Default Anyone have a hookup at Best Buy, Circuit City,etc

Does anyone have any type of hook at any electronic stores? I'm looking to buy a new big screen tv here soon. My 80 inch Mitsubishi took a crap and isn't fixable.

I buy my electronics at onecall.com. their prices are much better than anything I can find locally. I bought a sony xbr lcd last year, and even with shipping (no tax) I paid over a $1k less than what it'd cost locally.

I should also point out that if you call them, you'll get a lower price than what they show on their website.

damn never heard of that before...hahahah but interesting idea!

So how do you buy back the same TV you returned?

Better be a plasma since moving TV's around is no fun!


Gotta admit it's a creative idea!

Try Video Only. They negotiate prices. I got a 42" flatpanel HDTV MSRP 2999.00 New for 1399.00..
Just play hard ball with them. They will beat any price from the other chains. Granted they don't carry everything....
I think theres one in San Mateo, Dublin, S.F, Hayward...etc.
.02cents...
