I was walking into Wal-Mart this evening to cash my payroll check, 2 weeks before Christmas. It was all the money I had to get my family and I through the week. Three guys pulled up next to me and the driver hollered "Hey do you want a great deal on a home entertainment system?" I thought this is weird I should have kept walking. He parks his truck jumps out and 1 of his buddies jumps out and they open up the back of the truck.inside were probably a dozen boxes of brand new electronics. He said that his boss told him he had to get rid of them at any cost he could not go back with all that stuff still in his truck. He had a Fed-Ex envelope with the company name on it and told me he would write me a reciept and it came with a full 3yr warranty. He showed me on the box that the MSRP was $2,495. How can you help us out he stated. Can you give us a "fair" price? I told them I dont have a lot of money. The driver said how about $300. Thats only $100. A piece That was half my check. The passenger then started going off it was all a big act they got into a verbal argument and the driver told the passenger to go sit in the truck. The driver then told me he and his co-workers needed to sell these electronics tonight and had to get a hotel room and asked if I could do $280. I once again refused. He followed me into Wal-mart spouting off this huge spiel about how good of a deal this was blah-blah-blah. I thought about and offered him $230. He gladly accepted. Got home a little while later, got on the internet come to find out these electronics are made in China and only retail for $99. So as the story goes, DO NOT buy anything out of the back of a truck no matter how good of a deal it seems to be at the time.
