| 933.1 | They're not getting any of my $$$ | CASEE::CLARK | Ward Clark | Thu Oct 22 1987 07:26 | 15 |
| A couple of years ago, I visited Rock'n'Mania on two occasions (about a
month apart). Both times I left the shop empty handed.
The first time I asked if I could return a used CD if it were defective
and the sales clerk muttered something to the effect that "You bought
it - you own it. Don't bother bringing it back."
I don't recall what happened the second time. Both times I had the
impression that they were in the business of making money (period), not
serving their customers.
I realize that this was a long time ago, but I know that *I* am never
going back there.

| Is this man named "Jeep" by any chance? He sounds a lot like the
guy who took over the management of Discount Records in Harvard
Square back in 1970-71.

Surprising... I was in Rock 'n Mania a few months ago and I was
really impressed with their CD selection; lots of Genesis/PG,
Bob Dylan, Lennon, Joni Mitchell, Pink Floyd, and some great imports.
Mostl were 13.99 (Strawbs is 15.99). We picked up an
import of T. Rex's Slider that had 7 extra tracks on it (about 50
minutes of music). It was only 14.99. When we played it it
mistracked badly towards the end. My wife brought it back the next
day and they replaced it with no hassle at all!
Maybe the owner is sleazy, but their prices and selection (CD wise)
are wuite good. I'll go back.

| I agree with the previous perceptions stated. I also don't like having to
ask someone to look at a given CD for purchase. In my opinion, their sales
approach is stupid because it causes me to purchase less, I don't like the
aggravation/feeling of distrust. I prefer places where I can browse and
view at my convenience picking up those I'm interested in as I'm going.

Reminds me of the last time I bought some sheet music. On the
back of the sheet music on the bottom it said DO NOT PAY MORE THAN
$1.50 FOR THIS SHEET MUSIC, yet the sheet music was priced at $2.00.
I pointed it out to clerk and he said "If you want it, you'll have
to pay the two bucks". I wrote to the publisher.
Acton music didn't used to mark the prices on their accessories.
I guess they charge whatever they feel like. One day a young clerk
asked *me* what the price was - I guessed about ten dollars too
low! Too bad!
