<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 363412, member: 12965&quot;]Internet retailers are something else! :desk:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The new one I went with had the same camera listed for the same price as the other place and I had the webpage still up from when I made my initial call 2 hours ago and when I just called back to place the order, the price had gone up by $20. I told the salesperson I was looking at the price on my screen (laptop) and it said $189 and he was adamant it said $209 but I stuck to my guns and he backed down to the $189 price, then I hit the refresh button and . . . wah-la . . . there it was, $209. Since they soaked me $49 for shipping to get it here by Friday, I figured I deserved the original price and I got it but he did everything he could to get me to buy all kinds of accessories. He even gave me a bunch of doo-dads for free but I wouldn&#039;t budge from my original order (camera &amp; 2G high speed memory stick). In the end, I got the camera (with factory accessories), 2G high speed memory stick ($129), free bag, free cleaning kit (I can&#039;t hold back my excitement over that one), free table top tripod (every coin collector needs that . . . right?), and a free something else (I forgot what it was because I was still overcome with so much excitement about getting a free cleaning kit). :goof: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As much as they charged for the 2G high speed memory stick, I should have gotten the camera for free too. :mouth: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, the big question is . . . will it be here by Friday? :computer: I&#039;m tired of not being able to photograph my coins and now I will need something to do this weekend, since the friggin camera &amp; memory stick practically broke me and I won&#039;t be able to buy much on FleaBay. So if it&#039;s not here Friday, I won&#039;t be a nice little toadie to be around, after what I went through with the other internet retailer! :headbang:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: I originally went with 86th Photo &amp; Video. The new one probably isn&#039;t any better, Techon Digital, but at least I got a verbal promise the camera will be here NLT Friday. You don&#039;t have to worry about me keeping you informed because if it isn&#039;t here Friday, everyone will know it. :headbang:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
