There was this cool desktop PC for about $450. A bunch of us were around it. One lady wanted to pick it up right then, and was told by the sales clerk that she would literally loose her job if she sold it before the 23rd. The customer got upset and I calmed her down, by explaining that it wasn't her or Best Buy it was Microsoft that was the culprit and that is one of many reasons people just go to Apple. So the sales clerk ,the customer and a half dozen others trotted over to the Apple dept. No one bit stating "the price of a Mac was ridiculous." When the lady returned to the computer we were all interested in I said "What is to stop you from paying for it advance and then picking it up on the 23rd." The swales clerk proceeded to do just that and so did the rest of the half dozen. I basically pre sold their inventory of that particular computer, so obviously I along with others would not be able to get it on the 23rd. (I'm in no hurry.) I made friends of those customers, but I doubt Best Buy will be feeling warm and fuzzy for me when all the pissed off customers come in for a computer that was pre sold by one customer, me. I better order mine online. I was at my local Best Buy last week. There was this cool desktop PC for about $450. A bunch of us were around it.
