LG VX-4500
VX-4500 33.33%Price Increase
Along the way, it was raised $10.00 to $129.99 first at the store, then also on their web site.
I guess they're still trying to clear inventory of the old VX-4400, which they're currently offering for $89.99 AFTER $30 rebate (the same price they introduced the VX-4500 for on 1/28/04!).
These silly pricing games are one reason I'm holding off on renewing my 2-yr contract with Verizon.

Well, I stopped by my favorite local Verizon company store yesterday afternoon, and guess what - they're still selling the VX4500 for $129.99 (before $30.00 rebate).

You wouldn't know they all worked for the same company, would you! 😕
Verizon - We're NOT looking out for you!
The reason why some customers thought the phone was 129.99 is not because of an error by verizon...but rather a marketing sceme. They include the accessory bundle ($50 in value) and add it to the phone price and say that the phone COMES with everything.....Soooo
79.99 + 50 = 129.99 (after a $30 mail in rebate with a 2 year agreement)
keep in mind you dont have to take the accessories if you dont want them...however i would recommend it....the accessories are a leather case, headset, and a car charger normally costing you $80!! In the package bundle it is only $50
hope that cleared it up...
