The update is just a caveat emptor
Beware Circuit City closeout deals: No refunds on broken gear
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original post:
My doctor was out today looking for a wireless all in one printer, he went to Best Buy, Sams Club, Walmart and finally popped into Circuit City [To get to the Circuit City info, Skip down to the Yellow Text below]
During this time he called me for help five or six times as there were virtually no clerks or salesmen in each of the stores computer departments. When he finally got help, they were not helpful and pretty rude. ( I could hear them on his phone) I told him finally to just go home and I'll order one and bring it to his house, or he could come here once it's shipped to pick it up. You see he just got in a divorse and the spouse took everything, including the Brighthouse cable modem power cord and the wireless router. She also tool the computer. But taking the cable modem's power cord is just mean.
He's a good guy and I feld bad for him, so I had a P4 Dell HTPC sitting around gathering dust so I gave that to him until he gets something better. But the problem hooking it up was not having the cable modem power cord lol. I also gave him a wireless router but I could not finish the job until he got a power cord at Brighthouse. Apparently he's getting that today.
Anyway before he gave up and had me order a wireless printer, I told him to take his Corvette and make a bee line to Circuit City and just look since their closing down soon. On the shelf was a Lexmark $299 wireless all in one printer for $79. I told him to buy it. At the register the cashier said if you wait one day, it'll be 10% less. But if he bought it today they would not pricematch their own price. I told him ignore her and buy it, it's $200 off lol
So anyway, tomorrow, I'll be going to Circuit City to see the deep discount liquidation sale, maybe I'll buy that printer myself, for $7.99 cents less than he paid.
