Ya, and just for kicks, I put one of their $949 2GB CF cards in a shopping
cart...and had
them "estimate shipping costs."

UPS Ground came to $49...for a 1 ounce item.

So...that's $1000.00 for a $29 card.


Is anyone this stupid?

The sad answer is... Apparently so.

Oh c'mon. They're "ultra high speed" AND "error free" AND they're clearly
designated for the "PRO." What do you want them to do, give this stuff
away?!

If you're cheap you can save your self some money and pick up the slow,
error-prone 2GB card for Only $749.

Geesh, pay attention guys.

I think Broadway Photo is in a price war with Preferred Photo.

http://www.preferredphoto.com/result...sort=3&page=15

According to the Contact info on their websites, these two are
next-door neighbors on E 89th Street in Brooklyn.


I don't know if Don Wiss is lurking, but he has posted pictures of
camera dealers in Brooklyn. He oughta get a medal or something for it,
too.

What is there to say except "caveat emptor"? These guys can only make
money from those dumb emough not to shop or check reviews (like
resellerratings.com). Who would buy from someone with this rating,

Just a thought unrelated to whateverthehellitisyou'rearguingabout.

Rather than an "All stores average" it would be interesting to see a
histogram of how many stores hit 0-1, 1-2, ... 9-10 in buyer ratings.

Cheers,

Which is why the scumbags set up their own fake ratings websites, see

It staggers me that these stores are allowed to stay in business.
