Phony Advertising

there is no guessing. Either it is or it isn't.

This isn't bait and switch. There is no switch. If a Fry's rep
contacted you and said "but we have item X for you, at a higher price"
that would be different.

When I am shopping for a particular item, and I can't buy it, I
usually go elsewhere looking for the same item. I don't switch to
some other item of the same kind.

At the bottom of the Fry's website is this disclaimer: "Some online
offers are subject to prior sale and may not be available." This
makes it sound like their web pages are not updated quickly enough to
not advertise items that may have run out of stock - understandable
for an online electronics retailer.

So, how long have you worked for Frys?

Fry's along with many other discount sites has fire sales all the
time. Hot prices for a limited number of items.

If your quick enough you get it, if not then your out of luck.

Alot of websites like Frys operate by liquidating companies then
selling off the product. They never know how much of an item they
will have and therefore cant promise you will get it.

Buy.com and overstock.com are the same way.
