86th street photo

[Daniel 13655]

Ordered a Sony A200 two-lens kit from them and got the same e-mail others have described -- need to call them to confirm the order. When I called and confirmed, I was asked by good ol' Steve why I hadn't ordered a battery and charger as well. I replied, naive fool that I am, that I don't need to -- it's included in the kit. After a session of "no, it's not -- yes it is", I opened the ad in his web site and read off the list of included items, which listed (as you all already know) the appropriate Sony battery and charger. Steve's reply? "The web site's wrong -- has been for a while." After I had thoroughly angered this scammer for a while, he finally demanded that I cancel the order, which I gladly did. My wife, not to be left out, called Steve back and asked to talk to his superior, for which she was treated to a minute or so of verbal abuse. I personally think she got a kick out of making him madder. Moral: AVOID 86TH STREET PHOTO, NO MATTER WHAT!!! Thanks for listening (reading).
