Any one shoping in a Sears store has to be stupid

Monday, December 28th, 2009

I liked a little train at Sears and it was on sale before Christmas but I decided not to at that point but then the sales started and it went up from 24.95 to 39.95 and again I thought that that would be a bit much.

But then I visited the Sears website and guess what they have the same product on sale for 19.95.

So I went back to the store trying to get it for the online price but NO they would not pricematch there OWN website.

If I want this train then I have to order it through Catalog shopping or there website and the let them ship it to the store (where they have at least 12 in stock) to me would be just insane to waste so many resources that for me I decided not to order it from Sears.

And people I would advice you Never to buy something in the Sears stores because you have big changes that they will charge you 100% extra like they try with the little train.

If I really want this train then I decided to order it at the manufacturer who sells and ships it for less and then it just comes from Hong Kong.

Does anybody fall for this?
