Mega Sale SCAM! - Toyota Yaris Forums

pixiedixie862 · 01-07-2009, 08:53 PM

Just saw a commercial on TV about a mega sale going on this weekend at the LA convention center and Long Beach.

They state ridiculous offers like $19 ipods and $10 cameras...

Here is what the commercial looks like (oviously this one is for San Diego but they are the same company that host this)

Just giving you guys a heads up about it.

yup I heard the commercial too. and I saw the same vid so im not going anymore.

cali yaris · 01-08-2009, 02:12 AM

i don't have $19 so I don't have to worry about going.

ddongbap · 01-08-2009, 05:30 AM

I'll give you 19 dollars for your Yaris, so you can get it.

Actually, I'll give you 22. Cause you gave me a ride. =]

ddongbap · 01-08-2009, 05:30 AM

So I don't get it, what do they hope to accomplish by having people go?

nsmitchell · 01-08-2009, 07:51 AM

Chocked full of bargains! hehe

Suckers are born every minute, possibly every second!

Flea market mentality means that you want to buy crappy stuff. I'll bet it's grey market stuff from China. Probably have the Appel Ipud, Sayko watches, Alphine car audio, Kinwood, Macrosoft X-Box, Suny PalayStation, Nontendo Wee, etc...

we have similar sales over here in ny and its basically just re-furbished JUNK thats for sale.....

I went to one in Yakima, paid $5 to get in only to find the exact stuff you guys are talking about. One guy was even selling bootleg CDs & DVDs with horrible inkjet printed covers. I was tempted to call the cops. Also loads of rip-off cheap clothing.

haha, if we go 0-100 instead of 0-60 do I get more?

nsmitchell · 01-09-2009, 08:53 AM

I love making up knockoff names for stuff.

Pionear, Panosonic, Kikker, Altech Lancing, Cannon, Nakamuchi, etc...

cali yaris · 01-09-2009, 09:28 AM

^ you're too good at that, I'm suspicious now.

marlondog · 01-09-2009, 11:15 AM

I guess third-world flea markets are going mainstream. I wont be suprised if the event is sponsored by Nong-Shim. There promoting their new "Cream of Some Yung Guy" soup

superskunk'd · 01-09-2009, 12:16 PM

your $19 would be better spent on almost anything OTHER than an ipod anyway

What does a noodle company have to do with flea markets?
