If you have not received your scanner yet, I'd reach out to the local store manager & show him this message string and take the unopened package (if ya actually get one) to the store and open it in the managers presence in case it is a brick you can try to claw back your funds from Walmart with help from the bank or credit card company.
It was legit Walmart and now sold out at the $409. They’re now showing an SDS100 from a diff supplier for $519. If the photo was accurate on the “new” one at $409 it did not appear to have the fat battery.
Now an Indian grocery store out of Florida is using the exact same ad as the other supplier, so I called the number in Florida, the guy on the phone claimed the ad is legit and the price is correct. The caller ID showed Parin Shah, which is the name of the owner of the company when you do an internet search on the company.
The SDS200 now also listed at $519 under the old sellers name.

I still think anyone who buys from this seller is setting themselves up for heartache, but let's see if the OP or any other customers report back. Maybe they got the deal of the century.
Having an LLC mean little. They can be formed and registered online. Take money through bogus sales, move on and form another one.

Yep, a scam in motion. There's been a lot of these over the years. Gotta love some of the product descriptions for the SDS100 in that ad......

Agreed. Maybe that is a description of the product that will be shipped!
Definite scam as he to only has 3 left, just like the other one
This is why it pays to buy from a reputable radio dealer or other trusted retailer. Obviously Walmart does not vet their third-party vendors very well. if at all. Amazon also sells through third-party vendors. Buyer beware.
Hope this all works out for the OP.

If I was the OP, I'd watch my credit card account very closely for the few months. My most recent instance of fraudulent charges on my credit card has involved Walmart. My bank took care of it. I no longer shop at Walmart.

Last time I heard about people getting a too good to be true deal on radios, they all blew up.
Agreed, great advice! I have never had any fraudulent charges after buying from Walmart online, but there is a first time for everything. Sad that we have enabled giants like Amazon and Walmart to drive smaller retailers out of business. The fast shipping and cheaper prices made it hard to resist. And honestly, I've often found that Amazon and Walmart are not much cheaper compared to say my local Stop & Shop on many items.

If PT Barnum is correct, the remainder should be gone in the next 2 minutes.
The same seller listed as "Permanently closed" earlier in this thread
