Shopping On Line??

[PAT.P]

Hello All,

Have anyone brought HT equipment from an on line store? I'm thinking about purchasing a reciever & it's almost $200.00 cheaper on line.

Which on line store do you recommend? Any problem buying from on line stores?

The post above is totally wrong if you are interpreting it to mean that stores will match online prices. Repeat after me, no Store will match an online price. The minor exception is a store perhaps matching its own online price.

You can get an excellent receiver, new & sealed online from places like Amazon.com (their sellers not necessarily Amazon) all the prices are listed under the model number and going through Google and checking out various price comparisons as well as the stores feedback. I saved several hundred dollars even with shipping including buying my receivers. The main thing is, you'll have to know what specific brand and model to order from, I would not blindly ask an onsite site for their recommendation. Again, if a place does not have much feedback I wouldn't chance doing busines with them. Shipments have arrived believe it or not very fast.

Ebay used to be a great way to go but not necessarily so anymore as the sellers have gotten greedy with their prices and some of the bidders have no common sense (if the sellers friends aren't bidding up the prices in the first place). Never and I repeat never order anything over $50 from someone with less than 10 feedback and 90% positive feedback. Always carefully read what as being sold as alot of people are selling refurbished stuff and listing as brand new refurbished. The good news on Ebay is there are alot of good electronics type places that sell alot of excellent recently discontinued sealed stuff at great prices that you don't have to bid on. IE, you could have a 2003 JVC receiver that has now been deleted for the 2004 model, and there will be little difference but a huge drop in price.

Again go by your common sense and instinct.

No one is right and no one is wrong but at least give people a chance to give their thoughts without criticizing every word.

If I post something that turns out to not be true or misleading, I welcome people to correct me and I taken no offense from it & if I did the same to you, don't take it personally.

Most normal people choose to buy at the place where they get the cheapest price for the same quality merchandise. If you chose to want to spend extra money out of your own pocket to support the small businessman because obviously you have enough money to do so, that's your right but most people don't have that luxury.

In regards to matching prices, repeat after me, retail stores will not match online prices unless its possibly from their own web site.

As far as I'm concerned this proves the US is the stupidist nation around. I don't blame the rich for voting for Bush- if I was loaded I would have voted for him too. But the stupid morons who don't have health insurance, can't buy perscription drugs from Canada, don't want to die in Iraq, they obviously helped reelect this guy and as far as I'm concerned they
deserve to skrewed, they did it to themselves.

I'll tell you what. I'll be happy to start a web site for which I sell Plasma HD TV's for $100, etc., etc., and I'm sure the places in Ottawa will match those prices for you.
