It could suck but maybe she'll find an even better one. I had to go through that hell. It wasn't the with a crib but other things. It would bring me down for a day or two then I would find something better. Good things come to those who wait.

I agree with #14 because maybe the there was something wrong with the crib, or maybe it's just bad luck but I have no doubt that OP will find an even better one!

That does suck, but I think I'd be the employee going "Is this woman really sobbing because we don't have the crib model she wants?"

@#59 i doubt that her initial reaction to finding out they no longer sell a certain baby crib would be crying if she werent pregnant. but she is indeed pregnant and its probably hard to control her emotions.

did u ask for the model? depends on the place and who u talk to (manager), but a lot of times they'll sell it to u.

Why not buy the display model if you like it that much? You'd probably get it for a discount.

Talk to the manager! Sometimes they'll allow you to purchase the display model.

My computer was the display model, so if you really want it op, ask if you can buy the display!

So was mine, has those annoying unremovable stickers on it

Or just sell her that one..

Floor models usually break a lot sooner than new ones do. It's not worth it to buy one.

it's a crib, it only has to last 1-2 years

Yeah, but would you take that chance? Would you use some beaten-to-hell crib for a couple years when it could possibly break with your baby sleeping in it? I didn't think so either.

If you plan on having more than one kid, you'd want a crib to last longer than 1-2 years.

Yeah I don't understand why they couldn't sell the floor model then. That's really stupid.

The store actually CANNOT sell the crib, even though they'd make money on it. Unfortunately, as soon as they set up the crib, it's a liability to sell it because: 1) You don't know if the person who assembled it together actually assembled it correctly. 2) Once that model goes out on the display floor, customers do whatever the heck they want to it - I've seen them "test out" the crib by putting their child in it when it's up on a steel shelf, where it's INCREDIBLY unsafe, as well as seen them take it apart to see how it fits together. 3) You don't know how long the model has been out on the shelf. It could have been weeks, months, or years. Things could get lost. 4) You don't know if it's missing parts, or if it was assembled BECAUSE it was missing parts, simply so they could have a display because of said missing parts. These are just examples, but there are SO MANY FACTORS that people don't understand unless they're working from a retail perspective. Just things to keep in mind.

Also, many times the display is not owned by the store but actually rented to them.

Where I come from you don't have to worry about accident liability, and it has always seemed like a good thing to me.

Because retailers are idiots

You're an idiot because you obviously don't understand retail. It's not up to the store to keep the crib up or not. It's corporate that tells them when to get rid of the store model crib. Don't be ignorant you ass. It's not the stores fault.

Then give birth in prison..

I thought they were talking about houses at first.

I can't lie I did the same thing for a split second.
