| - This place is retarded. Seriously retarded!! My girlfriend and I were driving around on October 20th hitting garage sales for various items for our new condo. I saw a sign while driving down Baseline "HDMI Cables $5 - Best Deal in Town" ... coincidentally, I had been looking for an HDMI cable for our 32" Visio that my girlfriend had one back in Texas that we hauled up here during our move, only to find that the component in (RGB/RW) aren't stable enough for a good picture. I pulled into this place and, like the other reviewers, found that it was almost like a warehouse. There were massive amounts of electronics on display and boxes and boxes stacked to the ceiling... But everything I looked at was really nice. I asked Nick for an HDMI cable and he asked me what length. I said a 6ft, and he promptly got one out of his supply drawer and told me it would be $5 plus tax. I smirked a bit and asked him how long they'd been in business and he said, to my surprise, over SEVEN YEARS. This was unbelievable to me; I used to live up the street... literally less than two miles away on Baseline and Kyrene. I never knew these guys were here. I started looking at the TVs and I saw a 55" 240Hz Samsung 3D Smart TV that made me drool. Then my girlfriend said "Look at this Sharp Aquos" ... I asked Nick what the largest 240Hz TV they had was and he pointed out the Sharp Aquos my girlfriend was already looking at... I asked if he would recommend the Samsung over the Sharp, and he shrugged and said "for the price, the Sharp is a much better deal. It's about $600 less than the samsung, same connections, same refresh rate... of course most people find the samsung's picture quality to be good, but depending on your budget, is it $600 better? that's up to you really" ... his knowledge was superb.. I continued to look around, seeing blu-ray players, stereo receivers, and more TVs ... Calmly, I turned to my girlfriend and she smiled and said "how about instead of a projector, we get the samsung 60" LED TV?" ... Yup... she's a keeper. So I bought just the HDMI cable, but the amount of knowledge Nick exhibited and his non-pushy presence and the variety and the price really do make this place worthwhile. Nick did explain that a lot of their TVs are previous open-box items, but that everything was tested and given a 30-day in-store warranty, which would then be shifted over to the manufacturer's warranty. I can't say enough about this place. I can't wait to get a 60" Samsung LED for less than internet-pricing from this place and make all my buddies jealous, either. Thanks Nick!
