8007 01-08-2013 11:37 PM

sweet. arent' they opened 24 hours? maybe i shoudl go now. while the rest of the sders in my area are asleep lol

Wow what a hassle! Glad it worked out in the end. They pretty much have to honor what the register rings up according to their training manuals, no such thing as a glitch ;) You are one lucky dude! What are you going to do with 4 tablets though?

It's likely part of their Christmas clearance mark downs, not all stores are at 75%. Store here is 75% but most aren't, however no sign of any of these things.

No luck here in Nassau County (NY). Figured I might be able to snag some but Mineola, NY was out of stock. Albertson/Roslyn, NY it rang up 49.99. Went to Bethpage and the kid told me the last guy had picked it up a few hours earlier for $24.99. Damn.

None in the Stony Brook, Long Island (NY) area. They did have a older version of the craig tablet with 800MHz processor and 256mb RAM. Same price of $25 but definitely not worth getting.

From one of the reviews:

Picked one of these up at Rite Aid today and bleh, it's horrible. Wasn't expecting a whole lot but with a gig of RAM I figured it would run relatively smoothly. The screen is not very responsive and after downloading Angry Birds and Slacker from the Amazon App Store, AB is choppy and jerky and Slacker won't run. I

Just got back from CVS in Monroe NY. The manager was standing at the front counter when I walked in. I asked him if he had any of the Craig tablets and I heard they were on sale for $25. He told me that I heard correctly and he had one in his office. He went in the back and got it, sure enough it rang up for $25. He said "gotta love after christmas sales" Same model with 1.3Ghz processor. I forgot to ask if he had any more, but you an probably call if you live in this area. I am going to root it later and see how it works. Even if it sucks I can use it as a digital photo frame or just leave it lying around to control the music in my house. Thanks OP, good deal!

Where in NJ did you go? I've got a CVS down the street from my work in woodbridge, may go check it out at lunch ;)

68droptop 01-09-2013 06:40 AM

just tried a bunch of stores in Northeast Ohio and there is none of the tablets left.
I did manage to get one of the DVD player TVs.

crutoi 01-09-2013 06:59 AM

Confirmed in north Jersey. Got two tablet and two portable DVD players. With tax under hundred bucks.

Thanks op

They had about ten more tablets if any one wants. 07039 on rt10 and Eisenhower

geniv 01-09-2013 07:11 AM

the tablet for $25 looks like an wesome deal. crappy specs but it's hell of a dell for $25. great for young kids to play with.

would have been awesome if it has a gps chip in it. would make a great low cost standalone gps with the new TomTom software or some other offline gps software

I went to the CVS stores in Old Bridge and in Marlboro and the prices were the same - full price.

whowhatwhere 01-09-2013 07:26 AM

They did this last year as well. I got a portable DVD player for 19.99 and have been pleased with it.

burticus 01-09-2013 07:27 AM

I'd possibly be interested in the tiny tv to stick in the guest room to shut the kids up when they visit. But my local CVS is run by.... special people. I really don't like to go in there. It can take 30 minutes to buy a pack of gum.

I picked up a red Vivitar Camcorder (Model 503) for $8 last night. They were regularly $39.99. I have no idea what the quality is like but for 8 bucks it will make a decent gift for a kid this year.

Found three TVs at the photo kiosk but they rang up full price.

All out in the stores by me...supposedly 1 tablet left at the Winton Rd CVS for anyone in Rochester, NY.... not positive they have it and don't know the price.

robuss76 01-09-2013 08:49 AM

TV rang up 75...couldnt find anything else on the list. But did find a homedics neck and shoulder massager with heat for 6.xx orig. 25...located in Pa.

You can go to one CVS and ask them to check stock at all the other CVS's. That's how I knew one store had 5. The mgr even gave me a printout listing all the stores with stock ala Target. The thing they can't check is price for some reason.

He then sold them to me for $25 but took out a pen and wrote "no returns" on the receipt. It all worked out in the end.

Is there an inventory checker? How did you know they had 5?

I just checked at the 2 cvs stores by foster/nagle//higgins in Chicago. Dvd player was $50 and the hdtv was $149

TrystinJ 01-09-2013 09:08 AM

Tablets cleared out in this area (Madison/Huntsville, AL). She said she just had a lady call and ask for them and she did a search and they were all out around here.

Created a entry in the WiKi for locations with tablets out

pug_ster 01-09-2013 09:21 AM

You should say ymmv. It is still 50% in NYC. Thumbs down.

