I have been in this store several times. Purchased a couple of things. =
Not more than a few dollars. The most expensive thing I bought did not =
work and I took it back. Don't remember if I had to take credit or not. =
Don't like the attitude at this shop. Better places to spend your money =
that I TRUST, with allot friendlier staff. Just my two cents-)

Subject: [XCSSA] A fair warning
This is just a free warning to anybody who shops at PC Outlet formerly =
Discount Electronics.
=20
I don't know if anybody in either Satlug or XCSSA has encountered a =
problem with the in the past so I thought that I would warn anybody who =
has not been there=20
Here it is:
=20
PC Outlet
2206 N.W. Loop 410,
San Antonio, TX 78230.
Freephone: +1 210 348 7677=20
E-mail: sales@sa-pc.com
=20
=20
=20
=20
While I was being helped looking at a G3 I had my sons with me in the =
store, and my wife was doing all she could to manage them. One of my =
sons accidentally bumped into a shaky shelf with some merchandise =
sitting on it the MP4 player/ Camera. Now keep in mind that the package =
was intended to be hung on a peg not set on a shelf.
=20
Well to make a long story short I was told I need to purchase the Item =
since my 5 year old son allegedly knocked it off and my wife who did not =
see it fall picked it up and placed it onto a shelf. Other issues are =
when purchasing anything new or used there is a policy of NO refunds =
only exchange or store credit. I have never had a store require this on =
new products only used stuff. This is very understandably with the used =
but too me it is unacceptable on anything used. Basically I just want to =
warn anybody who goes into this store to watch yourself and any children =
or you to may wind up buying something you don't want. By the way this =
thing averages out at about 70 bucks tops on the internet and it looks =
like Pacificgeeks (after doing a Google search) is the only online =
retailer who carries it
