Reminds me of the time some years ago when I purchased a $50 (or so)
Walkman from Circuit City. The sales person was a fairly young guy and he
was very pushy to get me the add-on extended warranty. I told him "no";
he kept on trying to pitch it to me. I told him "no", again, he
practically started crying, but he eventually got me what I wanted, a
walkman sans extended warranty.

What I would like to see is that all rebates are paid by
the store to the consumer at the point of sale. Then let
the store try to collect them. I bet we would see the
system change in a hurry when the consumer started getting
100% of the rebates rather the 5% or whatever it is today.

The problem with your idea is that people would then be able to
buy multiples of the same item for the after rebate price.
Rebates restrict people from buying more than one of the item at
the after-rebate price.

Thank you for making my point. The people who offer the rebates intend to
make things as difficult possible so that you will stop attempting to get
the rebate. They are, in that way, as bad or worse then the health
insurance people.

The best idea is to tell the retailer that he can stick his rebate where
the sun don't shine. I wanted to buy a computer system with athlon 2.4
Ghz, 1 gig mem, 300gb disk, with all the camera crap and vista and lots of
other stuff that was listed @ $469 and was $300 after rebate. They almost
suckered me into buying it. With the rebate it was one hellova deal. But
I have decided that I will not do any more rebates unless they are from
the retailer (in this case Office Depot). That way I have a shot at the
local level to do something nasty if I get really pissed.

I have much more valuable endeavors for my time than policing the rebate
people. So my contribution was to get it talked about (done). And to not
buy stuff that has a manufacturers rebate as part of the price. I will
simply do without, thank you.

Part of the reason is that big box stores pay their "associates" next to
nothing. So the $1 or $2 buck commission he would get for selling the
warranty is a significant part of his income.

Radio Shack has adopted a similar sales model. They pay the workers a
meager salary plus a commission so the only things they want to spend
time on are warranties and things like satellite dishes , cell phones
and large screen tvs. The hit the daily double even you go for the
warranty on the tv.

Circuit City more or less did this with their $229 PC bundle.
While not advertised as a 6 hour special, in reality it was
because they had very little stock and if you weren't there when
the store opened you didn't get it. Furthermore, as best I could
tell (and I checked a few times, starting at 4:30am on Friday
and several times on Thursday), it was never available for sale
on their website (it was listed there, but it said "purchase in
store"). Miraculously, when the sale went away after the website
was refreshed with new prices this morning, it was available for
ordering and home delivery. I'll be emailing CC about this prior
to my filing a complaint with the FTC. I doubt that CC will care
and don't have much hope for the FTC either, unless lots of
other people also complain. Best Buy had a similarly discounted
PC, but at least their ad said it was a doorbuster and I knew I
would not get that unless I showed up really early (which I did
not want to do).

At design time they obviously are.

But most clearly feel that that aint worth their time for manual coin counting.

And what's going to happen if their count is off? Will they
believe you over what their machine says (and how are they going
to get just your coins to check it)? I had a similar problem to
the other poster's. I bought 3 rolls of quarters from my bank
and the CS machine rang them up one quarter short. I never
thought to weigh them before dumping them in the machine to
check that they were the same, and I would expect my bank to
verify that they were correct before giving them to me. I
certainly trust them more than the CS machine. I wonder if they
ever make an error in the customer's favor?

Well, I doubt there'll be a big enough difference for me to worry
about it, but 'm going to do it anyway. Since I know my credit union
wouldn't rip me off, I'm want to see how my results compare with the
OPs.
Since my interest is now piqued, I'm going to call my account rep
tomorrow and ask how she'd handle such a dispute. I'll check back.

Or until he uses another addy to circumvent them, which he does often.

The one I got at Target is in a mostly red box with $10.00 in the upper
right corner. (If I said $9.99 before, looks like I was wrong.) I see no
brand on the package, but the warranty says KENLAN. The largest writing
on the package says, "300psi tire inflator & ball pump".
This thing has a gauge that so far appears somewhat accurate (reads high
by 2-3 PSI according to my best tire gauge). However, the scale is in 5
PSI incriments. I would use a separate gauge to be sure.
I am wary that this thing is worth what I paid for it and the separate
ball pump. I would not be surprised if it expires shortly after the 90
day warranty does, though it works for now.
I have 84 days to get a good bike pump, assuming I don't get to test the
warranty.

None of these sites exist save the top one. Forget about paul, he
wants to cut funding for israeal
by 600%. Israel enjoys a free trade agreement which was signed
before the canadian version and
is superior to it as well.
Paul is a self hating Jew in the mould of Hitler.

I have been counting my change recently when paying with cash, and I
noticed it is often less than what it should be. What are the best
strategies for not getting shortchanged? (i.e. exact change...
always
credit card)
