that if recent years' trends continues, will be discounted by about 70% within the next few weeks. However, I'm worried about inventory. Last year by the time it dropped and I went to purchase, it was long gone, online and in stores. The item is Seasonal and thus is not covered by their Price Adjustment policy. What's my play here if any? 

Don't be poor and never worry about price tags or sales.

pumpkin spiced fleshlight?

you should probably be a little more vague about it.  That's my advice.

Not being intentionally vague but now I'm going to start. This could be fun. 

If you post good advice I'll PM you 3 clues. 

Go to store and rip open/dent a bunch of the boxes to ensure they won't be purchased at full price.

Use a credit card that offers price protection, like Citi's Price Rewind.

Maybe.

If it’s Costco, walk back in with your receipt when they drop the price and they’ll refund the difference. Source - I bought a tv there in late October and the guy told me to do that after Thanksgiving.

 

I guess you mentioned cost adjustment policy, which is maybe that. I refer you to scene one of the movie “Old School”.

Be aware Citi cheapened Price Rewind last year, stopped new purchase eligibility last month, and will completely cancel the program early next year.

It's dead, Jim.

Why do dildos go on sale in the fall?

your mom goes on vacation?

As others have mentioned, if it’s most box stores, buy today and take your receipt in when price drops.

Do you need it now? Since it’s seasonal can you leave it in the box? If price drops and they won’t take your receipt, take it back and rebuy it (my wife has been know to do this).

If you use ameros it will be more than 70% now.

Man, when I was a kid there wasn't anything better than a new box of crayons.  

I don't understand all this over buying a big box. The grocery store has tons of them for free on delivery day.

His code word is for those “homemade sausage stuffers”.

My dad worked at Maytag. Me and my brothers loved it when he'd bring home an appliance box or 3. Instant "He-Man Woman Haters" clubhouses. Or forts. Or just whatever our imaginations could come up with that day. Scrip clubs...

Grandfather was a plumber. Water heater boxes were the best toy a kid could have.

Being a customer is a sucker move. You want to open your own Big Box Store. Then you can have this item at wholesale.

brickseek probably has an alert feature so that when walmarts near you put grokers on sale for 70% off you get an email

lol. Brickseek. Most retailers have horribly inaccurate online inventory systems , especially walmart, which is what Brickseek queries.

Expect Brickseek to report 25 grokers for 70% off at your nearest walmart when they haven't had one in-store for 6 months.

Huh. I've had good luck, i.e., never been screwed over by the system, at Wal-Mart. Bought a 49" 4K TV that way a couple years back for $149. Prolly the only time I've checked their warehouse like that so I guess I just got lucky.
