circuit city SUCKS

so much for not replying, eh?

You know, I had some sympathy for you at the start. However, the crybaby thing....the entertainment value is pretty astronomical.

True Story, I am from CT and always have $1000 stashed in the house somewhere, currently it is in a modified Insignia.

We always have a few bucks stashed in the house, however, that doesn't stop me from keeping money in a bank account that I could write a check on or use a debit card with. Especially if I were out shopping. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

I probably shouldn't be so hard on ol' Ben here but I find it laughable. I mean, sure, I can understand being ticked about missing a good deal but, really, it's no one's fault but his own....and then to whine about it like a baby, PRICELESS....I would also imagine if he were the guy with cash in hand, he'd be pissed that they wouldn't sell it to him because they were waiting on someone to come back with the cash.

You have a right to be pissed, but you shouldn't be suprised.

I'm sure if someone came in ready to buy it (an item the store is actively trying to sell quickly and cheap) the manager in charge could care less if some sales associate on the floor was trying to hold it or not. They just met you, why would they believe you? Its nice that you offered to make it worth his while with a twenty, but I really can't blame them for selling it anyways. Holding it for an hour would have been nice, but I rarely find a store that is willing to hold anything anymore. I'll call ahead to make sure something is in stock and they won't even hold it for the duration of my drive to the store.

CC is a high volume chain store. It's first come first serve. He told you he would hold it so you would MAYBE come back. That way if no one bought it and by some chance you did show back up he had a sale. No one gets personal attention at a high volume store. If you want to be treated well you need to go to the higher end audio stores and there you have to pay the big bucks.

You may not get treated well even if you are looking to spend big bucks. There are some high end dealers that treat customers like they are doing them a favor by "allowing" them to shop in their store.

I dont know about you guys, but I was lost at the whole Sony DLP thing....I guess he should not be to concerned if he or CC did not even know what they where buying or selling.

It's kinda like holding something for the first responder on Craigslist.
Now you turn down 20 guys waiting to see if the first guy shows up.
Sometimes, you just have to say "show up first with the money and its yours".
Dibs in the real world is nothing like dibs on the flea market here.
