So you've been posting the ads and never shopped there?
It's a 52 mile round trip drive for me. I've shopped there since it opened, was 10th in line during their Grand Opening - July 2004. Haven't shopped at the store since late Dec 2007/Jan 2008. Spent >$3000 over those years B&M and lately on line.

My first visit to a Fry's was at the Woodland Hills, CA store 1997 since I heard it was a computer builder's/electronic parts store. Been hooked ever since, same thing with the Micro Center at Westmont. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23584179 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 21:58:27 EDT Re: Does anyone still post Fry's ad online? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23583845 Jon : So you've been posting the ads and never shopped there?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23583845 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 20:40:25 EDT Re: Does anyone still post Fry's ad online? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23583738 SKORPI0 : Finally visited Fry's after 2 years.

I remember when Best Buy first started carrying Plasma TVs. it was a 50" Pioneer, very nice picture... of course it retailed for over $13k.
I remember that. I also seem yo remember people had a lot of problems with them dying after just a year or two. My mom worked with a bunch of people that spent 6 or 8k on them and they were all crapping out lol!

I always try and wait a while before I jump into any new tech. Let everyone else find the bugs. ;)

Going to Frys.com shows it's a Panasonic TC-P46U1.

Not sure what their criteria for "MAJOR NAME BRAND" is.

Major Brand

It's easy to identify the brand of TV that they are supposedly trying to keep anonymous. I think they do it on purpose to let people know what brands they are without actually mentioning the brand. But, I've never verified it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23314661 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:54:32 EDT Re: Does anyone still post Fry's ad online? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23313598 whymeintrouble : in my past experience it is usually top tier manufacturers. sony,panny,sharp,samsung,toshiba,etc etc. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23313598 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:33:38 EDT Re: Does anyone still post Fry's ad online? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23313160 Jon : Yeah I've heard of those rules in the past. Just wondering what their definition of "Major Name Brand" is. Do they consider Hyundai and Apex Major or are they talking Panasonic or Sharp. I'd be willing to bet it's probably not an aquos or something though.

Maybe I'll take a ride over there and see.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23313160 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:34:18 EDT Re: Does anyone still post Fry's ad online? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23312715 whymeintrouble : due to terms with the manufacturers it is possible they can't list the manufacturer if it is under a certain price criteria. think of it as a new twist on minimum advertised pricing. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23312715 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:18:49 EDT Re: Does anyone still post Fry's ad online? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23311031 Jon : In their ads, When looking at the LCD TVs, I always see one with a great price that says "MAJOR NAME BRAND" but doesn't list the brand.

What does that mean, exactly? Are they refurbed Sonys or Sharps or something? Or are they new but maybe not as "Major" a name brand as they claim?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23311031 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:13:18 EDT Re: Does anyone still post Fry's ad online? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23304422 insomniac : The link to your posts in the other forum has been under "External Links" (upper left on the main topic listing) on this board for a couple years now. I definitely appreciate your efforts; I'm sure it takes a lot of time. As long as we have the link here, I don't think you need to go to all the work of posting them in two places.

Thanks!

Look for my Fridays post (as eshawn) in the link given above by whymeintrouble. Used to post here years ago but was not sure if people where still interested. Haven't visited Fry's in almost 2 years. If there is a good deal, I usually order online to save on time and gas money, it's a 52 mile round trip for me.
