Denvers.Killers said:I just got a email from the sales manger saying.
To: ***** ******,
We currently do not carry the 6800 series pny graphics card. It is a new item that should be arriving in our stores soon. If it gets in the store before the end of the advertisement it will be included in the 30% off price. It is not available to be sold at this time. If you have any further questions regarding the product feel free to contact me at gregory_groves@compusa.com.
Thank you,
Greg Groves
Retail Sales Manager
CompUSA 161 Aurora, Co
Jawadali said:Yes, an adveritsement it classified as an invitation to make an offer, and not an offer itself.
However, when we the customers make offers, CompUSA refuses to accept the offer (in my case, it is at any price).
It also refuses to honor it's 30% off, but since this item is a pre-pay/pre-order, there technically can't be any bait and switch (or rather it would be hard to prove).
Also, there were two reciepts posted in this thread.

SnakeIRye said:Woodland Hills gave me some crap about not being able to prepay for an item which isn't in the system(which I know is) and that the deal wasn't for 6800s(which I know was for all of them anyways) and the Burbank one just told me how they couldn't do it unless the card was in stock and pointed to the page where it said that it must be in stock. Which means a lot of people are getting away with murderor that the fine print was only meant for the phones on that page and I was hosed.
Jawadali said:On which page does it say the item has to be in-stock?
whatever the employee says has to go, u as a customer can't fight the offer especially if thats what it says in the official compusa book, they have absolutely nothing to gain by giving u that card for that price, for computer hardware especially i'm not so sure but i don't even think they make that much money off the cost of the sale (well thats the way it is for computer sales at least BB only makes a hundred off each computer) so if they eliminate a sale by 30% off the retail price, their profit must be lessened at least. Also if they do accept your pre-order for the card and give u receipt and don't offer u the card at a later date but refund your money, i still don't think u have a case they'll probably say well we ran out of cards which they'll be buying for u to sell to u at a lower price again cutting their profits. Granted i'm still gonna try this deal, what do u have to lose, nothing except your reputation as a SANE nerd.SnakeIRye said:Woodland Hills gave me some crap about not being able to prepay for an item which isn't in the system(which I know is) and that the deal wasn't for 6800s(which I know was for all of them anyways) and the Burbank one just told me how they couldn't do it unless the card was in stock and pointed to the page where it said that it must be in stock.

Jawadali said:Yeah, page 6 has no limitations/restrictions for the PNY 30% sale. Neither does the last page.
ForeverUnknown said:is it under the price policy? that's the only one that i see.
if it is, that shouldnt apply. that's for when they're trying to beat competitor prices. not their own

Stealth5325 said:They were MORE than helpful with me.
I walked right in and asked for the 6800U, and they told me it was A07, meaning that they will NEVER get stock on the cards. Thus, if they were to take my money, they could not guarantee me a card at all. They didn't want to risk it. I can, however, buy all the 6800GT's that I want, which is why I'm writing this post. Although I do not have the money to front for it, I would be more than willing to buy a card and ship it to someone for $20 plus shipping. that would come to roughly $330, assuming shipping is $10. I'll take non-credit card paypal as the payment, and it'll of course have to be before Saturday.
I'm more than willing to give my phone number, several email addresses, heatware's under Stealth5325, as is Ebay. You can call me all you want, trace my IP, send me mail, I'll give you 4 different email addresses. I'm not trying to screw anyone here, just want to help my [H]ard|Buddies. You guys make the call really, don't trust me and it's no skin off my back.
Just an offer.
They aren't doing anything more than slapping their sticker on at this point; they don't even make the cards.botreaper10 said:A few words of advice about pny. Every product i have ever gotten from them has been crap/died/ or failed quality control. I had the extreme heat problems with my 6800ultra due to them not installing all 4 heatsink screws around the core. I am still awaiting them to get more in stock so i can get a replacement. Just be carefull with them. I don't want anyone else to get burned like i have. Its really not worth it.
Yep.. everybody has referance boards right now... so there is no point in brand loyalty (unless one offers something another doesnt, etc)...sonyman said:They aren't doing anything more than slapping their sticker on at this point; they don't even make the cards.

I don't think so...as far as I know the mounting holes are completely different.Stealth5325 said:Hey will my MAZE4 fit on these cards? I can't for the life of me find out.

Correct.. you will need a new WB.. some are already selling with the proper adaptors to fit the 6800s though..sonyman said:I don't think so...as far as I know the mounting holes are completely different.

ForeverUnknown said:i have 2 pny cards and have no problems with them.
here's the fine print stuff. i underlined the part that mentions in store, but notice at the top it says "we'll beat any local retailer...".

Wich0 said:dude that only applies to their price matching policy. They are just saying that the competitor has to have it in stock in order for them to pricematch it. am I wrong?
