Ok I figured whats the harm in calling? Well no real harm done just wasted time and if you take it as a verbal sparring match some entertainment - minimal may be had. BTW I sold cars for 8 years so a little pressure, bait and switch and those ever popular and profitable dealer packs are mere staples of an expected table setting.
I'll tell you this these guys have NO intention of selling at advertised web price on anything. In case thats unclear let me restate that in a more direct manner the product YOU WANT is NAILED to the floor, or in stock but back-ordered ,or in stock but on order due tomorrow the day after or pick a date not so far in the future. They hook you with the lowball and then hammer with low rent accessories and "pack" items warranties protection plans etc. which aint low rent after they mark em up. So lets say you stick to your guns and JUST say NO to the bad Dealer lol. Well if you manage to get them to take your order which may mysteriously end up back-ordered until the next batch fall off the ocean freighter in malaysia and make their way here or you get tired of waiting a few weeks or more down the line - well they probably wont thank you when you eventually grow tired of waiting and cancel but they should since they got to sit on your money for all that the time.
The few glowing reviews which prevent these guys from falling off the charts here lol. Are undoubtedly Shill posters from the shop notice the pattern about 30 really lousy and correct posts followed by two - three top notch ones then thirty more correct then ... you get the idea STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THESE GUYS THEY WILL NOT SELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT AT THE PRICE YOUVE SEEN PERIOD
P.S. I thought I would add this after the fact....
OK Here is one more bit of what I consider to be highly suspicious evidence. Examine the "GLOWING" reviews of this merchant. Notice if you will the fact that all the accounts are.
A. no longer active
B. reviewers have only reviewed this merchant - nothing else
AND HERES THE SMOKING GUN....
C. Notice regardless of the date of review or the name of the reviewer most of the accounts are grouped as members since the SAME DATES HMMMMMM.... Ok look at salc22 dt1, very pleased dt1 (this name kills me lol), jessica dt2, jacimi dt1, camera lover dt1 fuggle11 dt1 zeich dt1 all the list same date may 14. the next group of posts are members from may22.(click on the reviewers name to get the skinny)
It might just be me but dontcha think that just 1 of these posters would have reviewed somthing else - anything else? I smell shills, it wouldnt surprise me if the reviewers all of a sudden made a second review before dropping outa sight lol but I doubt it it takes too much energy running a scam.
