i am a super (lucky) shopper. i went to staples yesterday to buy ink for my printer and ended up in the camera aisle. i found one that was the right price ($134) and a very helpful sales associate came over to talk to me (which was more than ever happened at circuit city, i might add). the guy checked their stock and they only had the display model left. i decided i liked the camera enough, so i told him i bought it. well, they couldn't find the key to remove the security device, so i bought it anyway and went back to pick it up today. the sales guy apparently felt bad and talked to his supervisor about giving me something for my trouble. so they gave me a 2-year in-store warranty on the camera. and it gets better. when he rang up the camera, it was only $119, and i got 10% off because it was the display model. anyway, here's the first pic from my new camera.
this is a painting that i bought on my mission for $10. i decided to get it framed finally with my tax return. i love it so much. the frame is perfect. i think it really ties all of the colors together well. i love it so much that i decided to put it in the dining room so that everyone can enjoy it. you can too the next time you come to my house :)

Very nice picture. You totally scored on the camera. And you are so right about no help at Circuit City. I found the same thing at the Circuit City in Riverdale. We then went to Staples in Logan and there was someone at the door to ask what we might be looking for that day. So nice!!! If Circuit City only knew their lack of customer service is costing them business.
Hmmm...I have had the exact opposite happen to me at those 2 stores. Now that I'm thinking about it, it might be attributed to the fact that the service at MY Staples is so crappy, that even a look in my direction as I walk into Circuit City is considered to be excellent customer service.
I'm so glad you got your new camera, but at the same time so jealous of your slammin' deal! I don't know why I'm surprised, though. You always seem to find the best deals.
Speaking of good deals, can/will you make me a skirt out of your new skirt book on which you also got a great deal?
