Used your tax return didn't you? Don't lie.

BTBuck1 · 03-04-2008, 03:38 AM

Excellent prices especially the DLP (that's below cost), i just bought similar equipment due to my ex taking my SXRD, Sony Receiver and BDPs300 when she moved out.

Don't worry she left behind a 46" 1080p LCD, Pioneer Receiver, ps3 & HDDVD player for me.

But In it's place I bought (for my living room)

HLT5076s $1171.99 (bby emp discount)
Onky 605 $395 (vanns.com)

and i'm gonna get the dmpbd50 later this year.

No. My wife got a new 2 karat diamond ring with the refund (big refund this year)! Why do you think I got to buy all of this stuff? My Birthday was 2/28, so I was able to justify that I NEEDED these new toys!

Best Bday in years!

Schrute Farms · 03-06-2008, 03:26 AM

Congrats man.

Schrute Farms · 03-08-2008, 12:22 AM

Here is a picture of the Onkyo box after FedEx delivered it. It works fine, but I was worried! I sent this pic to Vann's to show them how FedEx is treating their products.

I also got the Polk Audio R50s yesterday, and the Monster 3600 Powercenter. I received the Samsung HLT-5676 DLP today!!!

My b-day was March 1st. My wife didn't let me get any of that stuff. She said I could pick out a few blu rays. Then, she made me pick out new baby girl outfits for our unborn child as my gifts.

I guess being a poor dental student doesn't help.

ive seen entire container shipments of computer lcds and parts all over like an avalanche! that gouge doesnt surprise me.

katharsis · 03-08-2008, 12:45 AM

Damn!!
I always make the delivery guys wait when I open the package if it shows up like this. DHL has been the worst so far. Had 2 new Dell's coming to the office, both boxes damaged, one case had a pretty big ding on there. So I made this guy wait while I called them... last time I've seen him deliver stuff to the office!

I think some people at Fed Ex must be illiterate. Glad it's ok.

gvortex7 · 03-08-2008, 01:59 PM

It looks like a couple of Fedex delivery guys tried to play catch with your Onkyo receiver and one of them finally couldn't.

Unfortunately UPS is the same way. packages go through at least 3 different checkpoints and god only knows what the employees that break down the packages and sort them out do once it leaves the store etc. Im just glad it works

I'm just annoyed that Vann's hasn't contacted me with an apology. FedEx delivered it, but Vann's sold it to me and I expected some sort of apology
