Well problem with deals like that Steve, is they give employees first dibs......So 99% of the time they have only a couple for the customers.

I worked Circuit City (Laguna Niguel) when the Playstation 2 first came out. And we had customers lining up from 4am until the store opened at 9am. Several hundred, and you know how many PS2's we had the very first day of its launch? Seven. Employees were not allowed to purchase them at that time. And of course, management informed us we were not allowed to tell the customers we only had seven. They wanted them coming in to buy other things.

Haven't given up on the other deal just yet...my sister is going by the Staples up the road from you this afternoon, as they're supposed to be getting their stock shipped today.

Hey Los Angeles type people,

Test drive a Ford at Bob Wondries Ford and get a free $100 gas card!

Wish I could take them up on the offer.

I've never done one of those type of things...I wonder how hard they work you before handing over the card?

I would imagine it depends on the sales man I'd bet some salesmen know somepeople just want the gas and let you leave.

I gotta say, the salesman at the Staples on Atlantic Av in Long Beach did me right. My sister (bless her heart) called around today and found one at that store. The salesman she talked to set it aside for me to come by and pick up so I'm now viewing through a 23" LED backlit LCD. Now I can put off those new glasses for a little while longer.
