The Ugly Revisited

I knew it! Smelt it miles away! The camera site was using cheap prices to try and "bait and switch" potential customers. To cut a long story short I cancelled the digital SLR order. "Best Price Cameras", STAY AWAY FROM DEM!! DYAM TIEF!!
I called Friday for the status of my order, I was put on hold for a insulting amount of time, ended up hanging up.
Called Saturday and was told to look out for an email with an update on the transaction. Fine. Get an email Saturday nite just confirming that I had placed an order.
Called Monday morning pissed nuh r*ss! Demanded to know what was going on only to be told that the camera doesn't come with half the accessories that are supposed to be in the FACTORY-SEALED box, and then comes: "So do ya still wannit?". I ponder, it is still a decent deal, I say "Yes send it and email me the UPS tracking number."
"Hold on one minute sir,..........(3 minutes pass)...................well looks like that one is out of stock, however we have blah blah whatever ....." that is obviously a lot more inferior and WAY overpriced. I tell him to cancel immediately and stop trying to screw people up the a**s, after all it is Christmas.
Anyway, fear not, I intend to order another before the week is out. As an eBay veteran I will probably go and see what kinds of deals they have. I sold heaps of reggae records there so I am very familiar with the ins and outs, tricks and scams that tend to accompany e-auctions. Then again I will probably break down and just pay full price for the thing.
Pics soon come!

Glad you got to the bottom of that before you received it. Can't wait to see the pics once you post them.
