We?

I research before buying anything.

I don't necessarily go to the cheapest shop though, I choose the cheapest best service shop, unless it doesn't matter - like if a warranty will be elsewhere rather than the retailer or is used and doesn't have one.

They are good at advertising stuff at super low prices and not have any of it to sell.

Gets you in the door and that's what they want...

834982 2009-11-30 05:56:00 A lot of the time their sale price is still the most expensive in town, In fact I'm yet to see a good price on a single item in HN.

But hey, No Deposit, No payments for a year, Sign up sign up, You too can own this TV you have no chance in hell of affording, Look, Its a great price, it must be, It has a sign on it saying GREAT PRICE.

834983 2009-11-30 06:58:00 99% of the time Harveys will match the better price. Just tell them who has it and they'll either check online or phone them and then match it. --Wolf-- (128)
