Ricky’s Electronics

Bought a supposed OEM replacement bulb for a high def projection TV ($ 263.35 inc. tax). Lightbulb blew out after 4 months. He would not replace it because the bulb didn’t have the manufacturers watermark on it. He said that our TV probably burnt it off. Said that the manufaturer would not warranty it because there was no watermark. He told a story of how some people buy bulbs and try to return a knockoff bulb. Not sure if he was accusing us of doing this but we felt like he was. Ended up buying another bulb on-​line for $ 160 (
) and it was professionally packaged (vs. Ricky’s which wasn’t) and so far working great. Ricky thinks that because he bent over backwards that he got us the bulb in an emergency that we should be thankful. He met us in the starbucks parking lot, demanded cash only. We should have known better. Do not recommend this vendor.
