$385 The Hat Box Gift Certificate - $325 OBO
« on: March 21, 2013, 01:15:59 AM »
I have a $385 The Hat Box Gift Certificate that i would like to sell for $325 OBO

Although this wont help me sell this, i prefer to be honest: In my 2 times i have shopped there i have not enjoyed the experience. I feel them to be very dishonest when it comes to pricing and their in store discounts etc,  and they did add $20 to my hat price when i payed with a certificate. This is my main reason for selling it, as i prefer to shop elsewhere.

They run the place like a market. Quote each person a different price. Try to overcharge.
When you tell the cashier the price the salesman said he acts shocked and says , "let me check that, it can't be... But if he said, I'll have to give it for that price".
When a customer asked, "how much is this shirt?" The reply was, "$40, but for you $30".
When another customer went to put back a product after asking a price he was asked, "how much do you want to spend?" And then sold it for his chosen price.

And to top it all off, when a bochur came to pay and asked for his total to be rounded down a little, the cashier says, "go back to Israel, that stuff doesn't work here". (Was kinda said in a joking way, but still!)

All this I witnessed in about 45 min!

And I just realized, how many stores exist now days without price tags on ANY of there products?

While I agree with what everyone is saying. IMHO If you go in there knowing what you are willing to spend and with the knowledge that you can haggle, you can walk out of there with a nice suit at a decent price.

Dave's "cheena" story:
A lady was in the Hatbox with her son and Dave was busy prattling on about the top quality italian suit he was showing them. The lady checks out the suit, and mentions "it says made in China not Italy" he responds "it's 'Cheena' not china, it's acity in Italy"  :o

When the guy there saw I Didn't like any of the suits he tried selling me life insurance.  I guess it's the same line of work:)

i always looked at that place like a used car lot!! I hate it!! when you know that if you arent ready to bargain then they will charge you more than usual price!! very annoying! i completely agree with the op

Listen it used to be a car dealership and hat box bought it, it's possible its the same workers :)

So after all these "positive" reviews I still haven't sold the credit!
