86th Street Photo and Video complaint by Mary6399

I ordered a camera online and recieved an email stating to call them to confirm my order. I called and the man tried to sell me a upgrade to my memory card and battery for the camera. He told me that the memory card I purchased would only hold 2 pictures and the battery would only last 5 minutes and that I needed an upgrade in order to purchase the camera.

The price of his upgrade was an additional $200 (camera cost $125). This included a 2 Gig memory card and a rechargeable battery. I told him I did not want those upgrades because i could easily find a much better price somewhere else. After arguing with me for 5 minutes, he told me that if I didn't order the upgrades that I couldn't have the camera. Then he told me that I wasted HIS time.

This was the worst online shopping experience I have ever had. Do not order from this company!!!

Right I hear you. He tried to do the ol' bait and switch routine on you. Shop locally. And don't be an idiot buying from a place called "86th street photo and video".
