[Rant] No More chances Buy.com I freaking hate you.

I purchased two Plasmas from Panasonic and to get ready I was shopping for mounts. I find a nice omni mount via pricegrabber to buy.com. I was a little leary since I had 3 bad experiences in the past. So the price was for 299.99, great. I add it to my cart and it reflects the price. I try to find a smaller one for the 42 inch plasma. Can't find the one I want. Then I proceed to check out. I get a nice note that the price has changed to 200 dollars MORE WTF!

Ridiculous. I tried again still the same notice. So I empty my cart, search for it, on their site, still 299, add it to my cart, same note, price raised to 499. I go through pricegrabber again, still 299 and add to cart try to check out, same thing 499. Screw that. I am never,ever shopping at buy.com.

And before anyone asks, it was a price directly from BUY.com not one of their resellers.

Well I look on the bright side I didn't get it and then get the dreaded, "pricing error"

I was able to add it more time then get a notice of price change..

I never knew those mounts were that expensive.

Oh yeah, but then again I liken it to Tripods and DSLRs. Would you mount you 2k television on a 90 dollar mount.

Just gotta wonder what those things are made out of to be so expensive.

Buy.com is a drop ship company. They don't have inventory. They are just the middle man.

If you don't believe me call and ask them.

I have had my own bad experiences with Buy.com

They can either be sweat or bitter.
