Visited while shopping for a treadmill. Outdoor banner advertised a treadmill sale. Young clean-cut salesman immediately directed wife and me to new $900 machine he claimed was a great deal, a top home model with great warranty, yet a brand we never heard of. He seemed knowledgeable, telling us the machine was just discontinued because manufacturer was moving into higher end commercial gym market. His store supposedly bought last three machines available from manufacturer and would sell out that weekend. Sign was labeled $300 off MSRP and we happened to walk in same day he was allowed to take another $100 off! He even offered to hold a credit card reservation until 6 PM so we wouldn't miss out. Sounded great, but we're not stupid. We left to verify this machine, brand and price elsewhere. \r

Turns out this store in Santa Rosa was actually selling it for $300 MORE than other Play It Again Sports stores. The MSRP was not $300 higher as they claimed, it was exactly the same as their ""discount price"" including extra $100 off. The total $400 discount was a COMPLETE SCAM. Moreover, the treadmill manufacturer (Keys Fitness) had recently filed for bankruptcy so the manufacturer warranty was void.
Cons: Questionable pricing and brand recommendation
