Ra-Lin is a specialized, small department store which combines select merchandise to sell. For example, they sell electronics(television, stereos, home theater systems, phones, GPS etc…), appliances(ovens, washers, dryers, refrigerators, etc…), cameras and photo services, jewelry, and collectibles. Under the same roof, they have a sporting goods section devoted to firearms, archery. I understand, although I could be incorrect, that this sporting goods section is a separate business which merely rents space in Ra-Lin.There are 2 separate web sites: and My experiences involve researching and shopping for a home theater system. I have the widescreen TV but, the sound is quite deficient. I had been looking for a sound bar as a solution and my search results seemed affordable but, testing and hearing one was a challenge. Even though I thought I could spend only $ 300 or so, I refused to buy one without hearing and comparing different models. This is one area where Ra-Lin shines. I decided to go to Ra-Lin after shopping online and at big box stores. The advantage Ra-Lin presents is multi faceted: a very good selection, competitive pricing and knowledgeable, very helpful, patient no pressure sales people. I am not a most geeky technophile however, I know what I like. «I’m no artist but I know art when I see it» to paraphrase Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart. I digress. I got great service, was greeted pleasantly, tested and heard as many sound systems as I chose and finally made a choice on a great Boston Acoustics home theater sound system which is far superior to any sound bar I thought I wanted. I took advantage of their lay away plan which allows for 30 days but, I easily negotiated for 60 days. Each time I visited the store to make a payment, I perused their camera and photography department. I did not buy anything and informed the sales person I was not in a position to do so but, I still received courteous attention. Great place with down to earth service that truly serves the customer.
