Dark, it would appear that Airgas got you a win this month. I went in to get a fill today. Brought my $1.30 invoice as always. There was a different guy at the desk (Rich, which Matt actually talked to be before). He went and filled the dewar right up. Then comes over, takes my card and brings me an invoice without even looking at the one I brought it. Well, needless to say, I'm sure not paying $2.65 per liter. I asked him why the price changed when I have 4 invoices with $1.30 (from that exact store). He said that it's impossible to override the price unless I have an account. So I asked when that policy went into effect... Over a year ago. To which I asked why I was able to get $1.30 on all my other fills, to which he had no real answer. I asked for my container back, and promptly left. :mad:

Some guys are just ***** I get mine filled for $32 and change on a 50L before it was 35L then guy told me hell hook me up if I get a larger dewar hell charge me the same so I got a 50L in a few weeks off eBay :)
 
I got a $1.30 invoice from another local place (half hour drive each way), and then brought it to that store (which is 5 minutes away). I have been back 4 times and never had an issue with a "cash sale" for $1.30 per liter. I even asked if he would honor the price from the very store we were in, by the way, and he said "Oh I don't know why Dale gave you that price." I have multiple invoices from that store with a different salesperson that overrode the "impossible" so it's not just dale. In fact, there is one old guy who works there, real jerk this guy is, and he was the one who OK'd the original $1.30 invoice.

Lots of submissions this month, let me know if I missed/messed anything up.

This isn't HWbot so everything is done manually :( but on the good side this isn't HWbot :)

EDIT: Chance the month is almost done, better get your sandbag in soon :chair:

Chance - That blows! Surely NOT the way I want to win! I really had figured I'd end up second again. Neither of my chips are as good as yours. I don't get what the deal is with Airgas. My impression is they just don't want to deal with the little stuff. I'll refrain from ranting here though, since we already have a place for that. I would have done the same....good for you.
 
i wanted to get higher score.. but damn My C5FZ losts his Bios during benching for event :D
8150 @ 7Ghz Aquamark :D
 
I will be benching tomorrow. I got to Airgas too late this afternoon. :( But I have an account set up (did that yesterday), and even the old guy was polite this afternoon!
 
I have not benched AM3 since this new wrapper crap, and I didn't have the necessary file for HWbot submission, but I do have this!

I have a post-it on my monitor to remind me to save the file, because I've forgot it on more than one occasion.

Nice run, Chance!

Now if I could figure out why my W7 scores are crap.....
