I have a sandwich food prep table, it doesn't keep cold enough, as well it builds up ice weekly. There are two sides only, one side blows cool air the other side where it builds ice. Anybody know the solution/ or have experience where the problem is or what has to be replaced??? I already tried cleaning the coils Thanks
Posted via RS Mobile

Don't have any experience with a sandwich prep table but when I was at a small retail store it would get quite hot during the summer. Because it was hot we would turn down the thermostat, as a result, the A/C pipes froze. It seems counter-intuitive but we ended up turning up the thermostat to an acceptable level (although the store was still warm, but bearable) and the pipes never froze again. So, try turning UP the thermostat a bit and see if that stops the ice buildup.

Was about to start a new thread, but realized that most RS members don't live or work in the Lower Fraser Valley. Anyway, Hwy 1 is closed in both directions between Mt. Lehman Road exit and 264th exit.

I was heading into Abbotsford and heard on traffic radio that the highway was closed due to an ultralight crashing into power lines at or near the freeway. Never seen so many cars on Interprovincial........ not since the pope came to Abbotsford. Bradner and Mt. Lehman has probably not seen this much action in a while. Good thing I know the backroads in that area. Took me 10 minutes longer than usual. It's amazing how people are like Lemmings....... most went Fraser Highway, since that's the only other route they know of.

Freeway will be closed till noon... estimate.

I drove a black 85GT Fiero. Was slow as hell back then, but I still got it out to the line and ran the hell out of her every weekend. Got busted twice. 1st time got away with a stern warning, 2nd time cost me $1200 bucks. As to the video, just do a right click and save file to your computer. I don't think it is uploaded anyplace else. When the video came out, it was in the heart of us racing and could have put many of us on the ICBC watch list. However now that so much time has gone by, I think its fine to have it out there. LOL, did anyone else get that letter from ICBC. "That they have reviewed your driving record and that you should be cautious with your driving or risk suspension" Too Funny. Granted for all the crap we did, many of us should be in jail, and if the media is to be believed non of us should be alive right now. I can't count the amount of 200kph runs down Trans Canada at 200kph plus from 264 to 232 and back to 200th street. What I really miss even more than the racing, was the Parade of cars in this HUGE long line of 100+ cars all going down 96th together onto the freeway and going to whatever racing spot. Tilbury, or that place in Coquitlam, even did Richmond one night and another night, we met up with the Chilliwack guys and raced out by Pick A Part. Man it was a Blast back then.

@MG LOL, yes I remember BCSR and Gripex. I almost got kicked off, because I was copying the private racers section over to the other group of us guys that were not on the private racers area. Grip let it slide because I vouched for the people I was posting it to. I still talk to Russ aka White Vette every now and again, and bumped into PackRatt a few years ago.

If you have a transponder key, I can see it costing $40 as you'd also need to program the transponder. Most new keys can also be cut by code as well which would probably be the most accurate since you're not making a cut based on a worn key.

CaptFiero

11-21-2013, 07:06 AM

I don't know about imports, but with domestic Chevy/Pontiac I was able to go to the dealer and they looked up my 25 year old Pontiac Fiero Key Code and cut me a key on the spot for 10 bucks. This was for my 88GT and my 87GT Fiero's. I have also removed the door locks from another car and had them Re-Key the locks for different keys. As for you guys with issues with Chipped Keys. It might be cheaper for you to get a bypass module so you no longer need chipped keys. A lot of the Fiero guys take engines from newer cars that had keys with chips in them, got a module that hooks to the ECM to bypass the chips. Most car alarm install places will have the modules for setting up aftermarket remote start systems, so the car can be started without the key even needing to be there. FYI any "good" car thief will carry one of these with him, so if he really wants to steal your car, he'll know before hand what make and model you have, and carry the appropriate module to bypass your chip, and any stoner looking for a "joyride" will assume you have a chip in your car, and will move on to an easier car to steal anyway. So really there is no reason not to bypass it.

