I agree that most of the "supid questions" are pretty stupid. But I beg to differ on "What are you trying to buy?" My husband and I were around numbers 80-90 on line at Circuit City. We arrived about 1:00 am. We came specifically to purchase the Sony 40" LCD TV at $1199- I called on Wed night to find out how many of these TV's were available at this price. I was told the price is only available between 5-11 am, and that there were 25 available at this location. (Found out after getting into store that there were 0 in the store but price would be honored anyway..) Anyway the manager would not tell me on the phone that rain checks were available, as long as TV was paid for. So going on the assumption that you could only get this price if the TV was in the store, I certainly didn't want to stand around in the cold all night for nothing. So my husband asked the people in front of us from the front of the store to where we were standing to find out how many people were planning to purchase this TV. No one was irritated. People were very friendly, sharing with each other what they were in line for, to be curtious so that people wouldn't be wasting their time.

After camping out all night at Circuit City to get the Sony 40" LCD TV, the store said they would honor the price ($1199) but the TV will be "Special Delivery" in 4 or 5 days, due to stock at store being sold out. I found this odd, because I called up late Wed. night and the manager said there were about 25 sets at the store site. Well, I had checked all the people in front of the line, and NONE of them were there for this Sony tv. So how did 25 of them get sold out Wed. night, when the cheapest price was only between 5 and 11 am??? Will I actually receive my TV? Or do you think their will be a bait and switch routine pulled on me, after endless calls on whether or not my TV will actually make it to the store? What do you experienced people out their think???
