I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I hate to say it, but BB has the cheapest prices on certain models when you look into RAM, processors, etc.
So I look online, but they don't frickin take the computers no longer available off of the list! You can compare models and check out if it's 'not in stores', but if you don't look carefully you don't know it's not available before you do all that crap. I spent time looking at what stores might have had it before I saw little red text on the page saying 'no LONGER available'. Rat bastards. I hate that place. For tech geeks they sure can't update a website for $#!%!!

If it tells you up front on the site, I don't see the reason to gripe. Granted, they could take it off the site as you suggest. Perhaps they are hoping or waiting to see if they can get more inventory, however, and have a company policy not to remove things from the site until they get final word they will not be getting any more.
Either way, you said it yourself, it tells you up front in red lettering they are out. Is that really reason for hate?

Why aren't you waiting until Cyber Monday for an online laptop deal?

Like Big Worm says: 'There's principalities!'
You get excited about a product, compare notes and specs on their site and others, and there's a big NEW by the product info, and you're able to add it to your cart, but when you click on a store to get it shipped to, it says 'No longer available'. Not 'sold out' or even taken off of the site, just like POOF, you know? I see it as rude. I guess other people don't feel the same but it's like a big tease.

Over here both CompUSA and Circuit City went out of business. For brand name electronics it is pretty much Best Buy or nothing. LOL.

best buy is a waste of space. it was good in the early days when they actually focused on pc's and electronics, now it's just a broken out sears appliance and electronics section with high prices.
compusa used to be good to but i hated that most of their sales were mail in rebates. i never bothered with circuit city. microcenter is the only place left to shop other than online at this point for me.

Does anyone have 6th Ave Electronics by them?
Seriously, part of the sales pitch is "And for 50 bucks I'll drop it in the garbage can for you out back...no refunds of course." That is the shadiest place Ive ever been in. |
