HaSalesKing says "I Love This Game!" about Parker Brothers Monopoly Card Game, Deal, 1 game

HaSalesKing — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 14:32:04 GMT

Hasbro has done it again!!

They continue to make new additions to the infamous Monopoly brand. I am a die hard fan of the Monopoly games and this is definitely a great spin on the populaar old board game. It's so eaasy to play on the go just about anywhere. Just brought it a couple of weeks ago and have played it almost everyday since!

I recommend this game for all the Momopoly fans. If you're looking for family fun this is the game for you.

HaSalesKing says "Great twist to an old classic!" about Parker Brothers Scrabble Card Game, Slam!, 1 game

HaSalesKing — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 20:17:40 GMT

The Scrabble Slam! Card Game from Parker Brothers is a fan favorite in my house with my 12 year old son. I purchased this seemingly simple game in NC while we were on vaction to have another activity for the kids to play. We were removed from "civilization" for about 4 days, and the luxuries of the internet, telephone, and video games took their toll. SoI purchased some board games!

The game is simple. Just deal out some cards to you and your opponent(s) and get ready for some fun. The object of course is to be the first person to get rid of all their cards. To do this you must form 4 letter words using the cards you were dealt. The dealer makes an agreed upon word to start off the game. After alternating turns, you can pile on 1 letter at a time to change the words to make new ones.

My son needed to build his vocabulary so it has been a great experience all around. Quality time, fun, and learning all in one. I recommend this game for the ultimate words enthusiast and/or parents. You...

HaSalesKing says "Absolutely stunning!" about Country Living Berkshire Dining Patio Table

HaSalesKing — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:45:25 GMT

I was at my store going through all the possibilities for my summer patio sets. It had to be durable, attractive, and rust free!

I was drawn to the Berkshire set from Country Living by the exsquisite detailing in the decorative center piece and the fine continuity of detailing in the chair backs. Upon further investigation, the aluminum frame seems pretty stable and durable. It's versatile enough for me to be able to leave it in the hot sun or rain if I have to because of my work schedule. Just enough to get me through those hot summer days and cool nights (I hope). The oversized tiles that make up the table's top are great! I am in love again. So easy to do when you have so much great stuff to choose from!

I recommend this table to those interested in making a Raymour and Flanagan impact on a Kmart budget. The only drawback for me were the chairs. Check out my other review for those thoughts!

HaSalesKing says "Hours of fun!" about Ripstik Caster Board, Red

HaSalesKing — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 15:27:15 GMT

My 12 year old son made a list of somethings he wanted us to purchase for Christmas. First of all I had no idea what he was talking about when he put this item at the top of his list. Thank God for working in retail!

I gave the Caster Board Ripstick to him for a Christmasgift and man was I surprised. The first day he fell all day. He had so many bumps and bruises that I am so glad I made the correct choice in a median range helmet. But he got the hang of it in a few days. Now you can't seperate him from this toy!

He rides it all around the house (which he knows is a no no) and runs simple errands to our corner store and back. I think he favors this more than his bike! I have truly been educated about the impact of the Ripstick inmy son's life. It has helped himto become more independent and socially adapted. Who would have thunk it?

I recommend this to anyone with a child within the 11 - 13 agegroup. There are so many things they can learn besides the obvious riding.

HaSalesKing says "I saw this and I couldn't pass it up!" about Top-Flite Men's Argyle Print Mesh Golf Polo

HaSalesKing — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 15:27:14 GMT

The Men's Argyle Print Mesh Golf Polo was a great color choice by the Top Flite Apparel Team. Kudos! My style is definitely a throwback to the Revenge of the Nerds movie. I like to be preppy and stylish whether I dress down with jeans and then dress-up with khakis and shoes. This line appeals to my personal style of dress and I wish there were some additional color choices.

I purchase quite a bit of sweater vests and polos with this particular style, although I must say this color has not been in my wardrobe. I haven't seen this print with this color in my area so I just had to pick it up! I was impressed by the fabric. It seemed more sturdy with the option of prolonged wear ability because it wasn't cheesy and thin. Many manufacturers these days are opting for fabric choices that are thinner to create more profit, but I am glad that this wasn't a dissappointment. I would definitely recommend to anyone that is a true fan of polos! And remember you don't have to be a "golfer" to...

