Remember that plasma TV or DVD box set you bought last weekend? Guess what? It's now 20 percent off and you're out some cash. Or are you?
A Web site known as Price Protectr (
http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/zd/...protectr.com/#) is looking to help consumers recoup their money when recently purchased items go on sale. The site debuted in a limited capacity several months ago and will move out of beta for an official launch in approximately two weeks, said president Timothy Tonella.
A variety of retailers such as Best Buy and Amazon have little-known policies that allow customers to collect cash when items they have previously purchased are marked down further, within a certain timeframe. These policies are not highly publicized, however, and many consumers do not have the time or desire to monitor the price of their recently purchased items and then contact customer service when those purchases go on sale.
