Complaint Review: RENT -A-CENTER

Rent-a-center called me the other day, apparently desperate for customers to come back. They said they were having a sale and that they were doing some kind of special where you pay for a week get a week free. Pay for two weeks get two weeks fre and so on. The guy asked me if I was interested. I said I'd be interested if they had a Wii fit. He said "oh sure! We have two!!" I said what are they going for (knowing they go for $100 in the store when you can find them)? He tells me $799.99. I said "You must be joking...they go for $100 in the stores" He says" well ours come with two controllers". It was at that point I realized we weren't even talking about the same thing. He was talking about the Wii gaming system. I brought this to his attention. I told him that the Wii gaming system sells for 199- 250 bucks in the stores. This ignorant SOB has the nerve to say "well ours is different. It comes with two controllers". I said "Listen here. Believe it or not the Wii I purchased was for myself not for my kids. I happen to be a gamer. I play video games religiously. Do you think I'm stupid? If I'm going to pay 799.99 for a system it better be a fully loaded PS3 with two controllers and a game!" I mean really who does this guy think he's dealing with? I still have my nintendo 64. He says corporate makes the prices not him....so I tried to gt ahold of corporate. Can't find any contact information for them. My question is who the heck is that stupid to pay 4 times the amount for a gaming system? And how can they justify jacking the price up that high? I'm so pissed!!
