Read the rest of their exclusions.  It says they don't price match clearance (this is) and the item has to be in stock (it isn't in most cases).  I am all about getting a deal, but you guys gaming the system is why we can't have nice things.

What?  They can check to see if it's clearance or in stock.  The Dicks I went to chose not to and I got 4 nice things.

Comment was more aimed at all those getting pissed that they couldn't buy $65 cans at Dicks or Academy or get Walmart to match other stores.  Sorry.

The post I quoted didn't say anything about clearance. I didn't get the price match at Dicks because the gun counter guy couldn't find it in stock locally, and I wasn't a jerk to him. Of course there are any number of reasons - under their price match policy - that they won't give the discount.  But when the reason given by the guy at the store is "we don't match Wal Mart" it's worth pointing out that their advertisement says "We match Wal Mart."

You said on the last page to play by the rules. All I'm doing is reading the rule book to other participants

Academy’s price match policy doesn’t say they flat out deny a clearance price. It says they reserve the right to deny the price match. So, it’s really not taking advantage of them.

One of the Walmart locations in my vicinity lists it at $59 on brickseek. Out of stock though.

It’s getting cheaper!

Just went to Dicks after work and tried to get the Dick in sporting goods to price match but he said he couldn’t unless I could prove that Walmart still had them in stock at a local store(which they’re all sold out).  I was trying to use the pic of the price on the shelf that one of you guys provided.  Three cans of m855 stayed on their shelf.  I may eventually try another store.

I guess I could’ve taken the approach of just pulling it off the shelves and taking it up to the high school age cashiers and see if I could get away with the price match without anybody questioning the big price difference.  The sporting goods dick couldn’t believe Walmart was letting it go on sale to that steep of a discount, so he knew better and basically gave me a hard ‘no’

Online price match at Academy requires direct link with price verification

Third party submissions,receipts,or screen shots don’t meet their price match requirements for online price match orders

Finally scored a couple cans for $89ea. Been watching the two near my house, seen them on the shelf so knew they were there. Brickseek still showed $124 this morning, then I checked again this afternoon and they were $89. Drove to Walmart and not a soul in sight near the SG counter aside from the friendly associate. Thanks for posting this thread, OP!

The local stores here in DFW won’t price match other stores. But, I was able to grab one more can today.

I found one box as my Walmart but it’s marked at $174 while Brickseek says $64.

Do I need to ask them to check the price for me?

Definitely have them ring it up.   They always swear to me it's not clearance, and then shit their pants when it rings up super low.

Have them scan it, when they scan it should show the correct price. My can and shelf tag still had the $174 price but rang up for the brickseek price.

Just go back at a different time and try when that dick isn’t there. Or just take it up front and ask them. I never ask the counter guy they always get pissy because they can’t get a good deal.

I'm really tempted to try this. I think I literally lost out at least in part because the gun counter guy was jealous

I stopped by a local Academy today to see if they would price match, if I had a receipt from another store. The guy behind the counter said as long as the UPC matched, it was okay with him. Unfortunately, this Academy was temporarily OOS on M855, but they did have a can of M193 for $149.99. I let it stay. The Academy guy said they get ammo shipments on Wednesdays and Sundays, so I'll go back. However, I did get a couple of $89 M855 cans that showed "in stock" at another W-M close by. I only had to wait 2 hours for the Sporting Goods manager to show up. 2 other employees had actually gone and looked in the back and came up empty handed, but she knew exactly what I wanted and where they were. 4 cans now, with pending acquisitions from Academy. I'm going to give one of them to my son in the Army. He is deployed right now and obviously can't get to any sales.

Did they seriously restock it?   I thought Walmart’s purpose was to get rid of these things?  
One Walmart about an hour away is showing 2 in stock for $89 but I was fooled by that twice this past week at Walmart’s closer to home that still had cans ‘in stock’.  When I get there they are all gone and the walmartards look around, look in back, etc and tell me they’re all gone.

I'm not sure. They sold out @$124 so I gave up.
Then I had a wild thought to see if any other locations had any. Bam, 5 cans in stock, $89 per.

I would simply tell them “I will take it” when it rings up at lower price then there’s your answer if it rings up at higher price simply say no thank you
