Deal Details
I bought one of these on Black Friday for $199 (usually $299) and it rocks! Was in my locall Walmart this morning and saw three on clearance for $99 each so picked up another for a gift! YMMV as the app said $299 if you order online but rang up as $99 just now in store. Awesome deal if you can find one!

*It doesn't seem to want to let me post a pic, but I took one of the display showing the price. Awesome find! Ahh, had to edit the posting from my laptop to get the photo up!

There should be a different section on Slickdeals for YMMV deals. I've been on here for like 8 years now and not once have I been able to replicate a YMMV deal.
Brickseek was also always pretty questionable, even with a paid subscription, but now it's downright useless.

There should be a new app called lazydeals for people who complain about Slickdeals

That's more of a statement about you than slickdeals.

I've found a few of these YMMV over the years and they were gold. Got one a couple weeks ago too. I would keep at it. Brickseek can be spotty but I've still seen it accurate for Lowe's and Home Depot. Most items are not priced properly in store so people aren't seeing them while shopping.

As far as the speaker, this is a good price. JBL's are some of the pricier bluetooth speakers on the market but their quality and reputation may deem that worthy depending on what you're looking for.

100W, 50 Hz - 20k Hz @-6dB, BT 5.1, and IPX4 make this a nice little banger for $99. They were selling the much smaller charge 4 for $100 retail.

So I found these in the North Conway, NH Walmart (2x left after I grabbed that top one - for anyone else living out here in the woods lol). I scanned the barcode on the box and it showed up at $278 from a 3rd party seller online... But when I put my Walmart app in "Store Mode", it did show $99 at my location. Seems like Walmart is no longer selling these themselves online (just listings for 3rd party sellers on their website I think). I'm guessing this was a Walmart holiday/Black Friday leftover... The last one I bought, on BF from Amazon for $199, did not come with the wireless microphones and had a smaller battery and a couple less strobe LEDs on the top too. I NEVER seem to find steals like this at my local Walmart! Hope someone else can nab one at another location!
By store mode do you mean selecting the location of the store in the Walmart app?

Oh no I mean my iPhone connected to the in-store wifi network and it put the app into "In-Store" Mode which then showed the $99 price actually.

sorry but wasting gas on a YMMV post is "not brilliant" and falls under the "idiotic" category.

If there is no way to achieve a deal without going into a brick and mortar store then honestly it isn't a deal for most people. there's a reason why online sales broke every record last black friday but clowns like OP think people want to venture into a store to save $50!

This thing is $300 elsewhere right now. For people who would want to buy it, $200 savings is a great deal. No need to shit on OP because you have diarrhea. Use a bathroom.
