Called my local radio shack, out of stock.
Went to the one by my office, also out of stock.
So they tried to order one, out of stock.
So they called other local stores. Since sales are commission based, everybody else said. out of stock.
Called one of the stores that was supposed to have 2, but had said out of stock. Oh, they have one now. I told them I didn't want the demo, I wanted a new one. He said it wasn't, and would hold it for me. I called again that afternoon to verify again that it was a new one, not the demo because it was an 1 and a half round trip during rush hour to get it. He said it was new.
I got there and now he said it was opened and had been checked out once or twice. I said ok. thinking it was radio shack, if they had one (because they usually don't) opening it once or twice was ok. So I bought it anyway. I get it home and I'm looking at the box and notice it says it has a double warranty (two years) because "This item is a customer return or demo model".
WTF???????
So I called my office depot this morning, they said they can get it from the warehouse and can pricematch (only because I have a reciept that I already got it for a lower price). We'll have to see.
I hate radio shack more than any other electronics store, since they are on commission for everything they are worse than used car dealers. Jerks.
