nanapapa Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hi. My local WM is sitting on several WII systems to stockpile till Bf and after. Even though people ask they refuse to bring any out. Fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conj Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 how do you know this? are they the regular system or a special BF package? might be the BF add promises a minimum per store, and they have to meet that. I don't think it is unfair... nothing says a store has to sell things... but not a stunt they can pull often. It is definitely frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truexillusions Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I agree with conj. Frustrating, yes. But it's not really ''wrong.'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia39 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 they might be stockpiling for sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scanner420 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 How do you know they're sitting on them til BF?? Just wondering? As for the topic.....I agree that it sucks, but it the store has a certain quota to meet during their biggest sale time of the season, then there's really nothing that can be done about it unless you want to call corporate and complain.

Guest Metallion Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 it's completely fair, retailers are there for the purpose of making sales. They will be holding items that are in short supply and high demand to lure people into their stores. This is because they will not be able to afford to offer the huge sales of past years due to the economic situation. They have to have a hook to get people into their stores and this year it will be supply of high demand items instead of great sale prices.

Princessarky Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 this is one that confuses me is the wii I see ppl on line having trouble getting them and my little wm has several of them for 249 everyday are they really that hard to find?

childofsolitude Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 It's completely fair. I don't remember seeing any law that says that stores HAVE to sell anything to anyone. First of all, maybe they have a reason for it. Maybe they can make more profit by holding out until Black Friday rather than selling them now. Second, it's not extremely easy to get a hold of popular items like the Wii. How fair would it be for Walmart to advertise the Wii in their Black Friday ad only to have maybe a handful of Wiis in stock come Black Friday? If they're holding out until BF, I actually think they're smart for doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzbox Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Stores need to treat their customers fairly. If they've got them then they should sell them. They will quickly loose customer loyalty this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebirth Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 It's fair, what if they have a sale for that item and they sell it a few here and there days early. Come the day of the sale, they will have lower supply and won't meet the min. requirements as conj said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're not out in the open, they don't have to sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
