I was refused a sale today - Off-topic

Walked into the three store wanting to buy the new htc 8x. They offered it on contract, but I already have a three contract, so wanted to buy the payg version (advertised in the shop and online at £349.99) The sales associate seemed so happy, so he took me towards the back to complete the sale
I waited for about 10 minutes. During this time he repeatedly tried to sell me a contract, but I explained to him that since I already had a three contract, I didn't need another one
After another 5 minutes, he told me that unfortunately he wouldn't be able to sell me the phone, as its a new phone and the manager only wants new phones to be sold with contracts
I didn't kick up a fuss as he was a nice guy and actually seemed quite disappointed to have to give me the bad news. I ordered the phone off Amazon when I got home
Can the manager do that? When they're clearly advertising the phone in their shop (and all other three shops, and online) as being available on payg for £349.99?

Was it a official retailer or was it a "subsidiary of O2" or something like that?

Officially retailer, 'three' is another network we have in the uk, just like O2. In fact I think three have the largest 3G network in the uk

They must have a quota of contracts to fill. So they didnt want to let a phone go. They lost out on some money from you.

Selling SIM & CID Unlocked ATT Tilt w/extras

Comes with Seidio slim rubberized case and 6 GB Micro SD. Phone is about 6 months old. There is a small scratch on the top left of the phone (hence the case).
Currently I have L26_KaiserDiamond_V9 flashed on the phone w HardSPL 3.28, but will flash the ROM of your choice.
Opera 9.5 and TomTom 6 and 7 are installed. Have many other apps available to install too, so if you are looking for something pre installed let me know.
If you are interested or have questions, send me a PM here or email me: svnalvn[at]wi.rr.com. Looking for around $350/400 US obo.
Does it come with a candle or a lint roller? I hear that is the fashion these days.
New iPhone available on Friday and a lot of Tilt users jumping on the bandwagon. Anyone else notice all the Tilt's for sale lately?
No.
There are 2 that I see, which happens from time to time.

You might want to bump on over to ebay.com
No offense meant to the OP, but given the bad blood we've had lately, people are VERY skeptical buying from the boards. Especially from someone who has a single number of posts.
You'd be better off selling on eBay.
here is the tilt, with extras.. You want to buy some Jimmy? I Make you real good deal!

It was Target. It was probably a mistake on their end, where they were getting rid of older models but didn't want them to go that low. They're already out of stock though.

We will either get the PS3s, or get coupons for something.
I ordered one last night, but I heard this morning they were cancelling all orders due to the misprint. It was worth a shot!
Yeah, it was Target. They tend to mess up like this frequently, lol. A month ago I was able to buy a $50 Playstation card for $18 because they messed up.

We are contacting you regarding your order #002-7491487-2297842 from the Target store at Amazon.com.

We sincerely regret this inconvenience.

Hilarious! At least you tried
I was with a friend waiting at Wal-Mart one time when they printed a great deal on the PS3. Turns out it was a misprint on details of a game/movie combo. We didn't think it was a big deal, but a restless mother that was waiting before us wouldn't let it go so we got a bit of a bonus, too!
Fear not, Amazon! Disclaimer-man is here to save the day!!
From Target.com:
We cannot confirm the price of an item until your order enters the shipping process nor will we charge your credit card until your order enters the shipping process.
Please note that your Order Acknowledgment means that your order request has been received; it does not mean that your order has been shipped or that the price of an item has been confirmed.
Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items on our Web site may be mispriced. As part of our shipping procedures, we verify price before an item is shipped out.
Sorry people, but you never stood a chance of getting that.

@bord1er. I usually wouldn't waste my time with you, but read the op. This post was in no way meant to be political. I was in the marines and spent a good deal of time overseas but this has nothing to do with what one thinks about those events and that should be clear, as someone pretty much already posted. However, you've certainly shown your cards, haven't you.

Also, don't give that troll the time of day. He's just trying to get a thrill from being an arse and being insensitive.
Don't respond to it because it will just keep bringing attention to it.
I'm sure his comment will be gone soon enough anyway.

unless it goes thru. Considering most of our phones etc are made abroad...
Besides, isnt this what some game companies are trying to put a stop to in regards to Gamestop etc reselling used games?
Wow, scaremonger much.......
Bulk buying and reselling to make huge profits = bad.
Selling your old crap = not an issue.
Both this thread and that article are bad and you should feel bad.

As there is no accepted law that forbids you I do not see why not, this case is because the person made 1.2 Million dollars profit and of course someone would want a piece of that cake I seriously doubt that someone would go after you fro 200$ of electronic that has parts in it from the entire globe. I would say the guy with the 1.2M could have spent a little bit more on a lawyer

I know.
This is a bad article and shame on the OP for posting it without checking something like this out. He/She is like the person that automatically forwards outrageous/inflammatory emails without checking them out.
There is a small amount of truth to the article though. This court ruling would only apply to copyrighted materials that were manufactured outside of the US AND the manufacturer did not give consent for the product to be shipped to, and sold in the US. Only after those conditions were met, then the mfg would then have to object to the second sale. This probably doesn't affect 99.9% of the goods you buy and already own.
ex. You buy something made overseas from Wal-Mart or the Verizon store or AT&T store.. This court case has no effect on that.

Post when your Note 7 has shipped!

T mobile has a history of shipping out their pre-orders early. So let's see who gets shipping confirmation first.

It's already 8 pages long because of mostly pre-order discussions. Hopefully he thread you are referring to will end up being mostly about shipping only and not pre-orders. I personally like the simple it has "shipped" thread. Other than the clutter of pre-order discussion, I personally don't care where the "shipped" thread is because I actually enjoy reading all of the post throughout.
Can't wait for my new toy to ship!!!

come on now think about what you just said of course its only pre-order cuz thats all it is and once shipping starts you will see only shipping. the point is that a thread is already started and all this does it clutter up an already cluttered xda. People have to try and understand that thats all. We already ask more redundant questions in here than anywhere else on the web.... LOL
