I was in a Naples, Florida Circuit City store earlier this afternoon (05/10/08) and what a poor experience I had when attempting to purchase a television, uncovering a scam I never knew about, but from what I understand has been ongoing for a while at Circuit City.
I researched a Magnavox 32 inch LCD TV on the Circuit City website, Model# 32MF337B, UPC# 609585126893 which was 599.99 on their website. BUT when I went to the store the same identical TV Model# 32MF337B, UPC# 609585126893 was $799.99 on their store shelf! I attempted to get them to price match a current price receipt I had from Wal Mart for the same TV for $ 399.00 minus the 10% they advertise with their BS "unbeatable price guarantee".
Shaun in the TV/Electronics department spoke to his direct manager and then stated " No, we cannot sell the TV for that price because we paid more then that for it." What a scam Circuit City has ongoing. 200 buck difference from website to shelf and they won't even honor their own "unbeatable price guarantee" program.
