All the little shops around here are the same way. Theres one next to the bus stop thats sellng parts from the 90's (still in the box somehow) at a premium price, and they charge 75 dollars an hour to install on OS on your computer, and there signs says (avg os install time = 3hrs)

No joke, they have an original Pentium (With MMX!) box in their window, I think the price is 60 bucks.

During the 8800GT shortage I called and asked if they had any he had no idea what it was at first but then told me he could get me one for 300 dollars in a couple of days, I told them how best buy was selling them for $280 but they were currently out of stock because they were pretty popular.... Right then he had the nerve to up the price to 400 dollars. Just because I told him they were sold out and popular.
Erm WTF is he still doing in business? I am sorry but seeing that kinda crap annoys me no end, sure every business might have some old stock knocking about if they have been runing a long time. **** I know a place that still has a old AT mobo in the shop but he wouldnt sell it anyware near the price he baught it for, maybe a £1 at most if he even let on he still had it to the open public.

Take a photo next time your down there i want to see how crappy this shop is.

I posted the fro hat one a few months ago, lol.

And ya, they still r selling pentium D's around here, and if you spend 20 more dollars you can get a "free" copy of vista. This is best buy btw.

Oh, and about 5/6 years ago I was in 6th grade and i wanted a faster computer to play gta vice city. I went to best buys and the guy talked me into buying a 80 gb external hard drive to speed up my computer.

*sigh* one of my joys in life now is to spare people from the pain of being tricked out of your money over computer bs. I'll never forget how upset I was when I found out that the game wasn't going any smoother.

I later went online to some forum that I don't remember and they told me to get another stick of 512mb ram. And that actually helped a little bit.

Happy Independence day you rebels!

*We will be back shortly*...



Our Flag ship is ready to set sail, no seriously that's the Royal Navy flag ship. Still on the books as a ship of the line so technically the British navy is the last country in the western world still using sailing ships.
