    Home Depot Website Prices Have Nothing To Do With In Store Prices

    Remember, Home Depot's price match policy doesn't apply to online listings, including its own website. At his local store, Michael paid more than twice the online Home Depot price for a coaxial cable, but Home Depot refused to refund him the difference. They even say as much in small print on each page of their website. With Home Depot, be sure to call and get a valid local price quote before heading off to purchase something you saw online. More »

    Woman Buys House For $1.75 On EBay

    Joanne Smith from Chicago now owns an abandoned home in Saginaw, Michigan, and she only paid $1.75 for it on eBay. Well, there's also $850 in "back taxes and yard cleanup cost," reports MSNBC. Smith says she hasn't seen the house yet or visited the town, but we're thinking hello summer home! Or maybe it's a good place to put the parents when they retire. More »

    How Do You Get Out Of An EBay Auction? Say Killer Bees Attacked The Vehicle

    Pat won an auction for an RV on eBay last week. He bid a little over $15,000 for a vehicle that was listed for sale by the RV company for $29,999 on other sites. Pat was worried that Nelson's RV might try to find a loophole to cancel the auction since he'd scored such a great deal, so he immediately sent his required $250 deposit to them and asked for someone at Nelson's RV to contact him. Eventually, after some run around, he got the following email—with one of the ballsiest excuses we've ever seen. More »

    Expedia's "New York From $58 A Night" Offer Is Bunk (Beds)

    Expedia says they can get you room and board in NYC for $58 a night. Amy at NewYorkology looked into what such a low, low price actually gets you, and it's not pretty: think hostels, co-ed group rooms, mice, bunk beds, and generally dirty environments. If you're undaunted by college-lifestyle travel, Amy points out that there's one cheap hostel listed that has some good reviews, but since we're talking about ultra-budget hostels here, a good review actually includes the phrase, "best of all NO ROACHES!!!"

    How To Get $90 Off Your Comcast Bill

    Reader Matthew just cut his Comcast bill in half with a single phone call. He received a flier from one of Comcast's competitors that boasted a much better price than the $175 per month he was paying. When he called Comcast and told them about the better rate, he was swiftly transferred to "customer retention" which must be a place of magical wonderment because by the time he got off the phone his Comcast bill had been reduced by $90. How did he do it? His letter, inside... More »