Long Rant about car alarms, read on only if you want to hear about car alarms and anti theft stuff.

In my opinion, a good remote start/keyless entry alarm with paging and engine disable is the best bet. So long as the engine disable portion of the system is hidden someplace other than under the dash. The way mine works, if you bypass my alarm or remove the alarm, the car won't start. The ignition and ECM power are cut way back in the harness. Sure my car COULD get stolen, but it would take the thief hours of testing wires to get it running and by that time the siren would have gone off and myself or one of my neighbors would have heard it and called me.

I know having tinted windows when going for your road test is not allowed but has anyone actually brought their vehicle in and the examiner said no, it's not safe? I have a friend who wants to trade cars for the day because his vehicle has tinted windows and his check engine light is on

:suspicious:

I did my Class 5 test in my lowered, tinted MK2 GTI. There were no issues about "legality" of the tint, nor the ride height (admittedly I had jacked up the coilovers to make is a little higher lol). But considering a lot of cars come stock with tinted glass, I'm pretty sure that your friend was feeding you a line of BS.

The CEL, though... that isn't allowed for a drivers test.

I'm sure I've used those words at one time or another, but haven't in quite some time. Am I getting soft in my old age? Probably, but wouldn't it be nice if we all tried very hard to avoid using words like those. Azzhole, douchebag, bitch, bastard, fucktard, etc. would be better choices. In fact, we shouldn't be calling each other names, anyway.

I think RS can be better than other forums out there. /preach

We hear stories of violence and wonder what kind of world this is becoming. Little things like this adds up - it's where it starts. When people stop caring about each other, then there's really little left. It leads to a totally "Fuck You!" world.

I started the "Random Acts of Kindness" thread on RS in hopes of getting people to be more kind to each other, or at least think about it.

Instead, we have people attacking each other and calling each other names and shit. I guess I'll just sit back and watch you guys just deal with it.

I thought RS was a good community, perhaps not so much........

/rant

the world is at the most peaceful time in history; this isnt conjecture but an empirical fact.

violence and hatred will always exist in this world because of economic scarcity and human emotions

in the end theyre just words; the mentality and attitude is is conveyed through the words...in other words do you blame the knife, or the person who is stabbing you with it?

Lol finally fucking over! And it turned out pretty damn good if I don't say so myself, as you can see from the pics I started up by just butting them back together and puting a scab across the lower portion, then added an extra leg on the cut side that was not supported by the actual leg. Then went inside and joined back up 4-5 of the structural backings with little scab pieces, tossed in backing down the back part so I can pull the cloth taught again and stable it to the backing

Then since I did such an amazing job cutting the lower fabric I started with the actual seating covering stapled a nice clean lower edge, added the little frill piece after that, pulled it into place tacked it back onto the backing that outlines the springs and Voila!

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge Tuesday ordered a Sriracha hot sauce plant in Irwindale to partially shut down in response to smell complaints from nearby residents.
Judge Robert H. O'Brien ruled in favor of the city and ordered sauce maker Huy Fong Foods to cease any kind of operations that could be causing the odors and make immediate changes that would help mitigate them.
The injunction does not order the company to stop operating entirely, or specify the types of actions that are required.

What a pain in the ass........ when you assume people know what the hell they are doing when in fact they have no clue.

I bought Nokian snow tires from xxxxxxxxx last year and put them on the OEM Honda alloy wheels that originally came with the car. My summers are on aftermarket Enkei rims. I was fully prepared to do the change myself, as I uausally do, but decided to phone xxxxxxxx to see how much it would cost for them to do the switch. They told me, "Free!" Well frugal Asian in me said, go for it. I show up at xxxxxxxxx and they do the change. No problemo, right?

