How I wasted my Saturday Afternoon...

Well, I am a little pissed off now, now I am posting a rant to avoid the "Super Sale" thing that occur at local convention centers. I noticed this when an ad was running every day when I watched TV. It had electronics and such at extremely low prices and took place at my local convention centers that weekend.

 

Well, my family and I went there and got dissapointed. Firstly, I did not notice that you had to spend six bucks to enter. Secondly, their so called "electronics" (which had games, laptops, desktops, monitors) and "jewelry" were mostly fakes (hell, the Fossil watch case was unofficial, nothing but a glass case with a notepad paper saying "FOSSIL" on it). The electronics were mostly refurbs (example: They had a ghetto Compaq desktop from like... 1993, then there were things that were newer, but looked shoddy). The game collection sucked, any video game they had were almost the same price that you would find at EB or Gamestop. They advertised "cameras", but they had NONE.

 

Well, anyways, my parents had relations with the owner of the convention center and talked to them for a few minutes, said hello. Nice people, we talked to them about "Why would you host this!?" and such. The owner actually hated to rent this to the operator of this "Super Sale" thing. It was a giant gyp and one of the workers were outside, giving refunds for ticked off customers such as ourselves. We got a full refund and the owner of the convention center won't host these people again due to so many complaints.

 

Flagrant False Advertising! Just posting this so that you won't get swindled!

I've been to a few of those. Seldom did i pay though.

I'd get a bit loud: You mean, you want me to spend money just so i can spend more money? Nope, don't think so... next thing you know, someone was handing me free tickets...

pen might be mightier than the sword, but don't rule out the mouth...

These things SUCK! I went to one at the Florida State Fairgrounds and much like I imagined it had nothing as advertised just a bunch of low-rent dirt-mall crap vendors that buy 10-yr old closeouts. They are all the same. Don't waste your time.
