Typically those guys are being assholes because they have to actually work with the customer who is more educated on a product than the dumbass selling it. I know exactly what you’re feeling about them. They also don’t like the idea of you paying the same price as everyone else and potentially making a profit.
I would normally make the offer that if I found one that I wanted that I would pay $20 over sticker price for it. Some take the offer, most want $20 no matter what, and a few made me leave. They tend to think that I’m wasting their time.. by getting to know what I’m about to purchase.
You might want to take a look at psdevwiki before you pull the trigger
You must login or register to view this content.
You can search for your target firmware and see when it was released
Then you’ll have to look at what consoles were released on or before that date (on might be a gamble)
For example I saw a 5.05 for sale at a local Kohl’s and Walmart Supercenter just this past week
So you might not have to deal with those assholes especially if you can get it from a box store
