Avoid Circuit City
This is unbelievable. IMO, Avoid Circuit City at all costs after what they
just pulled on me. I went in on Monday to buy an HP Notebook model ZX5160. They were offering an additional $250 off and with a $100 rebate the price was $1199. I saw their model ZX5040US for $199 after rebates. That has a dedicated memory for the video and firewire. But it was out of stock and they didn't know if any were coming in. I specifically told the salesman that I'd be back Wednesday after researching the 2nd computer. I show up this afternoon and the $250 Circuit City Rebate is gone. I'm told it ended Sunday night. This almost came to blows as the sales manager first infers I didn't see it,then tells me the guy we found who helped me wasn't from the computer section so he can't be expected to know a rebate ends. I told him that wasn't my problem and that his refusal to honor the price was a "stupid decision." Then he tells me he isn't stupid and get ****ed off. I as ked him how he was ****ed off when I was getting screwed? He insisted he wasn't screwing me and that he was trying to work with me. I asked him how, by now tralking me into paying $1349 for the same computer I wanted to walk out the door with on Monday? I then had to tell him to listen carefully as I didn't say he was stupid. I said he was making a stupid managerial decision as I walked in the door with cash, his salesman [who suddenly wasn't a real salesman] spoke to me about the two different notebooks, and I said I'be be back to buy one Wednesday. I had to explain to him that if the sale ended Monday [now another saleman intervenes and tells me it ended Monday not Sunday] then the onus is on the salesman to try to sell me one Monday by telling me the rebate ended. He goes back into "I can't manufacture a store rebate." to which I told him he could do whatever he wanted to do and write up an explanation. His comment then was that at $1199 he was losing money. I asked how he was losing money if he was selling it at that price all last week! Avoid Circuit City. They remind me of a place called TOPS in NJ years ago. They just wanted to sell you a service contract and be out the door with you. Mike |
