Unless they recently changed their system.
BB employees make commission on warranty!

by recently i mean within a year.. so i might be out dated...
and if i am, sorry.
but one year ago, i know they were making commish on warranty. because Milan the Broadway Store Manager (now works at head office) told me that all BB employees get commish on warranty.
And i'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about.

^^^ and Monster Crapables

^ Monster cables aren't crap, they're just overpriced. There's a difference. They actually make decent products.

amazing eh?

all happened at futureshop on robson n granville

They really only gave you less then 100 bucks off their cost..... I would not call that a good deal.....

Mugen EvOlutioN 09-18-2009 07:41 AM

hotjoint 09-18-2009 10:23 AM
interesting, I may have to bitch in the future :)

twitchyzero 09-18-2009 10:23 AM
how are the mark-ups for blu-rays?
games?

skyxx 09-18-2009 02:19 PM
^ Shit. They basically don't make any money from Movies, Music and Games. At most, couple dollars. Sometimes the retail price is cheaper than the staff purchase.

Mugen EvOlutioN 09-18-2009 02:39 PM

how about TVs & appliances like fridge & stove?

ajax 09-18-2009 04:31 PM
My buddy who works at bb got a pack of ipod cases for $0.50. They sold for over $30.

skyxx 09-18-2009 05:14 PM
^Most likely a pricing error. It's not uncommon for FS/BBY to have pricing errors ala staff purchase. If you want really cheap prices on products, buy Bestbuy/Futureshop brands. Rocketfish, Dynex, etc etc.

I thought that Monster was bad until I saw the price some guy paid ($700) for speaker cables, that was was selling for $250. wtf. it's fucking wire, when will people get it. That said Monster cables can be super cheap and look pretty good if you get then in say the surplus section at Princess Auto

TRDood 09-18-2009 09:49 PM
wow. i never knew about this.

no wonder when my gf bought her camera and an extra battery+case, they gave her a 2 year warranty for free.

damn it, i just got my laptop from sonystyle.ca!!!!!!!!!!!!

but i guess none of the sonystyle retail stores will budge for anything.

wnderinguy 09-18-2009 09:51 PM
Damn...bought my netbook last month and wasn't aware of this.:mad:

skyxx 09-18-2009 10:19 PM
I guess getting the sales person fired is a good thing to get a deal. haha It's technically against the company's rules to give discounts. It will show up on his sale and he'll eventually get fired. Don't expect this to happen to commonly. Either you buy this product when it's on sale or when you pricematch.

!Aznboi128 09-18-2009 10:33 PM
^ exactly

generally it's only clearance/ open box items where you can get discounts as deep as that. Tho most of the time discounts don't happen at all

wnderinguy 09-18-2009 10:56 PM
I would think the discount would come out of the Sellers commission ,so it wouldn't matter to the Company.

Considering the amount of retarded lowballers on RS who are the cheapest fucks in the world, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they went out of their way to get like 2 dollars off and have the sales associate fired in turn.

That's ultimately their decision. It's up to them not the buyer's fault...unless a gun was pointed to his/her face.
