At this time of the year , we all get bombarded with ads from lots of family owned local stores and national chains ( big box) trying to sell their products to you for the holidays.
Being a locally owned, family owned retail store I am biased towards buying and supporting family owned businesses.
When shopping this holiday season and throughout the year, Please try and shop at your local family owned and operated business.
I assure you the price will be right, (most stores match prices) the service will be better than the big box stores, (the owners live in the area and do not want bad press ), and you will feel good about supporting the local community as more dollars stay locally when you buy local.
Happy Holidays

Power Surges
This week Percy's has been getting lots of calls from our friends who have bought items here and due to the Ice storm and snow storms, have lost the use of these items due to power surges.
What should you do if you have a Tv, audio system, or appliance that was power surged and how can we all prevent these issue from coming up?
1. If your appliances, audio or video has been power surged and you have lost the use of them, please come down to the store so we can get you an invoice on what the replacement value of those items would be. You may then give that to your insurance adjuster. Many home owners policies have this protection.
2. Always buy a good....er, great surge protector on every electronic you buy. To spend hard earned money on a beautiful TV and home entertainment system and not buy, or purchase a inexpensive surge protector is not very wise. Please come in and see one of our trained team members and we will gladly show you the difference between a good inexpensive surge protector and a great inexpensive one that actually does what it is supposed to do.
2. If your power is out, UN-plug your electronics and appliances asap. When power does come on, there will be a powerful signal sent to your house, that can affect equipment that is cold. Be careful.
3. Appliance service; Percy's services what we sell. If you bought your appliances here and need service due to the Ice and snow storm, please call us. We are here to help you.

100th Post Spectacular!
Wow,
It's our 100th post and also only 8 more days til Christmas! I'm hoping that all are well and are getting excited for the upcoming holiday. Still doing any shopping? My plans are to wrap up my gift shopping by Friday so that next week won't be too busy.
Here in the Northeast we've been crippled with an ice storm that has people still without power and could be that way until after the holiday. It's put a damper on alot of holiday cheer and has left hundreds of thousands without power. So far, no casualties have been reported, but the initial report stated that over 1 million people were without power the day after the storm hit. My hope is that everyone gets cleared up by the holiday.
So while all that was going on, percys.com was a-buzz with tons of responses to the last post about the Blu-ray players. We sold so many in 2 days that we had to get an emergency order rush shipped to us so we can get them out for the holidays. If Blu-ray is on your mind for the holidays, then you've only got at least 1 more day to get your order in to have it shipped on time. We can not guarantee anything when it comes to UPS and it's delivery. But if Blu-ray is still vague to you, then let me help you choose.
I can remember it like it was yesterday....although it was actually about 12 years ago. I bought my very first DVD player. It was made by Sanyo and was priced at about $150. The first movie I bought as Ronin with Robert De'Niro. I remember buying this, bringing it home, and sitting in awe at this new (at least new to me) technology. I remember fast-forwarding and amazed that there weren't any tracking lines, amazed at the menu options, and even amazed at how clear it was. It was great!
Last year I bought a Playstation 3 complete with a Blu-ray built into it. I plugged it into my 57" DLP 1080p TV and was awe-struck again...11 years later...at the picture I was looking at. The clearest of clear pictures was screaming at me from my TV and I instantly fell in love with Blu-ray. As each new release comes out, they come out with a Blu-ray. So you know all those are covered. But what about the "oldies"? Don't worry, all the movies you love are slowly but surely coming out on Blu-ray too.
This holiday season, all Blu-ray players have drastically been reduced to as low as $199 making it easier for you to complete your own "home theater". This is the year for Blu-ray. If you need a little more reassurance, please come to Percy's and let one of our Electronics Specialists show you the difference between Blu-ray and standard definition DVD's. It will blow you away for sure!

Remember, time is running out! Christmas is just around the corner. Hurry!
Take Care,
