I'm quite addicted to the place, really.

Same here.

I had to ban myself from going there as I was spending way too much on things I could live without.

Generally when I go there now I already know what I want which makes it easier to get in and out quickly rather than aimlessly wandering around and just grabbing things for the sake of it which I used to do.

I don't like the staff at my local one either. I'm not one of those golden oldies that likes to complain about stuff but some of the people there are quite up themselves. :thumbsd:
 
HAHA! I wish! The joint is a marvel of our time. It's like a secret mens society, how many times have you heard the quote "meet you at JB."

Haha, yeah.

It's a great store, i'll go in wit no intention to buy and 30 mins later i'm $150 lighter with a game, or dvd's or cd's or some other thing i probably didn't need, lol.

Its very easy to buy stuff you don't really want when you're there.

Last time I went (had a bit of time to kill before meeting up with someone) I bought MacGyver season 1 and the complete Micallef P(r)ogram(me) box set, and I've never watched either of them.
 
Seriously, what a cruisy gig.

I have been in several stores and never seen those guys do a single thing.

Not one.

Yeah yeah, deterrent and all that. I know. But still.
Must be the easiest job in the world. Most of the time they dont even check my bag.


Hate it when you go there to buy a particular product and instead you buy something else. Then the next day you go back there to buy the item you initially wanted. :)
 
WOW!! I'M SOOOOO INTERESTED. PLEASE STFU.

LOL.jpg
jeez man calm down.
 
I love the place!
They have got everything. On Sunday, I couldn't find the Geelong 2008 Season Highlights anywhere, so I went to JB Hi-Fi. I ended up there for nearly 2 hours looking at the entire store and buying a $300 Stereo when I was also meant to be buying a $33.00 DVD!
The store always has great prices, plus they have everything, especially when you need it!
 
Years ago when i would go it was purely only hifi gear.... jump forward several years (went to one for the first time in ages back in 2002) and i was gobsmacked by the dvds and cds). I myself used to spend up to an hour just browsing, wouldn't come out with much... 2 - 10 dvds every so
often. It's usually my first port of call when other stores have dvd sales, goto JB and they'll be even cheaper.

I've found the Nunawading store to be the best overall in terms of customer service and range of items, Eastland would be the next best, Chadstone not too far behind. But the worst JB Hifi store
i've ever been to is the one at Knox O'Zone at Knox City. Poor customer service, badly run (not ordering enough stock, sometimes not even getting anything in UNTIL WAY AFTER THE RELEASE DATE(S). The security at the door is great! Always have a laugh with them.
 
Went in to the ballarat store and spent 5 minutes there only because I was waiting for my bus. I bought a cover for my ipod

I always go to the one at Knox, purely because it is the only place where I can purchase cd's at a decent price.

Absolutely love it, spend atleast 30 mins in there going through every artist and picking up anything on special that looks interesting. I've acquired the entire Muse, Radiohead, U2, Kings of Leon and John Butler Trio music collections for a maximum of $10 an album.

Always seem to walk out of there with atleast $60 worth of music, thank god I only make time to do it every few weeks or so.

Thought this was Bunnings, now that place I can wander for hours???

But to answer the question, depends on a number of factors

Do I know what I want?
Do I see anything else I want?
What's the name of that damn movie I can never seem to find?
How much money have I got?
Do i want to smash the credit card?

Yep I can also spend hours in JB or Bunning’s, and will purchase a ‘want’ item over a ‘need’ item

30 mins plus every single time but if i happen to be walking past will go in no matter what.

Head straight to the DVD box sets and wonder around there before heading to the PS3 games. It’s like a candy story.
