1130.0. "FREE CD PLAYER" by BSS::ENGER () Fri Mar 25 1988 15:50

Just to generate interrest...You wanna hear my "cheapest CD player" story?
    
    I was watching the papers for sales on stereo equipment and saw
    a Christmas sale on Sharp CD players.  My son went and bought one
    of them.  It was a Sharp DX650 and he paid $116.  It sounds great 
    and we both enjoyed listening to it.  Then one day (2-JAN-88) we 
    wandered into a store called LaserLand (in Colorado Springs) to 
    buy some CD's for Nate's new CD player.  They had the best deal 
    I have found so far on CD players.
    The deal is, put down a $100 deposit and take a Sharp DX660 home.
    Buy 2 CD's from them per month for 12 months and they give you back
    your $100.  What a gimmic to get customers to buy CD's.  I still
    have not figured out the catch yet.  They have the same or lower
    prices on CD's and they have the greatest selection I've seen so far.
    I think I'm going to like this. 

    Anybody else have an interresting story about their CD player?

       two! ;-)
