Fry's Electronics is like the local palengke ng mga electronics and gadgets, magulo at walang systema, during big holiday season like Black Friday, una-unahan yan, then halos once every month, pinapalitan ang mga floor models, then yun ang mga ibinebenta ng halos 25% lang ng original price, they tend to post everything online,
pero dahil floor model, hindi allowed ang shipping, and you have to pick it up sa store na kung saan ito nakadisplay. So basically, pag nakita mo online, then kahit nai-file mo na ang order online, walang kasiguraduhan yan na makukuha mo, coz nakadisplay yan panigurado sa floor.
They also sell such items as brand new and yea, regular priced na ang mga yun, madalas silang magbagsak ng prices sa mga speakers, subwoofers and receivers, but again, una-unahan yan, kaya kadalasan they monitor the website sa mga deals ng clearance and open boxes nila.
The Yamaha RX-A2040 na nakuha ko ay ganyan ang nangyari, was able to file the order, pero the next day I received a cancellation email from them, and a call saying na hindi nila makita ang unit, either nabenta na raw or mali ang inventory. Eh sabi ko I was already on the way to pick it up, so I had to talk to the manager, he then referred me to their HT manager, the good thing was, that HT manager was the one who install the unit in one of their showroom. So inabutan kong umaandar at natest ko sya sa floor. I would not trust their inventory online, sadyang magulo talaga, but, if you get really lucky, you will definitely get an awesome deal...
Cheers
