I have been looking for a massage chair for quite some time now. So much so, that i know the model numbers by heart.
I found the chair i want listed in an ad from an electronic/furniture store. The picture that is shown is the Ijoy300. I go into the store and ask them to honor the price and he quickly writes something down on the price tag and says that the price is wrong, but there was no retraction on the ad nor anything on the tag at the time i came in saying i wanted that one.
They are trying to cover thier mistake by saying there is no model number listed on the ad and i should not go by the illustrations. They only show model numbers for electronics they said.
Here is what i believe i have on them
1) it is an electronic. (its a massage chair!!)
2) bait and switch scheme (get me into the store for that chair and now i gotta pay $200 for the one they have advertised)
3) the floor salesman said i was arguing a mute point...then why the need to file for a retraction for that ad?wierd
Additional Details
I wrote it wrong...the ad shows it for $599, but the in store price says $799. The guy quicky writes something on the tag when i alerted him to this and walked away from me.
I believe it is a bait and switch scheme to try to get people into the store because of such a cheap price for the very nice looking chair listed and when u get in there....the not so nice ones are 599 and the one i want is 799. Trying to get me into the store to buy the more expensive one!!??
Also..they say they only give model numbers for electronics. This is an electronic. It has a REMOTE!!!! People buy it for the massage machine inside!!
Come on folks...tell me i have something.
They also hung up with me on the phone.
Also...they said i was arguing a mute point, then why put out a retraction and then write on the tag.."advertised wrong in ad" after i alerted them!

So...they could put a $1,000 massage chair in the paper under a $599 price to get u into the store and then tell me i cant get it for 1000?
