Have you genuinely used that technique, where I am price match promises say internet pricing doesn't count. Indeed sometimes their own websites have lower prices.

I've had very mixed results.

* MicroCenter stores won't price match online stores, only nearby competitors.

* Sears stores will price match their own website (which is apparently a mostly separate business), but I don't think they will match any other websites.

* Windstream internet's website didn't work, and when I called in, they told me I'd get the deal on the website. When I got the bill, it was 40% higher. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops on the phone to eventually find out that the price they quoted me is only for places where they have competition. But they gave me the discount anyways since I asked.

It depends on the store. I've had Fry's match a Newegg price before.

Did it at Best Buy (pulled up Amazon).