Honda OEM alloy wheels use ball seat lug nuts while Enkei and most aftermarket wheels use tapered lug nuts. I assumed they would know this. This morning when I started putting things away in daylight, I noticed the centre caps were not on the rims. The wheel locks I use on the Enkei's are pretty long (tuner style) and makes it impossible for the centre caps to be installed. This morning I had to change all the lug nuts over again. Most of the lug nuts that were on the vehicle were pretty loose. Scary thought as I had the tires done out in the valley. I drive like a madman on Hwy1, so it could have led to a pretty dangerous situation.

Lesson learned........ never assume. Trained professionals are few and far between.

Canada Jetlines: Ultra-low cost carrier being proposed for Western Canada

According to the investor briefing, Jetlines plans to offer flights at a significant discount to those currently offered by Air Canada and WestJet to destinations west of Winnipeg. For example, the lowest fare between Vancouver and Prince George currently costs $144 on either Air Canada or WestJet but would cost $72 on Canada Jetlines.

The airline proposes to drive up extra revenue by charging for extra services like checked and carry-on bags, priority boarding, premium coach seats, on-board food and snacks, and in-flight iPads and earphones. It also proposes charging for other less conventional services, including potentially in-flight nanny services.

4 teens/early twenties surrey residents were caught in Australia trying to smuggle Heroin in from China they're facing life in prison (aside from the youth i imagine)

4 youths with B.C. links arrested in Australia for allegedly smuggling heroin
BY ELAINE O'CONNOR, THE PROVINCE NOVEMBER 29, 2013

Four youths with ties to B.C. who allegedly tried to smuggle millions of dollars in heroin through Australian customs could face life in prison.

A 17-year-old girl was arrested with three others on Monday Nov. 18. They were caught by border security allegedly trying to bring 17 kilograms of heroin into the country on a flight from China to Melbourne.

An X-ray of their eight bags allegedly revealed they were lined with packages of drugs worth about $5 million.

The four have been charged by Australian Federal Police with importing commercial-grade border-controlled substances, according to a police press release.

The offence carries a maximum of life imprisonment.

Among the accused is Tyrell Brown, 20; Jason Singh, 21; and Madison Trim, 19. Brown is reported to have attended Surrey’s Elgin Park Secondary and Singh, who is from the Netherlands, attended Surrey’s Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary.

The minor, who cannot be named, is believed to have attended school in South Surrey.

The three older youths appeared before Melbourne Magistrates Court on Nov. 19 and were remanded into custody until their next court appearance in February.

The court heard that Trim had never been involved with police before.

The minor was expected to appear at a Children’s Court hearing.

Australian Customs and Border Protection Services Acting National Manager Dean Hogarth said in the police media release that the seizure was “a sophisticated operation, involving multiple people and numerous bags.”

Australian Federal Police manager of crime operations Commander Jennifer Hurst said in a statement that the investigation was ongoing.

“The AFP will continue to work alongside our domestic and international partner agencies to detect and disrupt illicit drug importations, and our investigations into the circumstances of this venture remain ongoing,” Hurst said.

Got a pretty good deal on a Canadian Tire Maximum Flex Head Wrench set. $70.00 off making it $29.99. I used coupon to get further 5 bucks off. What irks me about Canadian Tire wrench sets is that they don't seem to put any 17mm wrenches in their 7 pc sets.

Owning Hondas, I use 8, 10, 12, and 14mm wrenches a lot. But c'mon, where's the 17? There's a 16 and an 18 in the set, for fuck's sake. Who uses 16 and 18? 17 and 19 are more useful, ain't it?

Vancouver to host free 2014-2015 New Year?s Eve celebration | News1130 (http://www.news1130.com/2013/12/12/vancouver-to-host-free-2014-2015-new-years-eve-celebration/)

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – The City of Vancouver has announced a family-friendly countdown party to ring in 2015 that will include fireworks.

This will be the first time in more than a decade that Vancouver will host a free public New Year’s Eve event.

