Also didn't end up with the Samsung TV, either.... the only one they had left was 'floor' stock and was not for sale

 

I dont' know about where you are, but if it is a floor model, and the only one left, the retailer will sell it. I should know, we do it all the time where I work. If the first person you ask says 'no', ask for the mgr. Preferably the store mgr. Rarely will they say no, if only because they know you will go elsewhere if they don't. And with the economy as it is, 'No' is not an option. I was once told no, and when push came to shove, I got what I wanted, and at a great price

Yeah, that is usually the case when it's a superceded model/discontinued line... but not always in some stores when it comes to a current line that's temporarily out of stock... like more are coming in and they need a demonstration model to take orders/laybys, etc.  Most often what happens here in Oz is that they will either order you in the item and sell it at the sale price, or they will sell you another brand with the same/similar features for the same price... meaning that you can be walking out of the store with a better, more expensive brand, as I have done many a time when push coming to shove was the better option,

I got what I wanted, and at a great price

Me too!  While I didn't get the Samsung that was on sale, I ended up with a Hisense with 24/7 phone support, in-home service and replacement for a $169 less, so I wasn't going to push for the Samsung when I had found a better deal with a 5 year extended warranty on a comparable item.

Furthermore, the Hisense has a couple of extra feature that particular Samsung model lacked... like a PC input so we can play PC games and surf the net on the big screen from the comfort of the sofa.  Couldn't have done that on the Samsung, so I'm pretty rapt with my alternative purchase.

I am 5'2"....does that make me just as dangerous as Loraina Bobbit????? *snicker*

 

starkers, glad you got a better deal. I do know of stores that do sell the display unit, even if it is just temp out of stock. Of course, most of the idiots...um...I mean, customers here, are a**holes the the nth degree. More so than other cities. Entitlement in a resort town. Go figure...lol

Wow, some particularly vicious gift givers here.  I just get the same thing ever year....hot tongue and cold shoulder.  At least no one ever gave me a cold sore, the gift that keeps on giving.