HaSalesKing says "The look of a boot and the comfort of a sneaker!" about Protege Men's Blackout Hi-Top Basketball Shoe - Black

HaSalesKing — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:53:32 GMT

This year's Blackout-Black sneaker from Protoge has me very excited. Itpicksup where the blue and orange ones fromlast saeason left off. It features a nice eye catching but simple design similar to some of the hottest athletic shoes around. It features the tastefully refreshing boot-like sneaker that is inthis season. So kudos for being a slave to fashion.

In addition I think this shoe has a comfortable insole. It allows you to "sink into" the shoe without feeling as though your feet are flat on the ground. Itoffers supportfor yourfeet and your calves. People can feel comfortable enough to wear this shoe for everyday walking (it will give you a work out) or casual dress in addition to sports. I think the wearability of this year's line wil be better since the shoes seem to be made more sturdy.

I absolutely am in love with this shoe and recommend this for serious athletes. It is very comparable to the higher priced competition out there. They are sleek, stylish, hip and best of all AFFORDABLE!...

HaSalesKing says "Love that color!" about Nintendo Wii Remote with MotionPlus - Pink

HaSalesKing — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:53:31 GMT

I was so pleased to see the new pink remote. I purchased this for Valentine's Day and it was a hit. My wife was screamiing and hollering that I found her remote. We had seen the commercial being advertised, but no retailer had them. I got lucky and found one on Valentine's morning!

HaSalesKing says "This color suits me!" about Nintendo Wii Remote with MotionPlus - Blue

HaSalesKing — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:53:29 GMT

I must say that I was surprised when I stumbled upon this remote. I had seen the new pink motionplus wii remote advertised but not this color. So when I purchased the pink one for the wife I got the blue one for me. Now our dock station looks fully multicultural. We now own the traditional black and white plus the blue and pink.

I just think they are so appealing to the eye. Sexy even with the shades they chose. I am completely happy with this purchase!

HaSalesKing says "Very Stylish and Eyecatching!" about Country Living Berkshire Patio Dining 6 Chairs

HaSalesKing — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:06:02 GMT

The Berkshire Dining set complete with 6 chairs is an elegant piece rightly suited for entertaining. I was impressed with the simple but artistic design seen centerpiece in the detailing on the back of the chairs.

It features a solid aluminum frame that is rust free. A definite must if you plan on leaving the chairs outside for extended periods without any cover.The chairs are made of a durable "sling" fabric material that is definitely stronger than it looks! 2 of the chairs in this set swivel adding another touch of class.

My only disappointment with the chairs was that they seem to be hollow and unable to handle someone that isn't quite a size 2 if you know what I mean. sigh........

There are additional pieces that you can purchase to complete your set:

chaise lounge
side table
umbrella
umbrella base
dining table

This week (2/28 - 3/6) the chairs are pictured in the Kmart ad for $599.00 ($200.00 off the regular price) with the table purchase! Now that's one heck of a deal.

HaSalesKing says "I threw my bandages away and brought this instead." about Skin Shield Liquid Bandage

HaSalesKing — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:00:37 GMT

Now guys I work with my hands alot since I work nights in a warehouse. My hands are always in and out of water trying to keep them clean which causes major issues because I'm always getting a cut or two somewhere.

I purchased the Skin Shield Liquid Bandages and it has helped me so much with my ongoing issue. It is a pain reliever, antiseptic, and a form fitted bandaid all in one! So many nights I would come into work with bandaid after bandaid that would be a memory as the night went on between moving pallets and washing my hands.

To apply, you work the applicator (that looks like a nail polish applicator) evenly over the affected area. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly first and if your cut is located near a joint make sure you bend it before application. BE WARNED it does have an antiseptic, so there will be a sting upon application. It provides a waterproof barrier that will protect your cut and allow it to heal. Only one drawback - can be difficult to remove (it's just that...

HaSalesKing says "Great Comeback Album!" about Whitney Houston I Look To You

HaSalesKing — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:00:37 GMT

I was so impressed by Whitney Houston's latest studio album I Look to You. There was so much drama surrounding this Newark, Nj native (my hometown) and her tumultuous relationship with Bobby Brown that true fans were left wondering if she would ever record again. Well she did!

