Save Money at Pottery Barn Kids

While surfing for deals online, I came across what I would call a trick which can potentially save you up to 50% at Pottery Barn Kids . This trick works only on some items, not all of the items. Here is how it works:

1. Locate an item (i.e. Pink Mini Zooper Doll Stroller - listed at 59.99)

2. Add the item to your cart

3. Copy the item number (87-9645219 for the stroller mentioned above)

4. Paste the item number in the search box, but substitute the 87- with 89- (the item number for the stroller would now be 89-9645219)

5. Click Search (the stroller is now listed at 29.99)

95- sometimes works instead of 89-. Sometimes they both work, with one providing a lower price and one an even lower price. Sometimes neither of them work. Finally, sometimes they may increase the price so search carefully and pay attention before adding to your cart.
Some people have questioned the morality. The decision to use it is up to you. According to a few sources, this "feature" has existed for over a year.

This trick, or a variation of it also works with Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma. This makes since they all belong to Williams-Sonoma, Inc. The trick to try with these two stores is to change the item number to begin with a 9-.
