Should I complain?

[Panthers_Lover]

I "won" a 32" Sharp Aquos flat-screen TV in an auction a couple of weeks ago. Neither the model nor the brand, for that matter, had been advertised up front, but the retail value of it and the accompanying dvd/vcr combo was listed at $827. I got it for $330 ... great deal, right? (The dvd/vcr combo retails for about $100.)

I ultimately found out it was to be a Sharp Aquos, which is cool. So, in talking to the company that donated it about getting it delivered, I ended up talking to the president (long story). I was interested in knowing the model number, so I could look at the specs. He didn't have the model number, but told me it would be a 1080p ("because they're not making the 720p anymore," he says.).

So, it finally arrived today, and it's a 720p! Retail value is about $550 or less.

Now, should I be pissed and should I complain, or just move on? I still got a pretty good deal, I guess.

720p is fine for that screen size.

Thanks ... I'm just ignorant where these things are concerned. I figured it would probably be fine.

It sounds like a good deal to me, but maybe you should just casually mention it to the president and see if he takes the bait.

Is this a flat screen (as in the type you can hang on your wall) or the old style "flat screens" ?

Write and complain to Scott Fowler of the Observer. Tell him you were a victim. He'll write a story about it and the TV people will give you a brand new TV and stereo system.

If they told you it was going be one model, or told you it wouldn't be a certain model, and it showed up being what they told you it would NOT be....then I would complain.

Yes..most definitely.

It can be mounted on the wall, but also has a stand (which can be removed for wall mounting).

Haha!

Guess I'll just be happy with it ... it's a great TV, I did get a good deal on it (though not as good a deal as it would be if it were the "better" TV), and I helped the college athletics program in the process. Good all the way around. I don't have the need for the dvd/vcr combo -- got one that's also a dvd recorder -- so I'll use it for a charitable organization I chair in our auction.

Well, I might be willing to sell it ... the dvd/vcr combo, not the TV.

Send me a PM, and let's talk. Thanks.
