This is being a rather good month for Buy.com .Only half way through May, and they already have one

Very Satisfied and only 19 Very Dissatisfied Ratings !

Gee, at this rate, it might actualy finish May with a 2 -to- 38 Very Satisfied v. Very Disatisfied Ratio.

See ResellerRatings to see what the raters have to say.

Foggaddabout the "Power Raters"

Notice they have have one Review that starts, "Th ey must have listened to people complaints". But when you look at the date, it was posted in 2002 !

Let's seeif this gives us the current reviews...Check off "review by Date" or such on Top.

DOOOG has spoken ! Again !

Nah! It takes you to "Premier Raters" or such, again.
BUT, Check Off the REVIEW BY DATE on top.

Today is The Day

Many look foreward to --and many fear...after all, who want's to get to a Bricks n' Morter Store at 7:00 in the hope of "catch" some advertised bargain that may be in limited stock. But --the B n, M's may give you "instant" gratification and often a quicker return if you are not happy.

Now Internet e_commerce Stores also may have limited stock on their "deals". BUT--
Through the wonder of Computers and the Web, can inform that they are Out of Stock when you go there to buy.

Now you may have noticed that this is a Buyer's Advisory from that venerable DOOOG.

Here's my advice:Going for the absolutely lowetr,lowest price can backfire --unless you "hit the double" of a good price from a good Seller.

Now part of my concept of a "Good Seller" is one that actually
has to sell what it is pitching you --or aat least tells you it is on "Back Order" and you are will to extend the wait, and maybe even take the chance that nothing will go "fooey" and the Reseller will be able to get it from the Wholeseller.

Reading Rating after Rating, this does not seem to be the case with one Web Reseller whose last Six Months Consumer Service rating is 0.98 out of 10.0.

That's right --has hit less than One out of Ten.

Ask yourself, "What happens if something goes wrong at any stage and you have to deal with what it calls "Costumer Service".

What might go wrong?

Well you might "buy" something and have your credit card 'frozen' or worse DEducted for the amount of a Purchase.

Also, there may be another Seller of the same item --perhaps one that asks for a few dollars more to Buy ,
BUT,

actually has the Item to sell !

So you are out both the Item, and now have to deal with a Rated Less-thanOne-out-of-Ten "Costumer Service" to get a Credit for the Debit placed on your Credit Card.

This is an EXAMPLE of such a Vender. But then, you should never take the word of one poster about I-net stores. So check out the Raters posts on ResellerRatings.
And Happy Buyings !

DOOOOG

With so many purchasing options, I will never do business with Buy.com again.
--comment on Resellers Ratings

Coudn't have said it better myself !

If you see something cheaper at Buy.com, bear in mind that they may be selling you something that they don't own.

Look for it with a reseller who only sells what they have.

I would buy from again, if they had the cheapest price.

This is what seems to get most people into trouble with this vender.
Spend another two bucks as an insurance policy.
Insurance against what?
having your credit card debited for something they may not even own.

bk564 is infamous around these parts
I bought my wife the Harmon Kardon Soundsticks from Buy.com for Mother's Day and the purchase could not have been smoother. Fast shipping, clear website, no problems at all. I only wish they had the TV I am looking at now. My experience with them was A+++++++++