I just got one. It was neat for a kid but it would only connect to my wifi within 10 feet. I took it back. The gave my money back but didn't want to due to clearance so beware.

Kg0z 01-09-2013 09:56 AM

For those of you who had the TV ring up at full price. You might want to try to have the cashier scan your CVS card first, then the TV. It should reflect a CVS discount then.

Well... actually... even the mgr that scribbled "no returns" on my receipt said unless it doesn't work.

rocko76 01-09-2013 10:12 AM

Plenty of everything at the 75% off at the Paoli, PA store. Only thing on the list I didn't check was the HDTV, normal price was $149.99 vs. the $79.99 listed in the OP. Got the tablet and the portable DVD player.

Briefly played with the tablet in the parking lot... seemed responsive enough, but the display sucked - awful brightness even when cranked all the way up and viewing angles horrible. Also uses a proprietary charger, good luck replacing if lost... For $100 would be a rip, for $25, though, I could see it as a viable toy.

Also got a cake pop maker for $5 as a gag gift for the wife. ;)

EDIT: It looks like the model tablet I got was different - CMP741D. As far as I can tell by specs on the box as well as a quick online search, it's identical to the CMP741E, except for the lack of hardware home button and offset camera.

its decent, i got one the year prior on clearance. not great, not bad, worth the $8 though.

HDTiVoFan 01-09-2013 10:25 AM

My receipt says "Returns accepted with receipt until 3/10/13". There is nothing on the receipt that prohibits returns of this merchandise. The clerk didn't make any mention of this, but the wording on the receipt should override any verbal statement.

Nothing at the nearby store. Everything sold out during christmas sale. She said I was the third person who came looking for the tablet.

found a craig portable cassette player...marked 10.99 rang up 21 :(

beaulieu 01-09-2013 12:03 PM

just got back from the 3 local stores in the Los Angeles area

TVs still come up at $149

but I did get a couple of the red Vivatar camcorders for about $8 each and a 7 inch DVD player for $20

no tablets at any of those stores.....

OHH also found 2 of the CrystalView XT Android 2.3, 7in Swivel Netbook Tablet at $25 each ,
not sure if I want to jump on those

Anyone have one ? Can you use it without the keyboard ???? and can you just use your finger like an iPad or do you have to use a stylus ?

UPDATE: I looked at the reviews of the Swivel Netbook Tablet , but they probably paid $100-$150
I wonder what the reviews would be at $25 ?

mossadacity 01-09-2013 12:31 PM

Passed by 3 stores in the South Bay (Bay Area) this morning... 2 didn't have tablets, and the third (San Jose on North 1st St. near 237) rang up as $50.

ahbroody 01-09-2013 12:42 PM

Grabbed the last one at los gatos cvs. Rang up 24.99. Asked them to check for more said no more.
As noted its alright, fairly responsive, but display is rough. At 24.99 I will let the kids watch netflix youtube and play games with it.

Forgot to mention. They had a couple of tvs, but they were full price. 149 for a crappyv13inch tv

travfar 01-09-2013 01:01 PM

I went back to the honey hole for a microwave, no microwaves to be found. I saw they had the Vivitar camcorders for $8.75. Grabbed two. Are these thiings worth $8.75, they had a bunch left.

I asked about the Craig 13" HDTV w/builtin DVD player. The mgr said those are on sale, he scanned it and said it's $37. I asked about the RCA 13" HDTV w/builtin DVD player. He scanned that. $37 again. I stand there looking at them trying to figure out which one to buy. A guy comes up behind me and says "How much are those!?!?!". The mgr looks at me and says $37. He then asks if they have anymore. The mgr says "Let me check". He comes out with another RCA. The guy buys it. I finally settle on the RCA as well and leave the Craig. The Craig had one better feature, a VGA port. Yes I still use those. They both have HDMI and the RCA also has component.. But between a Craig and a RCA, I'll go RCA. Yes, I know that RCA isn't much better since they are just a rebrander now but still. $37 for a 13" HDTV w/dvd player. Not bad.

Some people were advising calling in this case, and considering it was a hike between stores and I'm stuck at work.. I'll admit it. I called.

Just this once.

Just a little.

