This occured in the Riverside, CA store off Day St, but anyways....
I walk into store, head to computers like usual. I stop by video cards. I see a stack of 20 Radeon 7500 All In Wonder for $129.99. I say "nice price, gotta confirm this." I ask a friendly sales associate, and she confirmed the price at $129.99+tax. So, I pick up one, and head to the checkout. Then it gets messy from here...
"Hello Sir, Thank you for choosing Best Buy" - Sales due
".........." -me
"$199.99" - Sales guy
"WTF!" as my jaw hits the counter ... "I saw it for 129.99 and had it confirmed, with acutally, that lady right there. Go ask her herself"
"Umm, I need to call my manager...."
I wait around for 10 minutes, and my friend decides to wander the store some more. Pretty fun to edit things on the floor model computers anyways... He wanders over to the video card land, and sees best buy associates and the manager removing inventory and the price tag off the shelf. As if they were trying to hide it... suspicous. A few minutes later, a new tag, and a bunch of normal Radeon 7500's.
Im still at the checkout, nothing happening, line growing. The manager comes over and says "I dont know where you got this, this isn't even for sale yet. We can go over and check if you like"
So, quick trip to the video card land, and again, my jaw falls to ground as I didn't see any more Radeon 7500 AIW's. Errr, wtf I think. Then my friend wanders over and says "Why'd you guys take those cards away in such a rush, along with the tag?"
Ok, once I heard that, let the dogs of war out. Thats it, manager tried to trick me....har har. So, away I went, blabbing on how they are liable for putting out the right product and sales tag on the shelf. Manager kept his story, said, wrong product.... I could care less, I would have left peacefully, but since they pulled those cards off the shelf and the price card, and replaced it, I was going for the win.
What I didnt understand was how they didn't notice this all day. I was there at around 930pm, near closing. They had all day, all night to stock the shelf properly and get proper price tag, but oh well...
After 30 minutes of negoiations, I got the card for $129.99, and was told not to come back to the store again....oh well
No I will not scan the sales invoice, this is a one time luck only. Yes, I know this was childish. But, somehow, I felt ripped off on the $130 gf4 ti4600 deal, needed some retribution. Best buy will work with you once you prove yourself well, or back up the line of the store, near closing.
