The times I did business at Crazy Eddie’s I had run into a lot of bait and switch.

I remember Crazy Eddie. They said that they would beat any advertised price. Bring in an ad from a competitor, and they would match or beat it.
Problem was, their prices were higher than the competition. If you didn't have an ad from a competitor, you overpaid for the merchandise. It was high pressure sales.

That guy was famous all over the country, even places far from where his commercials ran. He spawned the whole “crazy salesman” TV commercial genre. (Not a good thing)

He was only 68? So he was 35-40 when he was doing that? Jeez.

Crazy Eddie was nothing but a thief compared to Madman Muntz, whose self-taught engineering skills and methods are still influential today. He had a very interesting life.
