About to buy HDTV...ckecking sellers and can not find TVCITY/TV here

[mogo]

Hi Folks,

I am starting the research and I have already been made aware of many of the scammers from this site. THANKS!!! One seller is not listed here (or I do not know the correct search words). It is TVCITY.TV. No listing good or bad. They are listed at http://www.nextag.com/TVCity.tv~3188...z1zmainz17-htm but I am not sure nextag is a real reviewer.

I am starting to realize there are scammer review sites saying good things about scammer sellers. TVCITY has slightly discounted prices but not rock bottom like the scammers.

So my question. Who is TVCITY.TV and does anyone know anthing about them or am I just not searching correctly here?

Thanks in advance for a great site.

Welcome to RR.
First off, not every company in the world is listed here.
Second, is this them?
http://www.tvcity.tv/index.aspx
If so then this appears to be a home business. I say that because the address comes back to a individual and;

Nice Buys Incorporated
718 S Pascack Rd
Spring Valley, NY 10977-7108
(845) 735-5555

Even tho the website gives the address in Chestnut Ridge, NY the USPS says they are infact the same mailing address.

I could find no other info for this company. If you decide to use them then use a credit card only (NOT a Debit Card) and post back how it went.
You can then review them here if you wish.

nomaxim, Thanks for the excellent information. Based on ratings and comments from tis site, I plan to make my purchase from B&H Photo.

I basically started at the lowerst price and worked my way up the price until I hit a seller that had very positive ratings. I find this site very helpful in prventing me from making a mistake.

I will be sure to add my comments when the deal in complete.

Thanks again.

We used this company and felt like it was a good deal. Called and confirmed he had the TV we wanted and it would ship in 2-3 days, that was 12/6/2006. It arrived on 1/9/2007 as he did not have it in stock. In the 30 days we waited the price also dropped over $1500.00 but he offered no refund or credit. Best to buy and pick it up directly as most of these are nothing but resellers that have no inventory and drop ship to the curb.

Got ripped off for $200 for shipping. This store is a scam. Uses rigged fake shop and price search (ShopAndPrice.com) to trick buyers into sale (from one of their own competing sites: TVCITY.TV, EVERYTHING4ELECTRONICS.COM, SCREENSANDSTANDS.COM, TVBUYS.TV, BIGDEALTV.COM, 1800NICEBUYS.COM and ELECTRONICEBUYS.COM, etc.) then overcharges for shipping. Grey market (repacked) merchandise. Horrible customer service. I found out the web page was misleading and canceled the order. Also found many other buyers with same experience forming class action suit. Buyer Beware!!

Also, the phone number in the registration for two of these websites, +49.2233946317, is in Germany.

I have not been able to find a BBB report on any of these either.

RR actually has three of these listed,
resellerratings.com/store/Everything_4_Electronics
resellerratings.com/store/TV_City
resellerratings.com/store/Electronic_Ebuys

Thanks for the tip on the DBA's.

In my experience, it's always best to contact an authorized dealer first. Most dealers will probably be willing to work with you. Hope this helps!
