"Preview" (????) today. Low prices on slightly dated electronics equipment (e.g. Denon AVR3300 $399, Sony STRDA 333 $333 - many others, most reduced by about 50% below street). Newspaper ads have coupons for another 5-10% depending on how late you go there (3PM or 6PM).

Yo

P.s.: Sorry if the initial information appeared incomplete. This message obviously is referring to the 6th AV Electronics chain which has about 6 outlets in NYC and NJ. They are like Jerkit Sh*tty or Worst Buy, only they quite often have "higher end" products. Can't vouch for them, but the newspaper ad looks promising, though not everything may be avaialable in all stores.

Actually, there's a store called 6th Ave Electronics. I think it's on 38th St. Maybe this is what he is talking about?

from the title, i think he/she meant "6th ave" the store.. not the street.
i didn't know there were any in NYC. i know there are some located in NJ.

6th Avenue Electronics is a chain. I know of at least two locations that are in New Jersey (Eatontown and Lawrenceville).

Never liked the place.

I RECOMMEND NOT BUYING ANY ELECTRONICS from small electronics stores in nyc. i have had many experiences with stores and they always try to shaft you. if you dont shop around online, you're gonna end up gettin screwed.

Another note. NEVER go to stores along touristy areas such as 42nd st times square. i was waiting for my friend there one day, and decided to take a look at the digital cameras. when i walked in, the guy was like "how can i help you?"
me: "id like to take a look at your digital cameras."
him: "ok, do you have money?"
me: "im interested in buying a camera, do you think i have money?"
him: "how much do you have?"
me: "why do you wanna know?"
him: "so i can show you cameras based on how much money you have."
me: "da fu*k!!??!?"
him: "can you show me your wallet?"
me: "hahahahahaha, how bout i show you my taser gun?"
him: "no wallet, no sale."
me: "fine, just be lucky i didnt shoot your a$$"

thats when i left. he sorta pissed me off, so i saw a nearby cop and told him what happened...ok i exaggerated a bit. i said that the sales rep was trying to steal my wallet and was practicing illegal sales tactics. haha, thats when he called 3 of his cop buddies and went to the store. i just watched from a distance as the manager tried to explain himself. hahahaha


here is my advice if u want to buy electronics. GO TO CHINATOWN. Canal St. in particular. Asian people are a lot more friendly and honest than that jewish man. if u wanna have some fun, its on 47th and broadway, right across from the tkts stand. but canal st is the way to go. ive scored many cheap items from there. for example...

walkmans (when they were still alive). i got the sony walkman with LCD remote control and lithium battery for $100 when it was selling in J&R for $200.
TI-83, TI85, TI89 graphing calculator. i bought many of these for my friends when we were taking calculus in high school. got em for $75, 80, and $90 respectively about 5 years ago. Staples was selling each of these for over $100.
my 27" Panasonic PIP TV. paid $250 for it.
tape recorders, batteries, blenders, toaster ovens, air conditioners, all got em there. i recently bought the kodak rechargeable NiMh batter kit (4AA batteries and a charger) for $15 when BestBuy was selling for $30. the batteries alone made up for all that.

my $.02

SmarTpants,

Your biggoted opinions is not worth $.02. Please take a week away from our forums to think about how you might be more considerate of your fellow members when you return.

SmarTpants-
I felt personally affronted and appalled by your comments. Yes, there are unscrupulous businessmen of all ethnicities out there, but your this forum is NOT a place to voice your personal bias and obvious bigotry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is the statement you guys are refferring to, he says that jewish man. Not to all jewish people in general. I don't think this is being a bigot at all.


People get too excited these days.
