1 edit | said by hottboiinnc:Tiger Direct? Are you speaking of the same company that actually keeps its customers rebates? if so who would want them in their town? I have had no problems with Tiger Direct in the 15+ years I have purchased stuff from them. As for the rebates I will not purchase anything from anybody that has a mail in rebate these are handled by third party companies that are indeed a rip-off. I only purchase stuff that is on sale. If you watch for it whatever you are interested will go on sale and most of the time it is cheaper then it would have been with the bogus mail in rebate. Here is an current example; a 1 TB Seagate 3.5" HD for 59.99 there is no mail in rebate. This is Seagate's version of the Western Digital Green drive and turns at 5900RPM to save energy.

When I was building my present computer I thought I had a problem with the motherboard, and CPU, turns out it was unclear instructions that came with the ASUS motherboard concerning a power input on the MoBo that didn't have the same plug on the power supply. The customer service people replaced the mother board without question. But what they did with the CPU is what made me a loyal customer. instead of sending a replacement CPU which as I recall was a AMD X2 64 3400 they credited my Visa account with the purchase price. They didn't tell me this and when I didn't receive the replacement I checked my account and found the refund. Then I discovered the reason. I called on a Friday, the following Monday AMD cut the price on the 64 X2 series almost in half. They must have known this. I was able to purchase a much faster CPU (5400) for half the price of the 3400 that originally came with the kit.
If I was a city manager and Tiger Direct wanted to build a distribution warehouse that might employ a couple of hundred of my fellow townspeople you bet.

| Trans... TD is a bit deceptive about those rebates that they offer, you have to pay a yearly fee to a third party to avail yourself the $$'s. They will (they, 3rd party) will place an auto deduct on your creditcard for membership in the so called "discount club" and hope that it will go un-noticed on your bank records.
It may be an old scam but it still works. (fool born every day and all of that kind of stuff) |

TIGER DIRECT TROLL!!! (body snatchers noise)
TIGER DIRECT TROLL!!!
So, 15years in business. Really? i think I saw one of their catalogs in 15 years and hardly a deal. And ANY catalog company that holds your rebates deserves to go to the wayside...
If I were a Vermonter, I'd rather have Tractor Supply located there, but why would I leave the warm south for a salt-belt, liberal, sandal-wearing, cold, state that doesn't have anything better than DSL (when it works)?
If you were a Vermont City Manager, I would have you removed from office, pension removed and audited every year.
Trust me, you ever BEEN to Vermont? Living in Wyoming, I don't think you would like it... |

Ya wvaparky I know about this membership scam, Didn't drink that Koolaid either. I have honestly never had any problems with Tiger Direct, or Newegg. Like any other online outfit you have to surf with your eyes open.
The point of my post is with such a system in place Vermont would have a strong selling point to attract business's. I remember a TV ad' of a couple of decades ago. This person brought his boss out to a isolated field apparently in the middle of no-where. His boss wanted to know why he was here this person pointed out they could build for something like 3 dollars a square foot there was a highway, and railroad close by for raw materials, and shipping, plus they could get fast internet to handle orders The Boss realizing what he had just been told started to jump up and down yelling 3 dollars a square foot, 3 dollars a square foot..... This could be Vermont. For that matter it could be Wyoming, or any other State smart enough to build such a system.
Wouldn't it be sweet to have Verizon, AT&T and other ISP's have to come hat in hand to ask a given state if they could please have some bandwidth on your system. I can dream can't I.

Even the rebates handled by TD various people have reported never to even see them. My know people that placed orders with TD and have hundreds out in those rebates. And that was 3+ years ago, never to hear again from TD again after complaining about them.
