Had to work everyday straight through the holidays from since mid December until this week so I had a nice FAT check to play with.Coming home today was passing a video store and made up my mind then and there on a wim that I was gonna buy a DVD for my TV.Due to the high humidity here videos tend to go moldy quickly
so a DVD seemed to be an ideal replacement.I go into the shop and a dorky kid working there tells me he's got only 2 types of DVD players the least expensive one being only a single player and the more expensive($200 more)was a 5 disc variaty that played cds,DVDs and Video CDs but being sort of a tight wad I decided to buy the sigle player for $400 which I paid for long with getting 2 free movies of the 10 that he had in stock(LOL)so I got Braveheart and The Abyss.
When I got home and opened my bag a very broad smile came to my face when I saw Pioneer DV-C503 written on the box because the silly young bugger had packed in my bag the $600 DVD with all the features mentioned above and I have NO intention of going back there to point out his oversight!:)

Man, where the hell do you live? You shouldn't have to pay $600 for that DVD player, even $400 is a lot for that. Check out: http://electronics.search.shopping....n+and+VideoDVD+PlayersPioneer&Y=1&q=pioneer and compare prices.

But barring that, that's some pretty good luck you had there..

This is just one more example of how not honesty, but knowing when to keep your mouth shut, is the best policy...

I live in Bermuda and everything you get in the U.S. is usualy double price landed here.(electronic goods anyways)Hell everything here's expensive.
