To buck the anti-Visions crowd,
Why? If you can actually get the TV cheaper through Visions via your friend, why would you avoid Visions?
I'm certainly not a fan of them, and my buying local ends at ski and bike shops, but for electronics, who cares? A lower price is a lower price. If you already have your contact there, go in, pay for it, walk out.
I get hating on the store for someone who wants to go in and ask questions and haggle and make their purchasing decision on what the salesmen says is the better TV, but you already have the TV you want in mind. After that it's a simple transaction.
When Panasonic discontinued their plasma line, Visions had a handful left and were selling them BNIB cheaper than MemEx were selling floor models for. I went in, didn't wait for the sales pitch, said I wanted that TV, declined the warranty, bought it, and walked out.
The whole 'sales' thing there is no better or worse than Canadian Tire (actually Canadian Tire is much worse, IMO) or as Corsi pointed out, Amazon.
If you know what you want and do some research on the price, I don't really see an issue with Visions. But if it's worth more money to buy elsewhere, have at it.
