  1. I'm sure this is a YMMV type of thing. With almost any "policy" in retail, you just need to find the right employee at the right time to get around a policy, and sometimes you find the wrong employee who won't let you use a standard policy.

    Of course, on BF everything is crazy, and that's just extra hassle. Plus, who wants to carry merchandise into a store on BF?

  2. Sometimes a retailer will ship out an upgraded an item if they run out of stock for something. That way, they can fill their orders without having to deal with angry customers. (To the contrary, they get customers who are thrilled.)

     

    So maybe they ran out of the 128MB and started shipping out the 256MB product as a replacement. I'm even more convinced of this now that I went to their website and saw that this item is "temporarily not available online." Plus, that's the only iBratz item available on their website. And since they were kind to you, be sure to give them business in the future :)

     

    I'm assuming you didn't have any rebates lined up for the item. If so, this could cause some problems for you.

     

    Of course, there's always the possibility that you'll end up getting the item you actually ordered. Shipping notices have been wrong before.

  3. Yes, here's how it works. Store X lets their employees pick over the doorbusters first. Thus, all resellable items like computers, plasmas, etc. are completely gone before actual customers arrive.

    Guess how the customers feel and react when they enter the store to find no doorbusters? Guess how many come back next year? Guess how many newspaper articles are written about the incidents?

     

    Nonetheless, I'm sure many employees take liberties with the BF deals. For instance, perhaps the store receives 12 instead of the minimum 10 and then the employees pass out 10 tickets and keep 2 to pass to their friends later?

  4. who is david blane ?

    David Blaine is an illusionist/magician.

     

    I first found out about him through his Street Magic video, which is really quite cool.

     

    Lately, however, he does these lame long-term magic tricks like freezing himself in a block of ice for however many days or standing on top of a huge pole for a week or whatever.

     

    Just go to YouTube and search "david blaine" to watch some stuff.
