Hey Glennster you are really going to love this one!! This is a long but a good story folks. Four years ago , NOPE it is now five years ago, my little 23 inch color TV went thuooop and the vertical drive went out. That means a picture that is about 1/2 inch tall. Very colorful 1/2 inch line and it wiggles! anyhow you can't get those fixed anymore cause of the six shops I knew of in SJ ALL of them are gone. So I said to my self , "Self I am 61 years old and I am going to buy what "I" want."!!!!!!! Do you get the story so far? I went into the kitchen drawer and pulled out a tape measure. Measured the living room wall and went to Best Buy. Well I bought the biggest damn thing I could hang on the wall. Big as I could go was a 55 inch flat screen LED set.
So far so good. That week Best buy was having a special package deal on a Samsung 3D TV and a Smart Blue Ray player and the special glasses are in the TV box. I bought the wall rack for like $70.oo bucks, the TV and player for a finance total of like $2,2oo dollars. I had my new TOY!!!
Good thing I was just a little slow to get everything hooked up. The TV I bought was the Samsung 7000 model. It is an awsume TV but I waited because the price of the wall mount was just toooo much. Went on flebay and found an even better one for $23.oo
NOW three days latter I mount the bracket to the studs in the wall at just a little above eye level so it is a very comfortable viewing level. The night before I had gone on the net and looked this TV up in reviews. Now this is a 55 inch LED, 240hz refresh rate, 3D movie capable set. Big time bucks. Thing is I have not even opened the box yet. Now back to the review.
All of them are just in love with the set but for one guy. He said he took his back because he found out about the 8000 model set. It has a better screen and systems so when the picture is black it is COAL INK BLACK! In TV talk that would be +1. SO now here is why I am telling such a long story.
Back at the store I walk up to the return counter and fill the girl in on why I want to bring it back AND yes they have the model 8000 in stock but it costs more. Yes I know and there is no problem. By the way I know the player is a package deal and I want to keep it and pay the difference so I will just pay for it. She says no problem. Well she starts typing on the terminal and I am shooting the breeze with another customer. Then another and another and.... she is still fooling with the computer. She calls over Sandy who is a VERY savy lady and she starts in typing. It is now getting to about 20 minutes of standing in line. Well the next thing is now the store manager is here. NOW my first TV is in the back already and the new 8000 TV is there on the shipping cart. All of a sudden the manager just throws his hands in the air and says in a pretty loud voice "JUST give it to him"!!!!
I am standing there like a Bambi in the headlights. All of this typing and waiting is the result of a screw up in the main computer of the Best Buy corporate chain.
I now have my 8000 TV on the cart, the player I want to pay for and keep is out in my Explorer. Sandy is pulling money out of the till under the computer terminal and hands it to me. "You are ready to go so see you next time you stop in" Ready folks cause here we go. The 8000 TV costs just a little more than the first one but it is like $20.oo difference. The program in the computer says the Blue Ray player dose not exist. It is part of a package deal and does not exist. Not only that, the store owes ME money! When all was said and done I got a fantastic TV, It is LED 240 refresh rate, got the special glasses, The Blue Ray player does not and never did exist, AND AND they had to pay me $150.oo for the Blue Ray player. Crazy as this sounds it is for real. SO Best Buy payed ME for the first two monthly payments on the set. Still an awsume TV. I walked out of the store almost in a half daze. Can anyone tops this nutty story?

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to ... [Read Article]