Stores like cvs and Walgreens have employees that definitely know the price of things. When it's 75% they are seeing whatever is available.

camarossguy2 01-09-2013 01:20 PM

went to several CVS stores around Jacksonville, most had neither the tablet or the tv however one store had a dozen TVs and they all ring up as $149 dollars

travfar 01-09-2013 01:23 PM

Couldn't find a real review about the RCA TV, but found a user review. Looks like a keeper.

"It's a keeper." Way more detail in the thread. Including that it does come with a VGA port. Yeah!!

Just got back from a CVS. I was after the Craig 7" android tablet. Did not ring up $24.99.............it rang up $9.99. Obviously I bought all they had. Here is a pic of it and receipt. This is the same tablet right? Original price was $99.99.

BosuxRedsux 01-09-2013 01:31 PM

sux, never works in nyc or scarsdale. $50, and the mgr said it was a good price, he said he was going to get it for his kids. I told him some places they're $25.00.
Oh well.

Man, you scored! I bought a "CrystalView" tablet on Black Friday at HEB+ for $49, and it looks identical to what you just got for $10. I wasn't disappointed for $49. For $10, a no brainer. I use it for Kindle/reading and checking email occasionally.

I hope it's not the same Vivitar camcorder CVS was selling last year. I got one for $9.99 on clearance. I wasn't expecting anything great, but the picture quality was beyond bad. I couldn't believe that it was being sold at any price.

beaulieu 01-09-2013 04:25 PM

I just opened one of the Vivitar camcorders.....

this is barely a toy you would give to a grade school kid ,

Cheap plastic ,very small screen , and it uses the smaller AAA batteries so you will have to buy them more often ,

Nothing on the box or instuctions on how many megapixels it has, or how long it takes to fill a 1 gig SD card (not included)

and its in the biggest box you can imagine ......

OK its only $8.75 but people probably bought it at $39,95 list and had to be very unhappy

slick826 01-09-2013 04:28 PM

I bought a keebler mini pie maker for $5 and a infrachef oven for $15.
Didn't find any electronics :(

MrTator 01-09-2013 04:45 PM

I was able to pick up 3 of these things in Northern Virginia. Other than the screen being so bad this thing works half way decent. Oh and I do seem to be having a problem bringing the amazon app store back up, anyone else have an issue with this?

Worth $8.75 or should I try for a return. This time they didn't scribble "no returns" all over my receipt.

Yeah ya did! Scored the same $9.99 deal on BOTH the tablets and the Netbook/Tablet combo thing. OP, might need to add the $14.99 for the 13" dvd/tv combo to your post (had about 12 of these) and $0.99 for the change sorters. I'd say I made out pretty well...:look:

eliteconcept 01-09-2013 05:40 PM

pippypoppy 01-09-2013 05:43 PM

Don't know if anyone's mentioned it, they also have Craig zipper earbuds in with the Xmas clearance. They were marked down to $2. I like having extra earbuds around for when my headphones go out or get lost (I tend to wind my cord around my mp3 player, and so the cords eventually fray). Don't know if they are any good or how silly that zipper will look, but I'm not too bothered about perfection and even if they are pretty blah they will do me in a pinch next time my headphones die until I can get better ones.

Darn, I bought one for no particular reason except it was cheap (my cameras take video and I rarely use that). Now I don't know if I should open it at all or return, or maybe send to my sister to let her kids play with it.

Anyone else played with the vivitar camcorder yet? Got any feedback about it?

Did not get the tablet. But got two kodak minicamcorder for $12.75 each (original $49.99). The store had a sign of 50%off but when scanned it came out 75% off. Not a bad deal for 2 camcorder for a total of $26. They are waterproof too up to 3m ;) and came with rechargable battery.

They did not have any tablets and the lady wouldn't check any other locations for me but I did call (I know, I know) the one in downtown Madison and they had 1 tablet but said it was $99 they did say the one on Mineral Point had some left as well, this was earlier this afternoon.

Gosh darn it!!!! I got ripped off for $37 for the 13" TV/DVD!!!!!

What Kodak camcorders?

Some of the TVs are last years models, at my store these were scanning full price, but we sold them for 75% off too. If you have a friendly store you might ask if they will give it to you for that price. They can go to the list of items that are clearanced and see that this years model, the one with the DVDplayer in it, is clearanced.

I just called my local CVS for the 7" tablets and they sell it for $99.99, not $9.99 or $24.99. so I dont know where i can prove to them that it is on sale?

