they are open to Public Thursdays and fridays....i would recommend very nice service and at times good products in inventory   |       so... no manufacturer's warranty. what does the in store warranty cover? just asking because i had a $1200 LCD screen die on me before and if i hadn't had the manufacturer's warranty to cover the replacement i would have been screwed    
damn i'm hoping this stuff didn't fall off the back of a delivery truck or everything is hot and i'm financing terrorism by buying this stuff        |

			Emailed them regarding warranties for the TV's. This what Shannon Chan (assuming its the Chinese girl you guys are talking about) said.    Quote:    
			
				Alll of our tvs come with 3 months full warranty.  And extended 1 yr warranty is available. We currently are not selling tvs on ebay. .   
We accept cash, debit and credit card at 3% service fee. We are open to the public every Thursday and Friday from 9am-6pm.
