Hey all, as you know I am making my DSLR purchase soon.
In fact, yesterday I got my income tax check in... which I got excited about, but also nervous because it means I need to make my decision like... NOW!
lol
SO I have been looking on eBay, as you all know, but I really think I've decided to go against that, and buy from a reuptable source.
But I learned something. Don't take the 98% to be good. I started reading through one persons comments, and understandable there were some negatives, as is with almost anyone on eBay. What bothered me was actually their RESPONSES to the negative feedback. Usually responses are "Will call and try to work this out" or "WIll fix w/customer"... but this one company, who claims to be the LARGEST CAMERA STORE IN THE WORLD, had these gems: (my favorite is where he talks bad about the quality of the item he's selling calling it a 50 cent tripod)
Comment: Bait & Switch. Demanding Another $799 Over Sales Price 4 Service I Didn't Want.

Tripod not included as promised, no response to my requests
Reply by barclaysphoto: so becse you didn't get a 50 cent mini tripod you leave us a neg thats laughable

Reply by barclaysphoto: folks he is referring to the auxillary lenses..what did he want original lenses?
bully tactics in sales, order wasn't processed, threatened to leave + feedback!
Reply by barclaysphoto: All we did was offer an extra battery and a flash... thats not bully tactics