If they have them in stock then I would go anyway, they will automatically ring clearance, it is not something the store does, it is sent down from corp. now whether or not it is 50 or 75 percent off does depend on the store, all should be 75 at this point. The person you talked to probably just gave you the price without scanning it.

Thats not a bad idea. I'll try that out. It was a serious question tho. What are people doing with these?

upallnight312 01-09-2013 07:26 PM

CVS on Lincoln and Damon in Chicago has the TV for $37 and portable DVD player for $19 if anyone is interested. No tablet :(

kmaw 01-09-2013 07:29 PM

I live in a small town and my store had nothing like this left. All Christmas was 75% off. Thanks for the post though, was worth the shot to go check and see anyway :).

slick826 01-09-2013 07:31 PM

If they are checking prices at register make sure they scan your cvs card before they price check it... I bought something and it rang up full price till they scanned my cvs card...

sablenbagles 01-09-2013 07:37 PM

I'd appreciate it if anybody in the Greater Northeast Philadelphia/Bensalem area could let me know if they tried any stores for the tablet and they were OOS. I'd have to take the bus since I have no car.

I'm stopping by a cvs on my way to work tomorrow, i called around but almost every store was like "we don't have any" right away.
Worth a 5 minute stop to make sure

The last Craig touchscreen device I bought at CVS worked for about a day. I e-mailed customer service and it literally took a month to get a reply, which essentially was a broken English version of go jump in a lake ...

FireRockss 01-09-2013 08:09 PM

Oh Adam Adam,
I was just scoping out the clearance at the CVS's too and I know I saw some of those tablets. They had a raised bowl feeder I wanted for my doggie on sale so grabbed that. Reason I'm writing back to you is because u hit all my stores! I live in Bethpage but which CVS did u hit.There's at least 2 but probably more than that.

Check out craigslist and have a good laugh. Guy in south philly is listing a bunch of them for $350 saying he bought em for $500. Scummy.

agt_dale_cooper 01-09-2013 08:26 PM

Nice....+1 given to OP for pointing all this out.

Scored a CrystalView XT at #9528, 7740 RANCHO SANTA FE ROAD,CARLSBAD, CA 92009
$25; this store has some of the other stuff left, but no tablets, no XTs.

Scored a second one at #8886, 1706 OCEANSIDE BOULEVARD, OCEANSIDE, CA 92054
$25; this store has virtually nothing left...there was something, but the manager was unenthused.

One by the Carlsbad Mall didn't have SQUAT except hot broads walking around buying their sex drive-killing drugs.

I have yet to actually see the original Craig tablet, let alone it's new $10 rate.

XT is here: http://www.cvs.com/shop/product-d...uId=887163 , still showing $69.99 via web.
MIGHT try to order some to store then price match using my existing receipts.
The reviews suck, but they're mainly from morons that couldn't figure out that WiFi requires SD card present. $25 is pretty much a throw-away price anyway, so I don't care....perhaps I'll feed it to The Cat.

Managers are telling me these prices have been active since Monday....get on it if you haven't already.

pkp413 01-09-2013 08:32 PM

I went to 6 stores today but none had the $10 tablet. Also, none of the electronics was marked down. But I did get some other random deals from their clearance, like prezel maker for $5 and pie maker for $2.50 and other junk like that.

almondwalnut123 01-09-2013 08:33 PM

got the tablet for $50 (originally $99)...not that great of a deal but it is okay. also got the RCA HDTV and DVD combo for $40. TU

None at the Midtown Houston CVS. :(

If anybody scores some of the $10 tablets, I'd like to have one, please let me know and I'd pay you extra for shipping and your time. Thanks!

Did u try its wifi yet? I dont seee why inserting.the sd card will help the wifi connection. Plus, if that is required then it should be mentioned big and bold on the sticker. I dont think they r morons like u think.

mrmoomoo 01-09-2013 09:13 PM

got the tablet for $25 at the henderson store on pecos and wigwam

t0mmyr 01-09-2013 09:17 PM

just checked 5 stores on my way home from work, 1 in sherman oaks and 4 in burbank, ca. found the last tablet for $25 at one of the stores in burbank... there were a handful of 13" tv/dvds left at the store on hollywood way & verdugo

thanks OP

now, can someone direct me to the custom rom development thread for this tablet? i have a feeling there won't be a section dedicated for this tab on xda...

buddybd 01-09-2013 09:21 PM

Do all CVS' carry electronics? I don't remember seeing tablets and stuff in the CVS closest to me.

