Consumers doing their Cyber Monday research saw some inconsistent markdowns likely due to minimum advertised pricing versus suggested retail, our scan of sale prices showed Monday afternoon. Walmart listed the Samsung UN46EH5000 46-inch LED TV at $478, which the website said was a 50 percent price reduction from $949. But a look around the Web found the same 46-inch TV at Best Buy for $479, down from what Best Buy said was a regular price of $629. B&H showed the same 46-inch Samsung model for $477, down from $697, and TigerDirect used Walmart’s approach, showing it at a $949 list price, with a discount to $477. Samsung showed the model on its own e-commerce website at $479, down from $949, through Dec. 2, with shipment after Dec. 16, it said. Elsewhere, standout Cyber Monday electronics deals were led by Amazon’s $50 slice off the Kindle Fire HDX tablet, bringing the price to $179 with free shipping. Best Buy tried to lure customers to stores offering a $10 gift card (up to $50 worth) for every $100 purchased at bestbuy.com with the in-store pickup option. Best Buy deals included the LG G2 smartphone for free with two-year activation through AT&T, Sprint or Verizon; a Fujifilm FinePix S4530 digital camera bundle -- including 8 GB SD card and carrying case -- marked down $210 to $119; and an Insignia 37-inch LED-lit LCD TV chopped by $100 to $199. According to BradsDeals, Walmart.com was the only website offering pre-orders of the next shipment of Xbox One consoles. Walmart was offering the Xbox One Call of Duty bundle for $617 including shipping while supplies last, with shipping expected on Dec. 16.
