Guess we all get our share of these morons at some point. All the ones I have been having problems with seem to either reside from California, or were originally from California. A lot of times, they dont even own the said model TV, and are probing for information. One guy happened to be a consultant , and knew absolutely zilch about TV repair, but it was obvious someone in the know was coaching him and provided the proper series of questions to ask to get the required information. When they did get the info, they didnt have a use for it anyway, and tried to hold me liable for it. This one took the cake, and I let the stupid fool be aware he was not only wasting his time, but mine as well. He then stated he practices California law and would take affirmative action blah blah and hung up. He said he knew TV repair because he and his dad built a Heathkit for christmas together once.

Forget the other projos that range from $1200.00 to over $4,000.00. Those are just the $750.00 ones overpriced. yeah. People are such mindless sheep. Drueling, slack jawed, eyes glazed unthinking. Anything they see on TV or in ads. Must be Gospel. An advertising executive's dream. Where is our common sense. There's no free lunch. Cheap is cheap. There's a saying here: If you pay a lot for something, there's a chance you may not get your monies worth... But if you buy cheap, you will ALWAYS get your monies worth. (cheap value).
