I stood in line at the BB in Pinehurst, NC 3 years ago for the eMachine desktop for $199. Got the ticket but couldn't decide whether I really wanted it or not. About 11:30AM, I finally made up my mind to get it. I flag down a salesperson to get it for me, when he gives me that deer caught in the headlights look. The guy goes back to get it but comes to me empty handed.....sold out! I told him I have a ticket and I want the computer; so we're off to see a manager. The manager was very nice and gave me a slightly better computer for the same price, except when I get to the register, there is a $100 instant rebate on it and a $50 MIR. So, a new computer for $49!!
