Before Circuit City stores closed down they used to do some amazing clearance sales. Unfortunately, either the employees or someone they knew got anything and everything worth something. One time I was going to go there a couple days early and buy the games I was interested in due to the clearance lists always going up early, then go back and return them the week of the sale and rebuy them at the cheaper price. They had all the clearance games on a cart, so I took a bunch I was interested in, went to the counter, they said they weren't able to sell those. I asked why not and they said thtey were holding them for someone to purchase. When I took it to the store manager that they were holding items that were going to be clearanced out for someone else to sell, or for them to sell, I got brushed off and still didn't get to purchase the items. Sale or not, I never stepped in Circuit City again and later on they went bankrupt. It's like this in most stores around where I live. Resellers who pull tactics like this are douchebags. |
Wow, that is quite ridiculous. I've experienced something being "held" for someone before as well. You would think the least they could do is put it behind the counter or out of sight so you won't be tempted to want it.
However, there are a load of places I could buy a Wii U on sale in the area I live. Do you happen to live around/in Orlando? I think I could find somewhere to buy a 150$ Wii U in this area...
