is it a good idea to buy the display of a product in a store?

i’m looking at camcorders and a local electronics store has the camcorder at a great price but they only have the display model left. i asked if they would sell it cheaper and they said no. the demo’s are kept in a glass case in this store. the store’s name is "electronic express" in the nashville area.

Well if its from a store like best buy I would say no. Because I know how i treat their demo products when i fool around. Personally I hate to buy things that are on display where other people touch it. But if its behind a glass counter, and its not the type of store where people constantly play around with it (like a circuit city or best buy), I don’t see why you shouldnt get it. However if you found the price there, and there is no discount for the display model, I am sure you can find it somewhere else for the same price. Shop Around on the internet, maybe you can get a new one in the box and everything for the same price.

Good Luck

    I have had an experience in the past. I bought a display Tv and when I got home the DVD player on it did not work. Since it was a display they did not want to take it back. Luckily I kenw the departmant manager and she is the one that sold it to me so I got a refund. I would say being behind glass should be ok but I would ask about the warranty in case something goes wrong.

    Not a very good idea unless it is an item which people can nt play much with… e.g Cordless phones, TV Antenna..but not the things like camera or cam corder
