Sony HD camcorder £60 cashback

[rupert-hd]

Hi, just been to my local Costco store which has the sony hdr tg3 camcorder for £352 including vat which is an absolute bargin!
Just wondering if Costco is one of the retailers that meets sonys criteria to claim back the £60 cashback offer they are offering at the moment on their hd camcorders.
If so that would be amazing, a tg3 for £290!!
Cheers

Well I spoke to the duty manager at Costco who assures me all their sony products come direct from sony. Therfore should be able to make the cashback claim!

Hey Daroca I seen the tg3 in the Cardiff branch which is by me.
I picked up the tg3 today as it was too good an offer to pass.
When you go into Costco the electricals are on display and you then write down the product code take it to the till and they get your item from the stock room. Well to cut a long story short when the guy bought the camera out of the stock room he told me he was pretty sure that next week they will be doing a special offer on the tg3 and possibly knocking another 50 0r 60 quid off!!! So he said to me take the camera now, if the price does drop bring it back get a refund under their no quibble 90 day return policy and re purchase at the lower price. This combined with the cashback offer from sony could make it around the £250 mark which is crazy,if it dosen't come off well still the best price i've seen and costco give a 2 year warranty as standard!!
I will keep this thread posted if the price does drop!

I just rang up my local store in Liverpool and they don't have any. They said that others might have some left over if they used to be on sale, or if that particular branch ordered them in in the first place.

Saying that she didn't sound all that clued up so I think I might take a visit to check it out with my own eyes.

Definatly worth a check if its not too much of a journey. The Costco by me has only recently opened, but I have already seen quite a few things come in and out so maybe its one of those items once its gone its gone and they won't be replacing. Also seems to fit thats maybe why they are going to do a special offer on it to get rid of the last few.

Usually costco will price a clearance item ending with 97p. This ends with 99p so shouldn't be discontinued

Well Just a quick update Costco did drop the price on the camcoder!! Dropped by £60 so it is now £292 and with the sony cashback offer it should come down to £232!!! which is amazing.
Took my one back and explained about the price drop and they gave me a full refund and told me to go grab another new one at the lower price!
Unfortunatly looks like they are a one off item as the lady who got mine from the stock room said there were only a few left.