Buckeyefan 1 01-09-2013 09:24 PM

My rating on the tablet just decreased by a full point from 3.5 to 2.5 (out of 5, 5 being a Nexus 7). The screen is almost unbearable. In portrait mode, it looks translucent. The off axis is so bad, even at a few degrees, you loose resolution. I'd almost describe it like watching a 3D movie without the glasses.

To top it off, the Amazon App store quit working. I deleted it, then re-loaded it. Still nothing. The Get-jar app store has a bunch of popular free apps, but none of them work. I really didn't want to root this thing, but it's looking like it has to be rooted to be usable. And with the 3D dizzying effect of the screen, this thing is going to be reset to factory, and flipped on CL for the first $65 cash offer (or a lot less, but that's where I start).

I can't wait to ditch this thing. Even rooted, the screen is not tolerable. No one missed anything here. Trust me. Wait for a Nook Color or Nook Tablet on ebay. This is not a good budget tablet.

that should help with rooting but im crossing my fingers to see a jellybean rom for this

fyi, here is the manufacture page for the craig tablet

http://www.craigelectronics.com/s...php?id=414

which contains a 4.0 firmware download with instructions, i don't know if this is an update or just a safeguard to restore to if you break it badly when rooted...

firstdavis 01-09-2013 09:39 PM

are they available in davis? anyone?

pecola 01-09-2013 09:40 PM

I was going to check at my neighborhood CVS for the $25 tablet.

For a $10 tablet? I'm checking out every CVS in a 25 mile radius.

nosliw 01-09-2013 09:46 PM

Thanks. Yeah they put it on hold for me, I'm going to pick it up tomorrow and hope it rings up the price. I don't know how some people can get it for $9.99 and some for $24.99. Does it depend on each store? Did anyone buy this product? If you did, can you please take a picture of the receipt and post it on the forum? Thank you !!!

I couldn't get my hands on the 7" Craig tablet. But i managed to get this 7" tablet/(laptop?) for $25 and this cool phone thingy that connects to my cell phone 3.5mm jack for $2.50. I couldn't find anything the OP listed and their DVD players/portable DVD player weren't really discounted..

CVS in Stamford, CT had 3 Craig tablets at $24.99, though they were the CMP738b model - 800Mhz processor, Android 2.2, no camera. The CrystalView XT rang up at 49.99 :-(

willguy 01-09-2013 10:18 PM

Just got one from cvs across my house after reading this thread. I asked the cashier and she went looked for it under the photo dept register and came back telling me there's none left. I took a peek in there and saw there's one sitting there so i asked her to take it out and it rang up $24.99. Went to the next closest store and the manager told me she did a search earlier and no cvs in 15 miles radius have it in stock but managed to scored the wireless router for $6.95. So, don't trust their inventory checker.

desert904 01-09-2013 10:34 PM

Got the tablet rooted with netflix and google play. Got rid of alot of junk. Set the CPU to run a little higher. Not bad for $25. Nothing great though.

azoiic 01-09-2013 10:41 PM

If you live in Los Angeles don't even bother visiting your nearest CVS.

I was bored today and me and my friends went all over LA looking for this $10.

I personally check 7 different CVS stores, I basically checked all of west hollywood, and west los angeles including the wilshire, la brea, and la cienega area.

Just trying to save you guys some time.

Cheersdears 01-09-2013 10:56 PM

I searched about 3 stores in my area, at the second store I searched I was able to grab the microwave for 14.99 plus I received 1.50 back in CVS dollars to spend at a later date. I then used it towards another purchase at the same store on the Christmas items they on sale. At the third store the associate was kind enough to call other stores in my area and ask if they had the 13" tv with the dvd player and they were all out. Some stores even claimed that they did not receive any of the items during the holiday season. Nonetheless thanks for the heads up. I definitely repped those that contributed on the first page of this thread. :woot:

harikc1980 01-09-2013 10:56 PM

uberw00tness 01-09-2013 10:59 PM

Any luck at any Orange County, CA CVS stores?

I went to a few nearby stores and no luck, and they told me they had no way to check inventory of other nearby stores so I gave up. Maybe tomorrow I'll do the unthinkable and give some stores a call...

mrmoomoo 01-09-2013 11:01 PM

just wanna ask, i bought a tablet but its pretty scratched up i didnt know it was a return but from experience would cvs mark it down anymore for damages?
