Complaint Review: General Merchandise & Electronics Sale

This event was advertised on a radio station as having an amazing electronics and home appliance sale. Specifically mentioned in the radio add was a $9.00 MP3 player not to mention numerous bargins advetised from DVD's to televisions. This sounded amaizing so we were among the first in line when the event opened at 12PM on Friday. When we arrived we found only 5 booths dealing in electronics. The rest were clothes, wall rugs, incense, weapons including knives, semiautomatic and fully automatic pellet guns, toys, chamois cloth, and board games. The venue was worse than a flea market with no such deals as advertised. There were no fliers or information about who to contact and the North Atlanta Trade Centerreveals on their site they have no affiliation with these people. This was a classic bait and switch. I sought out the manager at the front desk. The people handling admission said they only take tickets and had nothing to do with the event. I found the manager and he directed me to one of the vendors. I went to the vendor and he said the only price he had was $29.95 for the cheapest MP3 player. Most electronics sold here were out of the box. No garuntees or refunds only exchanges. No one would give you a card for identification. The cost of the venue was $7.00 dollars per person to get in and children under 12 got in free. It cost us a great deal in gasoline and $14 dollars to get in this event and we left with some socks and a toy for my daughter. I will not be scammed again by these people and although the North Atlanta Trade center claims no affiliation with these people I will not attend another event there.
