Do you ever talk to the sales people at a store where they make only commission. We offer more service and product knoweledge than the big box boys ever did. If you’re elderly parents buy a TV from a huge chain and can’t figure out how to operate it in a week, call and try to get a hold of someone to talk you through it. Our sales people frequently go out to see our customers before of after hours to help them at no charge. I can’t tell you how many times a shopper has called my store to say ” can you tell me how to connect my system I just purchaed at B— B–? I can’t get anyone on the phone there to help me “. I have many people walk in the do and say they know they might pay a few dollars more to shop in my store rather than the big box stores, ( usually we are the same price ) but they know the service will be far better. I suggest you do a little more research my friend. My time and service is worth something

The customer who is just browsing, because there wife is in another department. They are there to pass time because they have so much to waste. Even though there intensions are good, they end up getting in everyoneÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s way. The chance of them really buying something is about 10%. They waste everyoneÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s time while there wasting there own.

Not ALL sales persons are hell bent on what makes them the most amount of money. Some actually DO lnow their products and make a sincere attempt to make the best recommendation for the customer. It is as much an art as a science. (For someone who has never ‘sold” anything, they thin it is “easy”.

A true professional will recommend what in their professional experience and determining what the customer’s needs are will make a suitable recommendation which may change the value proposition. The key is to find the right salesperson.

If you go into a MCDonald’s and offer less than the going price for Big Mac please tell me that they’ll allow you to “haggle” over the price.

Cheesh. Everyone deserves to make a living. Plus, Video as a category characteristically has a very low profit margin ANYWAY!

All you sales people mad because people shop for the best price and “waste your time,” do you go to your local auto dealership and pay sticker price? I don’t either.

dschiavone: I don’t need installation. I don’t need setup of a HDTV or “surround”. I’ll be unique and do it myself.

Processor HDMI out -> cable in -> HDMI HDTV slot. Repeat for processor to source.
Speaker out to speaker terminal. + red / – black.

Now, if you own what I have, you couldn’t set it up. Lexicon MC-12 Balanced, Sony BDP-5000, DVDO VP50Pro, Fujitsu Plasma 1080i with DVI input, 9 channels of amplification using 4-seperate amps. 4-way Snell Type “A” Reference system with two non powered 18″ subs, dipole, rear, center left and right speakers. Now dial in the correct delay for the various speaker-to-sitting locations, set to 75db using a sound pressure meter for all speakers.

Ah, now that’s a system and I bet you have no idea who the following manufacturers are:
Halcro
mbl
Snell
Spectral
Lexicon
DVDO
Wadia
Bryston
Transparent
Cardas

What the box stores sell doesn’t need very talented folks to put it together, so stop making it sound so “valuable”. It’s not rocket science.

Keith and those like him are the complete jerks that people who work retail just love dealing with who come in thinking they’re entitled just because they’re buying something. As if they don’t expect to make money doing whatever it is they do but god forbid a retail person is treated with respect. I’m glad I’m done working retail because anyone who has faith in humanity’s intelligence or common decency should spend a couple weeks at a clothing or electronics store or in food service. The customer is always right is the biggest joke in the world.

DO Buy Extended Wattanty. Experience with 3 sucking Sony TVS has cost me thousands of dollars without the Extended Warranty. Sony’s service sucks even under warranty. I have learned my lesson at a high price. Don’t buy Sony and get the Extended Warranty on anything you invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in. Stock Market would have been better for me and it has been a big lost for a lot of people.

Ive found shopping online will get you just as good, if not better prices than haggling with incompetent sales people at big box retailers. White glove delivery is brilliant too. im sticking to the internet.

Ultimate Electronics has a pretty good sales pitch going on now..they will beat any local advertised price from Best Buy and Circuit City. They’re suppose to check their prices everyday! The catch is though if something is out of stock they don’t have to honor it. Happened to me last week!
