In 2010 I ordered a television from Abe's of Maine. I had to call and confirm my order, which ended up being an up-sell, but some of the things I needed, so I agreed.

This year, they were having a Black Friday deal on a television I was interested in, a Samsung KS8500 series 4K curved screen in 65". So, I placed the order online, from this page: abesofmaine.com/Samsung_UN65KS8500F_-_65_Curved_LED_Smart_TV_-_4K_UltraHD_1028782.html

This was on November 25. On December 4, I received the email requesting I call to confirm the order and speak with Jeff.

Today, December 5, I call and Jeff tells me that they "over-sold" the number of televisions they had in stock and I'd have to pay another $400 for the  "residential" model of the television, which is what's sold by other retailers. The one I ordered was supposedly the "commercial" model and was made more cheaply and didn't have all the same features as the residential model. The page makes no mention of the set being a commercial model or otherwise, and, if you search the manufacturer part number on the page (UN65KS8500FXZA), you get the same television set told by Amazon, Best Buy, and several other retailers.

I felt like this was false and Jeff suggested that I can cancel the order and call back if I want to purchase. So I had them cancel the order.

Basically, beware this company and their bait and switch tactics. What was a pleasant experience 6 years ago was not so much this year.

I'll need to monitor my credit card statement to ensure I don't get charged for this.