The celebration will include a festival along Burrard Landing that will include things like food carts, exhibits, entertainment, and children’s activities. The Olympic Cauldron at Jack Poole Plaza will also be lit.

There will be an ‘Early Eve’ Countdown celebration for families with young children. At midnight, the countdown will feature a fireworks display launched from a barge in Coal Harbour.

It does raise the question though of how organizers can ensure it will be family-friendly.

“We’re going to be providing the best possible and safest event. It’s no different than what we see with the Celebration of Lights and the Canada Day celebrations. It’s really important that we do this right and follow the procedures that are in place at the city,” explains Charles Gauthier with the Downtown Vancouver Business Association.

He says they’ve come a long way since the riot of 2011.

“I think there were a lot of lessons learned and the biggest one was that we need to do a better job of planning for all types of events.”

Wow, my post was worded really terribly. What I really wanted to ask was; how do you change the date to the date you want to order the tickets on? The site won't let me change the date and I want to purchase my tickets for Tuesday. Did they take this option off?

A few weeks ago, I was at the casino in Coquitlam. While there, I asked one of the bouncers there why they were going to change the name of the theatre. The Red Robinson Theatre.

Their reasoning was that Red Robinson is only famous to Vancouverites. OK, I thought........ so what are you going to call it?

I have to spoiler it, because I want you guys to be sitting down and preparing yourself for the answer.......

"The Joint"

Now how is that going to make the place any more recognizable, Internationally?

I'm hoping this is just a ploy to get people's attention. So many corporations wanting to :fulloffuck: with our minds.

Michael Bublé was so pissed off with the news that he swore never to perform at the venue ever again.

He's not the only one who feels this way. Red Robinson was well known by outsiders and performers from around the world. Everytime they came over to perform in Vancouver, Red Robinson was the guy.

The corporation that runs the "Joint," are a bunch of no-minds. Hey, while we're at it, let's rename Stanley Park to "Back Yard."

Why would the hard rock keep the name? That's terrible for the rebranding of the casino, as far as I know boulevard was one of the lower performing casinos in the lower mainland so if you kept the RR theatre and all the same shit, where's the draw to check it out?

Red Robinson is barely even famous to any current age bracket that populates the casino anyways. I've got no problem with the change, obviously it wasn't going to remain that namesake forever

When you name something, whether it be a bridge, a city, a building, etc., you tend to leave it as is. It was named such to honour a person or thing.

So, by your logic, the Jim Robson Gondola should be renamed too, one day. Who the hell is going to remember Jim Robson....... why the hell would we even retire uniform numbers? Who the hell is Pavel Bure? What was his number again? Yeah, it would get you upset if those things happened..........

Red Robinson was a legend in the entertainment business. It doesn't matter if you knew him or not.

Also, the Joint? What kind of a name is that? It has no identity to anything.............. it has no fucking connection to our city, the area's history, entertainment, or anything else.

Nothing is sacred anymore..........

he tried denying he even made those comments too, can't believe he's a local too

While insensitive to say especially around this time of year, personally, I don't necessarily disagree with anything he said. It does fall under Provincial jurisdiction and really it's not his personal responsibility to feed or care for other peoples children if he doesn't care to do so.

Personally I have donated to a number of charities that focus on children, however there are way too many people these days that are making poor life decisions and having children when they cannot afford to do so, exasperating the child poverty situation and looking to taxpayers and government to try and dig out from their own poor life decisions and planning when they should be taking responsibility themselves.

Too many of these people seem to just want to rely on social assistance programs and have no motivation to improve their own situation and personally, I'm sick of it. I'll use a real life example I'm personally aware of, my friend is dating a single mother who receives social assistance because she is a single mother below a certain income threshold. She also receives subsidized housing in a prime Yaletown location, steps away from the seawall. She has no incentive to improve her education/trade training or job situation because she doesn't want to lose social assistance, Yaletown condo, etc... so she keeps working her entry level job with no plans on doing better. While she's collecting our tax dollars and subsidized housing, she takes the money she makes from her job and recently bought a new 50in 3D LED TV and Samsung S4 smartphone. Tell me that isn't fucked or makes you angry, how about she save that money instead and use it on her kid or improve her own situation.

