Darkling Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: Wow Unbelievable. I used to sell software to the Pawn Shop industry and the rules and regulations that these mom & pop stores have is absolutely incredible, this Billion dollar company comes into this business and basically thumbs their noses at the law and no one does anything. If this happened in a Pawn shop they would be shut down for dealing in stolen property, plus have to pay a huge fine. I know, because I've seen it happen.
Eclipse Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 87 bucks isn't much compared to winning a customers loyalty. Especially considering the circumstances involved this behavior is unacceptable.
Ben Somerset Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 They'll be generous enough to sell the stuff that guy stole back to her for what they bought it off him for? They may qualify for a little bit more than a Hall of Shame. More like Hall of Money-grubbing retards. I mean come, on, with a multi-billion dollar company you can spend a measly 87 bucks for some good PR.
Wolferz Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Hmmm, I guess I need to add another company full of greedy Rah Rah Retards to my boycott list. I have some pitchforks and plenty of torches, anyone have a rope? It might be time to forget the legal system and revert to good old fashioned vigilante mob justice.Anyone want to place a wager on how fast the swat team takes us out?
Darkling Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 At least give her $87.00 worth of Gift Certificates, so it doesn't cost them as much.
Kalshion Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 You're forgetting the TAR and FEATHERs there Wolferz Glad I stopped dealing with EB awhile back, I knew something was going to happen when there upper management went through a few changes (according to a worker at the EB here at the Meadows Mall) Well, time to start buying my games at Bestbuy and Amazon.com
Marvin Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 This makes absolutely no sense. Does this mean a car dealer can buy and sell stolen vehicles? Or, if EBGames "bought" the Brooklyn Bridge, they could sell it back to New York for twice what they paid?
Epsilon 5 Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 A friend of mine got more than luck than her .. a few years ago his 800$ bike was stolen, and as we were riding along the road we came across a pawn shop with a bike rack in front, and there was HIS bike. He called the police, he checked the serial numbers and it really was his .. The guy was selling the bike for 150$ and my friend had to the pay the 50$ the shop owner paid to the thief. Then before leaving the shop owner said to my friend "If you see any other stolen items in my shop, make sure you tell me!"
JCMan Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 I KNEW IT!!! For the past month I've had this really bad feeling about EB. Like they were crooked, dirty, AND cheap (No, I mean "CROOKED""DIRTY"and"CHEAP"). This proves it. I just hope all the other EB stores are not as dirty as this one. But then again...... --Edited because of incorrect sentence form-- I'm not fond of the one in town, and at the first sight of screwin me again im outta there. I've been watching them verry closely, and they've lost alot of my faith in them..... They even lost my pre-order for UC! It wasn't even in their computer backups! I had to pull the recipt on them. On top of it all, they said that it wasn't in when I called that day(It was sitting on the shelf right BESIDE the MANAGER's BACK DOOR!!! They didn't even bother going to the shelf to look! "O, lets look at my stuped lazy computer to see if it's in instead of walking over to the shelf even though I've checked the computer 3 times allready!!!!! It's as lazy as I am!") So I was so mad (Other crap happened the day before with them) I went down there, walked over to the shelf, picked it up because it was in "PLAIN SIGHT" (How in God's name could you miss a brightly colored box that looks like that when its RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU? Some people...... ), Put it on the counter, and said some....uhhhh....stuff..... If they bought Illegal items (Say, goods someone stole from me), then sold it, THEN wanted to charge me ALOT more for what they bought it for......I would take a legal action then and there! This world is just so rediculous..... O yea, Wolferz, I have plenty of rope......heh heh heh......
LostInSpace Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Okay, from this day foward Electronics Boutique shall be now known as Electronics Bandits and you don't even need to change the initials EB.
Soback Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 All I gota say is, don't fume over this, vote with your MONEY. Think it's unfair, don't ever ever shop there again, go out of your way if you have to, but make it a principle of never buying or dealing with them again. Money is the only sure way to influence.
