ever heard of 'em??

A friend is thinking of getting a camera...she ordered one today then dude called back and said they didnt have it in stock after all but were supposed to be getting one monday...she said to cancel the order and she'd look back monday...he evidently kinda wanted her to keep the order alive cuz he said if she canceled there was no guarantee that someone else wouldnt get the cam first.

She said she didnt see em on reseller ratings.

Any ideas??

Thanks, JP

I was wondering the same thing. I did find a couple of listings in yellow pages, which is a little better than nothing.

They check out with the Better Business Bureau.

http://www.newyork.bbb.org/nis/newse...21000000023021

0 complaints in the last 36 months. They might have less than 1 year with BBB, because there's no un/satisfactory rating, which the BBB site suggests they should have if they've been a BBB member for over a year.

The www.photo.net entry lenjack mentions is from 1998 and suggests the customer had a good experience.

My guess, since they're BBB is that they're probably real, but not too web-savvy. I'm going to order from them unless I get paranoid and change my mind.
