Adrianna TanDynamic pricing is such a scam. I was at Best Buy looking at something and in 10 min it jumped $200. lol
At the shop they haven’t gone fully dynamic price tags so there was still the physical price tag to refer to. Online, the price had changed and you wouldn’t know it. Anyway, I am sitting here waiting for a manager to decide if he will honor a physical price tag.
I hope everyone who works on data analysis for dynamic pricing for anything gets bed bugs.
I mean I don’t really necessarily want or need this thing but
Now I’m invested
I want to see what happens if a customer insists on the physical sticker price.
lol they tried to tell me that I had to wait an hour for a GM to come back and honor the printed price
I was like yeah I can wait I have lots of time
I sat down and just stared at them
10 min later they said fine you can have the printed price
Best Buy is a scam
They also try to sell you a Best Buy credit card for a $20 discount. Retail is so fucked in this country
Anyway, this is how I ended up with an open box ROG Ally X
Now I can play Cyberpunk on the train (I’m going on several long train rides) to bemoan this dystopia
They were trying to get me to ‘upgrade’ to the full price box ‘coz you never know what’s wrong with open box’ but their own open box sticker said ‘excellent condition’
I think sometimes men in consumer electronics think they can scam me on anything to do with computers and devices? It’s very confusing for everyone. Yes I know what RAM and SSD is!
I’ve never bought a car. But I imagine it’s a similar experience
ClickyMcTicker@skinnylatte We included our tire warranty subscription because you’ll need it. I got three nails in my tires on my way to work just this week! We also went ahead and included the windshield warranty subscription. This one is really important to have because there are rocks on the road and they can chip your windshield. It costs money to get that fixed. We also included our extended drivetrain warranty. If there’s an issue with the drivetrain that isn’t covered under the manufacturer warranty, it’s going to be really expensive to fix and you won’t have a car till then. That’s why we included the loaner plan.
Your dealer addons will come out to the same monthly price as the entire car if you don’t put your foot down. You’ll also be spending several hours just waiting and/or skimming through a binder of paperwork. It’s far worse than buying electronics IMO, even for men who don’t have to endure the mansplaining you would.
epilonious@ClickyMcTicker @skinnylatte I bought a car through Carvana in February and then got rid of the broke down busted car through Peddle.
Did I maybe pay more money than if I went to haggle at a dealer and get less money than if I tried to trade in? Probably. Did I not have to interact with a human beyond the Kind Lady who was dropping my car off and the Kind Man who was picking up my other car, both of whom were just concerned that the paperwork was in order and matched what I had uploaded? Yep.