So again while I have supported some children's charities, there are just too many people these days not taking personal responsibility for their own situation or wanting to improve their own situation and just looking to handouts, instances like these has just jaded me to all this.

^I agree with you guys. However, I would never want to be in her shoes. There's something called pride and integrity. To me, that is worth more than any condo by the beach or 50 inch television, etc.

My children, if my wife and I did a good job, had good role models. Just like my parents were good role models for me. Make an honest living without burdening others.

That kid of hers is going to turn out to be another one of those people who take, take, take, and never give (selfish).

Worst is when you see the low lives at the food bank loading the food into their new BMW or Mercedes, yup, I've seen it.

I get the opportunity to talk to a lot of business leaders and politicians through work, social circles and board of trade events and honestly in the past 5 years, I've been advocating hard for cuts or freezes to a number of social entitlement/handout programs and to divert those resources to trades training, incentives and tax cuts for job creators and businesses and reduce costs for businesses. Personally I feel its better to create more jobs, train people for skilled labour and to reward job creators. I've spoken to a lot of people I've come across and most agree. I understand there will be some that think I'm the devil for thinking or pushing for these things, but thats fine, I do lean more right than left and I at most times think the left is the devil, thats just the way it is, everyone has differing views :D

I've fallen on real hard times here on alberta, and had to resort to a foodbank. I've been hiding it from my roommate because there is a massive shame/embarrassment that comes with it and I dont want to be bailed out because I always get the "i'm so disappointed in you".

It kinda blows that I kinda can't go home for christmas, but the good news is the government here is teaching me a trade (welding) and I've been getting interviews for apprenticeships. I got some interviews for some nightclubs becuase of my 234039342239 years experience in them, but people here are really really reluctant to hire if you don't have a car. Transit isn't an option and I don't have the funds available to buy a car. I can't even get a job at superstore etc because TFW's rule here. Ontop of that noone hires around Christmas.

I'm ready and capable to work, with a shitload of safety certificates, but if you dont have a car in alberta, you are viewed useless. I did apply for EI, and believe me i'm trying to get out, but now that I'm literally facing homelessness I can see how difficult it is to get out.

I mean I can start a trade tomorrow, as an electrician or a ironworker, or a sheet metal/hvac. But because I don't have a car they can't take me on. They tell me get a car, call us back.

They actually work hard here to pull you out of a shitty situation, though, and I could probably go a bit further with a welding ticket working in a shop making some decent coin.

Also don't hate on single mothers. Life is tough on them. I know what they have to face, and it isn't easy.

I'm ready and capable to work, with a shitload of safety certificates, but if you dont have a car in alberta, you are viewed useless. I did apply for EI, and believe me i'm trying to get out, but now that I'm literally facing homelessness I can see how difficult it is to get out.

I mean I can start a trade tomorrow, as an electrician or a ironworker, or a sheet metal/hvac. But because I don't have a car they can't take me on. They tell me get a car, call us back.

Man, that's tough. Is there anything we here at RS can do? I don't really know who you are, but I see you post in RS often enough. I think if anything, RS can come together and help you out. Surely a car club can come up with a car that works. If not we can all pitch in and make it work.

This will be with your permission, of course.

As for the single mom thing, yes, they really have it tough, but the case that was mentioned in this thread isn't cool. You're right, we shouldn't paint people with the same brush.

^^ Sorry to hear you are going through a tough time, man. There is no shame in being honest and open. We have all been there...I had to pay my electric bill from my change jar and return cans to avoid it being cut.

It sucks, but it gets better. It also makes you appreciate the good times more.

