I don't think I have the resources to pull an old page w/ images from my phone.
Besides, that's fraud! The sale is over...

The listing wasn't searchable.i tried 5 places this morning, no go.
i almost had one BB location sub 980tis instead.
office depot/max was willing to price match it, but when they looked it up online to confirm it was showing normal price.
The listing wasn't searchable.
So if they went to microcenter.com and typed in "GTX 980" it wouldn't pop up.
My order shipped. Pretty lucky.

Looks like you were charged regular priceHere are the details of my Staples order e-mail. I've obviously removed my personal details. Fingers crossed that it arrives next week as stated. The formatting is a little screwy from the copy and paste.
Mods, please keep this thread open for a week so that we can post our updates. Perhaps move it to the [H]ot Deals Discussion if need be.

It showed up as the non-discounted price in my email also. My receipt says otherwise though.
He already paid in store. Look at bottom of his email.What does it say in your bank account?
Yes, my order isn't showing up in their tracking ID link. I'll try again on Mon. I hope no signature will be required. I thought about just having it shipped to the store b/c they're on my way home, but I was worried another manager might see the order and price and inquire about it, possibly canceling the order.Staples' online shipment tracking is terrible, by the way.
Updates are slow, sometimes not at all. It could just show up at your door without notice.
They often hand-off to different carriers so a lot of info gets lost along the way. Keep that in mind.
They just listed the regular price, not the PM'd price I paid.Looks like you were charged regular price
$512.11 (8.25% tax in TX) pending charge on my CC, which I assume will be settled on Mon.What does it say in your bank account?
RIP deal. thank the slickdeals bottomfeeders for ruining it
I got shut down at several BB and Staples, but Office Depot was not a problem at all. If you live in Dallas print out the PDF that has been floating around with the Microcenter Capture and go up to the store and say you want to price match it. The one I went to is in Addison off Beltline and Montfort, the manager was very helpful and took care of it right away. Good luck!
Just went to my local OfficeMax asked for the manager and he price matched it without question. Thanks for the tip.
Really from what I can tell, if you try to pricematch now, off of an older printed page it's pretty much fraud. The price isnt listed on the website, it's not really for sale. On top of that, going by the reddit thread, there have been emails sent from corporate to staples and officemax/depot not to pricematch, and peoples orders have been cancelled. This thing's dead.

The deal happened on a Friday which gives retailers plenty of time to cancel orders.Really from what I can tell, if you try to pricematch now, off of an older printed page it's pretty much fraud.

Some stores are still price matching the PDF printout.
I can't believe employees are dumb enough to price match a PIECE OF PAPER. There's no date on the PDF either. Theoretically you could keep it forever and go price match the 980 whenever you want.
Even better, edit the PDF yourself; change the price, turn it into a 980 Ti if you want! Change the SKU, etc. Fuck it.
The deal is continuing to spread via Reddit over the weekend:

If anything kills this deal (cancellations) it will be the idiots on PCMR.
Being near a MicroCenter helps but the success rate of the pricematch depends entirely on the employees and who you talk to. Some cashiers don't even call the manager; they just issue the pricematch and you're done. Others call the manager and they don't care either, so they approve it. It's a complete coin toss.Where do you live? All the Office Depot and Office Max caught on and if they did, it's for sure the bigger chains like BestBuy and Staples caught on here, I am in So Cal.

That's called fraud, genius.
