That seems arbitrary to me.</p><p>My goal here isn't to complain about Buy.Com as much as it is to get Consumerist to stop featuring Buy.Com \"deals.\"  Frankly, I don't think posting \"deals\" is consistent with the mission of the site.  Moreover, I think that promoting the ethic of the deal exacerbates many of the problems that this sites seeks to remedy.</p><p>Whereas some may have had good experiences, the point of this forum isn't necessarily to highlight good performance, but to inform others about bad performance.  So, if Buy.Com has bad customer service, but you received your deal without a hitch, that still means Buy.Com has bad customer service.</p><p>By now, hundreds of people have read through the comments on this post.  I have no reason to believe that the same people reading these comments read the comments attached to the last \"Morning Deals.\"  Inasmuch as this is true, I stand to accomplish more each time I post my opinion and explain my experiences with this bad vendor.  That is why I continue to post.</p><p>Thanks for your inquiry.

And why shouldn't they? There's been no evidence of them being total screwups presented. So in the big picture, it's still a deal.</p><p>SteveDave has a point about not being able to please everyone all of the time. Even if Buy.com had the most deplorable customer service in the world, don't you think you could do more to create awareness of the situation rather than posting in comment threads in response to the daily posted deals? Like I said, start your own website or write an article/expose on buy.com customer service. That's assuming there's something to write about.</p><p>This whole discussion is out of place and needs to end.<br />So no more from me, I've made my point.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(9988198, 'Doug81')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>     <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>     <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->                    <div class=\"comment last\" id=\"comment-9986894\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"http://www.CanItKillTheGrimace.com\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a title=\"http://www.CanItKillTheGrimace.com\" href=\"http://www.CanItKillTheGrimace.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">PorkchopSandwiches!_GitEmSteveDave</a>    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/01/morning-deals-554.html#comment-9986894\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-01-12T16:39:14-05:00\">January 12, 2009  4:39 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(9986894);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=9986894');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c9986556\" rel=\"nofollow\">IrvCrapper</a>: I think John Lydgate said it best when he said: \"You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time\"</p><p>You appear to be someone who will never be pleased.

About 2 months ago on ebay I got a pair of gaming headphones from them. After paying my money was refunded with no explination, when I contacted Paypal to ask what happened stating \"bidding and buying something on your site is expressed as a contract, and I doubt the same would fly if this situation had been reversed with me saying I would not pay and didnt want it anymore\" only to have them appologise and tell me to contact buy.com (the seller). Buy didnt tell me anything, I got an automated response followed by a \"we no longer have it in stock\" email even when they claimed to have 3000+ in stock when I bought mine. I dont know if this is the norm with Buy, but I dont think I will be buying from them any time soon.</p></p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\"

They're bad for the environment, too.</p><p>AAAs are teetering on the edge of that category.  Remotes and calculators tend to take them, but the small devices that used to insist on them are now starting to switch to integrated lithium ion batteries.  For that price, I guess it could be the last pack you buy to support your aging gadgets.</p><p>Still, let's see some deals on rechargeable and a good charger.  They're only convenient (and thus used) when you have a bunch and a big charger that works well to keep them ready.  And rechargables tend to carry more life on a full charge than batteries from the supermarket, which is a plus for things like flash digital photography.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(9987992, 'TVarmy')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-9988026\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\">Christopher Ungeheier    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/01/morning-deals-554.html#comment-9988026\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-01-12T17:18:27-05:00\">January 12, 2009  5:18 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(9988026);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=9988026');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>Xbox Live deal is sold out.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(9988026, 'Christopher Ungeheier')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-9988423\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=529488\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-529488-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=529488\">Oranges w/ Cheese</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/01/morning-deals-554.html#comment-9988423\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-01-12T17:29:52-05:00\">January 12, 2009  5:29 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(9988423);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=9988423');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>I have a Kodak Camera similar to the one being wooted today.