Don't give up. Its a hard time of year, but it will pass.

i'd absolutely refuse any help. I'd rather go homeless and die on the streets than accept help anymore. I need to get myself out of this.

I'm more frustrated with direct family though. I know my situation and what you need to get by here. They think every city is Vancouver, but what you have in Calgary is essentially one of the largest cities in North America, the sprawl is massive here. I live in a suburb with my friend and while transport to downtown is not bad, unless you work in downtown that's all transit is good for. You can get far in Alberta if you have a skill. You will most likely get a company vehicle or if you had a college education you will most likely be working downtown, since all of downtown Calgary is finance/oil/offices. Vacancy here is 1%. It also rubs salt in the wound when you have wealthy family members, and in the 3 months that I've been unemployed here (partially) they have never called once to see how I'm doing. They don't know that I went a week without food eating only protein shakes and oatmeal before i resorted to a food bank. I've applied for ~20 jobs a day through kijiji, have an impressive resume, a college education, about 12 mandatory certificates for trades and I can't get a fucking job. Either way the only reason I said don't rag on single mothers is because I was essentially raised by one and my best friend is a single mother so I know what she goes through. Career advancement is tough as a single mother because your daughter always comes first. She's been offered 2 dream jobs in different cities (for gaming companies) and she can't move because she doesn't want to ruin her daughters life.

Sorry to hear, meowjin. If you were here, I'd probably just lend you a car til you got back on your feet. Where abouts are you located?

There's a big difference between your situation and the people, 77, is talking about. They don't want any better and are just content leeching the system and the people taking food from the food bank, that can afford better, are just shameless pricks that will try to save a buck even at the expense of someone who's really in need.

As far as the single mother thing goes.... sorry, I don't buy it. I was a single dad when I was 19 and no one gave me shit. I had to do some fucked up shit to get by and society didn't take pity on me or my situation. I could've went on welfare but I chose to push through and try to not go that route. There are way more programs and support for single moms, than dads. I'm not trying to sound like a martyr, all I'm saying is, just cause someone's a single mom, doesn't give them a free pass cause society labels them to be pitied.

edit: Kudos to your friend for sticking around and toughing it out here, to keep here daughter in a stable environment. However, if life would be a lot easier in another town, with a better job, I'd say that's a choice she made, to not move. I wouldn't think a child's life would be ruined just cause they moved.

It's really none of my business, but unless there are direct and real consequences to her daughter's life because she moves, I would consider trying to persuade her.

A lot of us moved when we were children and our lives were not ruined..lol.

That being said, also do consider MG1's offer; accepting handouts from strangers is something I wouldn't consider either - however, if a group of friends (which you can consider RS to be) extended their help out to me knowing I wasn't doing too well, I would gratefully accept. Not because I'm a loser, but because sometimes we have to take a bite out of pride to get ourselves back up.

If you have a car, will your situation improve almost immediately?

Ugh..thanks for the reality check Majin. I was thinking on heading out as well.

No finances at all for a 500 dollar car? Monthly installment for insurance? Dang. I understand your mindset though, that you need to get out of this yourself. Commendable, but just not the dying part. Everyone needs a hand. Rich people get it all the time. Through connections for jobs/contracts, etc.

Makes no sense why you can't get the same.

If I see this on my UPS tracking, does that mean I'll have to pay a duty & brokerage for sure? Or does it still YMMV?

Package data processed by brokerage. Waiting for clearance. / Delivery rescheduled.
Receiver assigned clearance to non-UPS broker. Shipment is remaining in UPS control.

UPS always charges for brokerage for any items crossing the border... be ready to bend over and spread em... its so stupid. not a YMMV situation, its just something they always do.

Can I just refuse the package and have it sent back then?

You can refuse the shipping, they will try to deliver twice. BUT no guarantees you'll get your money back from TEAVANA

Did some searching.
There's endless customers on their facebook page bitching about how their items still haven't been shipped...etc. But no one seems to ever had any problems with brokerage fees.

