I went to another store where Brickseek said they had 2-3 in stock. None were on the shelf but the clerk found some in the cage behind the counter. Only 1 500GB but 2 1TBs. That store's clearance price was $73.87 for 500GB and $93.81 for 1TB. I bought all three because I needed 3 of the 500 GBs and the deal was basically near the end of stock.
Then I found 2 different stores near me that had close to the lowest prices but all out of stock. One store was 500 GB at $24.92. Went to the electronics counter and the guy said he couldn't do any returns and I had to go to customer service. Went to customer service and explained what I wanted to do. She verified on her phone the clearance price of $24.92 and then refunded my $49.56. When she went to ring it up at their store price, she kept refreshing her phone and this $149.99 price showed up. She said she had to go ask her manager because she needed an approval to override the web price. Manager said no go because the web price was a Walmart reseller so couldn't match the price. As a Slickdealer, I wasn't going to accept that reason so I continued to work her until finally she asked the CS girl to scan the box and it scanned at $24.92 she said oh then ring it up if it's still in the system! Bingo.
On to the next store a few miles away, that CS girl did it all in one transaction. Took the 2- 1 TBs I paid $93.81 each and credited me the difference for a final price of $49.35 each!!!
Hope this long winded post helps someone out if you find a much higher price in stock location and take to a low price location that is out of stock and have then refund and do new purchase at their lower price. A lot of work but huge savings on something I really needed. BTW, each store said it was up to the store to come up with the clearance prices and stores would not match other store clearance prices.
So it is not on clearance anymore I guess.
Edit: this is for the 1TB version on the other thread.

- Bought the stupid "newer" 1 TB SSD first and had to return it. No need to check SKUs/UPCs if you're already looking at them in the store. The "newer" one that isn't on clearance has two separate read/write speeds written on the front, one is 1050 MB/s, forgot the other. The older SKUs on clearance only have one speed rating, 550 MB/s.
- Actually found the 500 GB and 1 TB SSD in stock at one Wal-Mart, but not marked down. $56 for 500 GB, $140 some for the 1 TB. No problem, "return/rebuy" is my middle name. I have never been refused at BBY, Target, or Wal-Mart in well over a decade. "My friend paid for it" - "I forgot to use this gift card. Oh, it's empty? Great, now I have to wait for that refund to clear for no reason." - "I used the wrong card." - Whatever feels natural.
- The 1 TB SSD was actually marked all the way down to $4x.xx at the store I already had to return the "new" 1 TB SSD at. I deserve an Oscar for the face I made when the lower price came up.
- The store with the 512 GB SSDs marked down to $22.40 [but OOS] absolutely refused to re-sell them. Lady said something about having to wait for them to go back through returns and on the shelf so that LP wouldn't go after her - I believe her. She already had a "Team Lead" back there to help out with someone's bungled .com order, so I [politely] asked "Think it'd be worth talking to him about it?" - "Sure, if you don't mind waiting. He'll probably tell you the same thing." Manager stopped as soon as he saw "SANDISK" on the receipt. "Sorry man, I have to return these to the manufacturer as soon as I scan them, I have no control over it." Well, at least they were up front about it and didn't return them first and then tell me "sorry lol, mine now."
I have one more store to try way the hell on the other end of town. There's a good takeout place nearby, I'll make a trip out of it. 3x 500 GB SSDs for three little sisters, and a shucked 1 TB mSATA drive to stick in an old computer that had a stupid mSATA riser card, all for about the price of one 1 TB SSD. Perfect-o.5/31 - see a store ~25min away that BS says 2-3 in stock at $47.17. I make the drive there and lo and behold after a bit of looking 3 are sitting there on the clearance endcap they had in electronics in plastic lock boxes. I buy them all. My usual store 10min away had these at the $22.25 but obviously OOS. I was planning on doing return rebuy there the next day.
6/1 - go to said usual store. I tell customer service I noticed a lower price after I bought yesterday and washed to return rebuy. She said no problem. She then took one look at the receipt though and saw it was from the store across town, then told me "actually no sorry if you need a price adjustment you need to go back to that store, it's policy." Of course with my luck her badge said "team lead" so I didn't really push back at all on it. I asked her as I was walking out if it was a company policy or just this store. She said "as far as she knew it was direction given to the stores in this metro area." I was like "ok" and walked out.
Same day, next closest store with that price was 35-40 minutes away in a nearby small town. I make the drive, and the way everything went at that CS desk kinda weird, but it was still a good outcome.
I told the associate (elderly lady, which I'm only saying because I'm pretty sure it helped that she clearly had no idea what these products were) that I noticed a lower price and wanted to do a [B]price adjustment[B] and that I thought she could do it all as one transaction as a return (scan all three like a return, press sale and then exchange, scanning the three again which would refund the difference.) I worked retail in the past so I'm 95% sure that would've worked, but she just didn't understand what I was saying.
She scanned my receipt and saw the original price I paid. She then scanned the UPC and her register did indeed pull the $22.25 price. Then she said out of nowhere that she needed to call her manager over to do an override. At that point I was like oh no maybe this is sunk, the manager is going to give me trouble. Then the manager shows up 15 seconds later who also happened to be an elderly lady that didn't know what the products were either lol. She did some sort of override and said "it can only be refunded back to a gift card for a price adjustment just so you know." I was like "really it can't go back to the payment card?" to which she said "not for this kind of thing no." The original associate then activates a gift card for the difference of $24.92 x 3 + tax, and says there we go and handed me a generic gift card activation receipt. I was like uh what just happened lol because I didn't see any receipts referencing the products themselves. I asked for the receipt of the actual transaction, and she didn't see a customer copy, manager said "reprint it" she did, and I was about to walk out when I realized the reprint was actually for the last customer. I went back up to the side of the next customer in line and said "uh this isn't my transaction" and then she just grabbed a store copy off the counter and said "oh that one's yours" which I took and then left, only then realizing what happened.
They processed the whole thing as a no receipt transaction! Why they did it that way I have no idea, but I wasn't going to push my luck since a Walmart gift card is good at Sam's Club gas stations, and I exclusively fill my car at warehouse clubs. Might as well be cash to me I'm always going to need gas
Anyway that's my story. That no receipt record copy is attached if anyone is curious. I'll be using all 3 drives though so awesome deal!
