I went to Gateway clearance sale and they had a 18" LCD for $197.

I told the manager that I will buy it and he took it to the front desk while I was looking at a DVD player on sale. Five minutes later a girl walked in and started lookign at the stuff. 5 minutes later another guy walked in ( I guess he was her boyfriend).

Anyway, she was looking at 18.1" LCD at the counter and started talking to her boyfriend about it. Two minutes later, one of the salesguy walked to the front counter and told the manager that the 18" LCD was already sold. Supposedly, He put a sticker on it that it is sold and someone took it off. The manager said he was sorry. I said it was alright.

I understood later that the salesguy was the friend of the girls boyfriend. They sat in a corner and started talking. I knew at that time that he sold it to the girl. I went to the Manager and told him about this whole deal. He talked to the salesguy and then assured me that it was not sold to that girl and it was sold to someone else.

I spent 30 minutes looking at other items and also waiting to see if they are going to get it or not. I left after that and was in the parking lot when I saw the girl and her boyfriend walkout with the LCD box. I went back in told the manager about it. He denied it and called another sales guy and asked him what she was taking in the box. The sales guy said 18" Flat Panel.

The manager said that he is sorry and he didnt know about this whole deal. I left sad and disgusted. I am super pissed that they lied to me on my face.

Should have demanded another one for same price or a rain check if they didn't have any in stock.

the manager seemed real nice and I am sure he did not have anything to do with it. I did not feel like bitching about it as they are losing their jobs anyway.

The store is closing and all of them will be laid off from 9th.

:(

Sounds like you got jobbed, Yogi... The Manager knew and was blowing you off...

Anyhow, they may have done you a favor - LCD screens aren't that great, just yet...