I am very impressed with the body of work included on this album. Although Whitney will probably never be able to hit my favorite notes from I Will Always Love You or The Greatest Love of All, the vocal arrangements made what she had to offer sound great. In some respects she hasn't lost a thing.

Although the first single and album title I Look to You has been getting airplay on gospel, r&b, and pop stations that is not not my favorite. I am drawn to the passion in the track Like I Never Left featuring Akon and Nothing But Love which sets the tone for her life now. Giving back to her fans that have been patiently waiting. Another sleeper track is the moving I Didn't Know My Own Strength produced and written by R....

HaSalesKing — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:58:09 GMT

I am so in love with the Jaclyn Smith Today Palermo Table featuring the Lazy Susan!

This is one of the best attractions of the Jaclyn Smith today collection this year. The table itself is solid, sturdy, and features sound constuction. A must for a table that will be the centerpiece of your outdoor gatherings. The best feature is the lazy Susan. For us hostesses we appreciate you being able to serve yourselves as opposed to us walking around the table. I will definitely recommend this collection to anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor furniture!

Compared to others in the group these are among the most durable and sturdy. At this price it is definitely a great buy!

HaSalesKing says "A white appliance's best friend!" about Cooktop Cleaning Creme For Ranges

HaSalesKing — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:00:01 GMT

I am so happy about Cooktop's - Cleaning Creme For Ranges!

As a Major Appliances Sales Associate it is very difficult to maintain the appliances that we have on the salesfloor. We use a variety of products everyday to maintain that "sparkle" and this is one of them.

The primary purpose of the Cooktop's Cleaning Creme for Ranges is to remove residue from radiant electric ranges that feature ceramic cooktops. It allows you to use a non-abrasive cleanser to maintain your cooktop's integrity. Only a small amount is necessary for everyday spills so it should last you for some time. For best results use a non-metal scraper to remove "caked on" residue. Apply with a sponge or cloth spreading evenly accross the surface. Make sure to buff it out to remove all excess and you will have longevity in your cooktop usage.

I am a big fan of this product because I use it to remove scratches and difficult stains from merchandise on the salesfloor. I apply liberally as needed and buff out the excess leaving...

HaSalesKing says "Great Value" about Athletech Men's Solid Color Muscle Tee

HaSalesKing — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 23:08:32 GMT

I brought these in all the colors to have clothes for the gym (which I never have time to go to) with the matching shorts. The shirts fit well, are breathable, and wash and wear easily. They were a great value at the $4.98 price tag.

HaSalesKing says "To be a good you the inner must match the outer!" about 7 HAbits of Highly Effective People

HaSalesKing — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:22:51 GMT

Stephen R. Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a great book. It is celebrating a 15th edition reprint and the principles outlined within the book are still as relevant today as they were 15 years ago. Covey's professional background is in business. He is often sought as a lecturer and teacher on the principles that govern good managers.

In basically every job that I have held since I was 15 I have moved up to some level of management. The reality is that for various reasons I did not stay with those companies but I have always taken something from the experience that makes me who I am today. I learned from this book that in business work imitates life quite a bit. You can not be effective managing others if your household isn't managed well.

This book provides a guide to balance work and home so that they both are successful. To be honest the ideas in this book aren't "rocket science" but the tenacity and drive to get your vision accomplished seperates the men from the boys....

HaSalesKing says "Just grill and go!" about Aussie 4200.A113 Walkabout Charcoal Grill

HaSalesKing — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:18:35 GMT

I am in love with this Aussie Walkabout Charcoal Grill!

This grill is perfect for those summer outings at the park or beach. This grill is light, compact, and easily transportable from your home to that favorite destination. This grill features a spacious cooking area and you can easly fit nice size portions of your favorite foods. I love this grill because it relieves me of the stigma associated with the grills available in the parks. It's not so little that you can only fit a few burgers on it.

The grill comes completely assembled so I didn't have to wait an hour or so before I use it for the first time. I just parked it in my trunk and I am ready for the spring/summer season to begin!

I recommend this grill for all of those people who love to pick up and go and have summertime adventures. You can hit a different park in a different city every weekend!
