Want but can't get Yamaha 663 for free

[andy sullivan]

I can't get anyone from Audioholics to respond to me. I e-mailed on 3-7 asking about pricing on the Yamaha 663. I was answered quickly and told they could sell it to me for $450 with coupon including a 3yr warranty and free shipping and they would throw in 3 HDMI cables. They asked what length I needed. I responded that I needed 6ft cables and used "reply" to send the information. I also asked what I needed to do next as far as ordering and getting conformation regarding the offered terms. After no response. I re-sent on 3-8 and 3-9 and 3-10. I contacted, via the provided "contact page" early this morning and again early this afternoon. No response. I must say that being a long time reader of Audioholics and member of avsforum, I am very upset. I want to spend my money here but it doesn't look like they care.

Maybe they should give you 10% more off at this point

Ha, that's a great idea, but they would have to contact me first. I decided to give them until 10AM tomorrow and then I will order from J&R, actually for less money. Go figure. I wonder if they read this forum.

Less money is a good enough reason to buy from jr and not to buy from audioholics. I wonder if they do read this forum?

Apparently not since I still haven't heard from them yet. I even sent my phone number. I'll bet if you go high enough in the company you'll find somebody that gives a s---.

Try to PM the Store Admin.
Go to the deals section to find a post from him, click on his name and choose the PM option.

Heck if I could get myself a 663 with 3 HDMI cables for that price, I'd buy it too

Haggling our store admins to the point where there are no margins left is not something they can always offer. I suggest you purchase elswhere if you can get that good of a deal.

First of all, it would be good to get the whole story out.

You first emailed the Help Desk on Wednesday March 5th stating that the other store had pre-orders for the Yamaha receiver at $399, which they didn't according to the website.

You then sent two more emails (asking no real questions) and got responses on the 5th.

Two on the 6th, admitting they indeed do not sell at that price except for some unlisted (and unauthorized) AVS special. You asked no questions.

Two more on the 7th simply stating that if we'll match the price to call you. No further questions. We courteously respond that not only will we give you the 10% off, but will throw in a free HDMI cable and reminding you that have a free 3-year warranty. Basically $10 more than the pother store all-told with warranty.

Three more emails on the 8th basically whining about why we don't simply do price-matching (which we never stated was a policy), and indicating you could care less about the warranty, even after the Store admin says we may be able to throw in 3 cables depending on the length.

Finally, two more emails appear on the 9th (A SUNDAY) indicating that you'd like the deal with 3 cables.

And so, when you don't get a response Monday (remember, you left it as "Call me if you can do this") you come here and lay out this story about how you simply sent a few emails and got no responses.

Nice. I changed the thread title to a more accurate one.
