Paying Retail Sucks........

DriveEuro · Nov 1, 2002, 07:38 PM

So I needed to buy a slot fan for my vid card so I bought one online for like $10. But it was gonna take about 1 week to get delivered....So I ran out to BestBuy and bought the exact same (same brand and model and packaging unopened) fan for $22. So now I've used the BestBuy slot fan for about a week and just recieved my eBay purchased one. So now I'm gonna run to BestBuy and return it. Think about that....$10 difference. And on top of that BestBuy will give me my money back and will resell that fan to a sap that isn't smart enough to buy it online. D@mn, I'm never EVER gonna pay retail again.

All that for a measly TEN FOKKING DOLLARS?

My GOD!, I could make that much for a FART!

You are so poor that if I rang your doorbell, you'd say "DING!"

Fine you can pay full price for something when I can buy it online for a good amount less.
