Went into the local Radiosmack today to get a serial to usb cable to program my BC396XT and got a pretty sweet deal. The guy pointed to a table and I was like nah I'm looking for something else, so I got what I wanted and the table stayed in mind because something just caught my eye and didn't seem right. Well I walked over there and looked, looked again and quickly snatched a box.. it was a uniden BC996XT for 90 bucks!
Moral of the story? Go to radio shack often!
On a side note, is it possible to clone the two radios?
So this is AGAIN another report from "new" member of a $90 Uniden 996XT from Radio Shack.This is your absolute first post and this is what you bring?? I think you need to do better.
This is really simple for me to say at this point, I call BS/Troll on this until you do the following.
1. Tell us what city and state you purchased the scanner for $90. Details that were clearly left out of the first post.
2. Copy the receipt and post a picture here for all of us to see. This receipt should also include the 6-7 digit Radio Shack item number as there is not an in store item number associated with the the 996XT for some time, this item has only be direct order for quite a while
I have checked into this in my area and the Uniden 996XT at Radio Shack is as I recall $349.97, yes somewhat discounted, however, not $99 deal. Additionally there are VERY few Uniden 996XT in inventory in the Radio Shack District that I live and NON in the immediate metropolitan area. We also had a really hard time locating the in store item number for this product as it had been purged from the Radio Shack search database.
So either this is a very regionalized clearance or this does not exist without PROOF and DETAILS.
Radio Shack does in fact have clearance and discontinued items and a clearance table in many stores, so this can and does happen to products. I have purchased many reduced priced items from the stores over the years, I have even purchased some things for $0.01 or even had store managers give me items at no cost because the item was no longer in the inventory system and there was no longer a price associated with the item.
