![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I ordered a battery charger and got cancellation emails that the charger is discontinued. But it is a plain lie. The charger is a new model (BC-700) from La Crosse. If they don\u0027t want to sell it at their advertised price, just say it. Very disappointing and unsatisfactory experience with them.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/X_treme_Geek\/review\/424215#comment424215","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/X_treme_Geek.jpg","store_name":"X-treme Geek","username":"myopetz","rating":"1"}, "single");){kind=link}

In fact, the seller\u0027s website still lists this item for sale and only \u0022temporarily sold out.\u0022 The fact is, this seller lied instead of facing up to the fact that it picked a price point for this item that apparently was not profitable. <br><br>I probably would not have written this review if the seller had been truthful about what might have been a \u0022misprice\u0022 -- but I cannot stand dishonest merchants.<br><br>I will never place another order with this seller and I urge any reader to carefully consider whether you want to -- there are plenty of *reputable* e-tailers available with competitive prices.

I was pleasantly surprised to be able to pick up some inexpensive adapters and add-on\u0027s for video game systems from this merchant to accompany Christmas gifts.

"Just like many others placed an order for the LaCrosse BC-700 battery charger when it was on special. It was marked as in-stock and was so listed for hours after my order. The next day got an email that the order was canceled since the manufacturer discontinued the product. Funny, since Amazon seems to have plenty of them. Sounds to me like a bait-and-switch operation."