My tracking shows its a "UPS Standard".

Is this the right chart I should be looking at? Given my order is under $20....I think I'm still safe?

You are NEVER safe from UPS.

They wanted me to pay $67 in fees for a $20 item. Even the driver thought it was ridiculous and told me to refuse it.

I did, they sent it back, and I called the selling website, told them what happened, and asked them to ship it again by USPS - they did, and I didn't pay anything.

Also, there is a "method" on RFD to bypass the brokerage fees by just importing the things yourself.

It does require some phone calls and visits to a customs office on your part though, so you choose the lesser of two evils.

I quit/got fired.

Told them the job wasn't for me because I wasn't doing a whole lot of anything and asked if I go into doing rig ins. They informed me they hired me for that one job and let me go.

Also mg1 I appreciate the offers, but if I can't pull myself out of this, it's darwins way of not letting me continue.

Grand Opening at Hard Rock today. Limited pins to first 200 people. I'm #32. Opening is at 5:00 pm, LOL. The pins will be worth a lot when the place shuts down in three months, hee hee. Btw, I have a fair collection of pins. Got them on that cross continental road trip I took a few years back. I didn't have the downtown Vancouver one, so I had to get one on eBay.

Maybe this video deserves it's own thread but since one of the most recent topics was on the topic of handouts, what do you guys feel about this?

The Needy VS The Greedy - People Behaving Badly - YouTube

I think it just reflects badly on all Chinese people because outsiders aren't going to be splitting hairs when they see this, they'll paint all Chinese people the same way which is a shame.

It's also a cultural thing since you see mostly older Chinese people do it. Since older generations are to be respected and "can't do no wrong" you get situations where assholes take advantage of that.

Did you catch the fireworks? Pretty impressive, but only because they were detonated on the rooftop of the parkade. What did you think of the hostesses? I kind of liked the chick in the mini skirt made of records. Free food was a nice bonus. I got a free Hard Rock t-shirt and the limited edition pin.

I go to that casino only when they send me free slot play and other promotions. In fact, last month, I won 200 bucks for filling out a survey. I cashed out as soon as I got the card. Apparently, they give these cards out often. The casino doesn't really lose, as most people gamble it away and then some. Not me. I took the money and ran, hee hee.

I've never seen that casino this full. Like you said, the novelty will wear out.

-_- TV I wanted to buy was a $150 cheaper a few days ago @ best buy during a no-tax sale than it will be on Boxing Day

I missed the sale, when I had found out about it best buys website was down for maintenance and when it came live again the sale was over

Hey thanks! It's the Sony 70" was $2049 a few days ago, on boxing day it'll be $2199 -_-

12-22-2013, 10:42 AM

yeah that's the one! i should have checked online earlier that day during the no-tax sale :/

I may go with the 65" it's a bit smaller but the tv is a better model only because i feel cheated from the higher "sale" price with the 70" :lol but it's $1999 that's not even a Boxing Day deal it was on sale in store for that price last month

12-22-2013, 01:41 PM

So I guess you don't think it's worth waiting for the 4K stuff to come down in price?

StylinRed

12-22-2013, 04:45 PM

^^^ I was thinking about it but there just isn't any 4K content yet except for some youtube videos and some sony online videos, the bitrate for those will make the 4K resolution moot + there is some Hz or some other issue (can't recall exactly) which makes 3D not the best under the current 4K sets so by the time 4K sets will be worth it (content/tech wise) I'll upgrade again then

I went into Henderson Place earlier and they've got an Openboxco store and they've got that same 70" Sony for $1799 I almost went for it but I can't remember what the reviews are like for openboxco so I figured I'd wait and see

I'm also looking at the 65" set (W802A or something) I was looking at them side by side earlier today and the 65" clearly has the better picture but I like the larger size of the 70" it's only 5" but there's such a huge difference
