Last time i checked, the playntrade website had a disclaimer stating that they are not allowed to sell any franchises in the state of California. So they must have been banned.

Joe I agree, I was at the auction last Wednesday and the whole store, including, computers, fixtures, games, systems, shelves, even the refrigerator and phones sold for less than $18000. We are talking about thousands of games. It was heart breaking but people need to look in to this a litte better

I just talked to a PnT Franchisee to see how he was doing, and was told that stores are starting close left and right, he knows of about 7 that have closed in the last week, he plans to close after Christmas. Between the economy, Walmart/Best Buy/Gamestop offering huge discounts on New Release titles and an inept corporate leadership, hes just fed up. Im guessing that all the owners still open would love to have just lost 30k, compaired to what many of the have and will lose in the future

Just wanted to follow through on my October 27th post…

Talked for a long time with a very helpful guy named RJ at Corporate Office. Took a bit of time, but Corp. and the new owner of the store have signed a contract saying that the store will honor store credit that was held by the previous owner. All in all I’m satisfied that I finally have access to my store credit right before all of the holiday shopping starts, but as soon as I’ve used up the credit I’m not coming back to PnT.

After losing $30000 in franchise money, i decided not to open, and it was the best decision of my life, there is only one PNT left in the city that i live and there were 8 at one time. The last ones’ merchandise was auctioned off. The only surviving one is alco closing after christmas. And all these PNTs were owned by different ones. This tells you the system is completely flawed

Just so you know “Wade” that you did give the money back ofter 5 months and A SONY P3 but you did not give my sony P3 back. I have the original recipt and the serial numbers do not match. This sony 3 has things on it that my ORIGINAL DID NOT HAVE. So just you “WADE” could get me out of your hair gave me this one. I did get ahold of the BBB “better business bureau” for your shotty practice. I can’t return it to you and argue the fact in person for I know longer live close by you. Just for your information WADE this is not STACY however I am his wife and I am extremely angry with you and I will let everyone know what kind of person you are. How you became a manager is beyond me. Your customer service skills are horrible and you never return calls like YOU “WADE” say you will. I was nice a courteous to you and you WADE keeped blowing me off until the last moment that you couldn’t. I was there when you gave the sony back and the argument that you and Stacy got into. You can’t even show up on time when you say that you will be there. So don’t try and tell me what a great guy you try to portray to be your management skills are terrible and no wonder why Play in Trade businesses are going brankrupt I am sure that yours will follow if YOU are left in charge. Oh ya and just for your information YOU never sent the playstation 3 back to Sony you said you did but you only sent a piece of the ps3 but that is probaly a lie too. You have never been up front the whole 5 months that you had it. Atleast when I had the sony 3 it may have frooze up after a little while but ATLEAST I COULD TURN IT ON. This sony don’t even turn on. This isn’t the same console that we gave you so you gave us someone elses. What I am more angry about is that I should have just sent it to Sony3 instead of trusting you. I wont let anyone else trust YOU if I can help it.

upset…or should I say STACY. We returned your PS3 to you AND your repair money!! After Sony told us even THEY couldn’t fix your PS3, we decided to do the right thing and REFUND YOUR ENTIRE REPAIR PAYMENT!! This fact seems to have been “forgotten” when you posted your rant. Don’t take out your angst and frustration for having broken your console on US. WE gave you your money and PS3 back.

Mr. Upset:
You may have your last name as Forever. PNT Corporate will never help you out of this as from its point of view, your loss is not its fault. This kind of things had happened before in many of the closed PNT stores. What did PNT Corporate do? NOTHING at all.
In fact, it is not the PNT Corporate’s business or responsibility to compensate the individual customer from a closed franchise store. You have better to find the previous owner of the store and ask him/her to get you money and console back. If the owner is filed BK, you have no chance to get anything but UPSET.
You have to swallow it by yourself.
