Waste of Time
on April 16, 2009
Posted by: laxwho

I am in the process of finishing my basement. I went to BB and spoke to somebody there and they were very helpful. Gave me lots of ideas and options. They suggested I have the Geek Squad come out and really design something specific for my space. Since I get the $99 back when I buy, I think at least $500 worth of equip, which I'll do, I thought it sounded like a great idea. What a waste of time. (He really wasn't here too long.) He came in and asked what I wanted. I told him surround sound projection tv etc... Asked what my budget was. I told him I wanted something good but it didn't need to be top of the line. He then started typing on his laptop. Basically I got a spread sheet that listed top of the line equipt. ($1700 receiver, $3500 projector, etc...) Total over $13,000 for equiptment. I told him that was probably a lot more than I needed and he said it was just a starting point and I could work back from there. No information about the products. Why they are reccommened or alternatives. Where I could save money where I should send more. I will end up going back to the store talking with the person there who was very helpful. Obviously, expeirences will be different depending on who comes out to your house.
What's great about it: you get your money back when you do buy stuff at BB
What's not so great: Didn't really tell me anything
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
