Just make sure you can put your hands on whatever it is your buying first... if you find something worth buying... and use a credit card to be still safer. one you know you can contest if things fall apart.
I bought into the trade in & up program they had for loudspakers some years ago. I aimed for the BW N802s and began with a much lower end BW speaker set. Trading in and up for about 3 years, and on the verge of getting the 802s, I dropped in to see if they had the right color in stock or should I place my order earlier? they had lost the BW line altogether! Consequently, no mo' BW for me.
I also saw the story on the HD calibration which I had initially been interested in having done on my FPJ by Best Buys Geek Squad. After a few calls to Best Buy, and no return call confirmation I gave up on it. Actually, I'm glad I did knowing the general knowledge level of most of the BB employees.
I've asked numerous times about SACD for instance, trying to locate where their SACD discs are and only get questioning looks or a "What's SACD?". reply.
Two years ago just before Xmas I bought a TV for my Bedroom. While I was waiting for them to bring it up to the front to load it in the truck, they brought up the wrong TV 3 times! Each time it was a completely different brand or model TV! it took 2 hours, and a district manager ultimately to get me the right one. To their credit, they did further discount the set to me too for the inconvienence.
Finding qualified knowledgeable electronic people to deal with, and at affordable prices, is certainly a task. I've no problem paying a bit more for the straight scoop with these sorts however the increased allotment they ask for generally, isn't just a bit more... it's a lot more. it's understandable, although not justifiable... and that's the real shame of it. For them and us.
