I feel a true Slickdealer would've gotten the advice or shopped around BEFORE buying.

This is true. Prior year's receivers are more of a known quantity for installers, based on months of customers' experience.

I'd say it's your own fault for not getting a quote in writing. or if you did get a quote, entering into a contract and then having buyers remorse.

You're complaining about markup?
You know you're paying them to provide a seamless install right?

Leave a mediocre review.
"Customer Service was great. On the other hand, company insinuated that I would get "latest" equipment at "cost." But equipment was outdated (by one year) and marked up...

Standard policy. Of course they're going to lie to you to make money. You're basically paying for convenience. You don't know what you need or how to hook it up (or you can't or don't have time),...

I'll add one more note to make you more sad. Speakers have an insane markup. You can almost always buy speakers for 30%-50% off the list price.
You either wait for a sale, or you email the store...

Thanks for the feedback, all valid points. This was not a HUGE issue for me but as a Slickdealer I have a natural aversion to overpaying whenever possible. Being specifically told not to buy the...

I recently (July) hired a home AV company to mount a TV on the wall over the fireplace, run the appropriate cables from...

I would contact them first and be upfront about the issues. Leaving a review when you gave them no opportunity to explain or fix the issue is not really fair.

I have no experience with AV installers but don't they send you a list of what will be installed BEFORE they install it? Call me anal but I'd want to know what they would be installing before they...

Companies are out to make money. That's why they do business.
They didn't lie to you. They told you THEY get it at cost, they never said YOU'D get it at cost. They led you to make that leap on...
