86th Street Photo & Video SCAM... RUN AWAY... New York Internet

This place is a SCAM. They advertise low priced cameras and then if they are unable to up-sell you on over-priced accessories, they will indefinitely place your item on 'backorder'. I ordered a Canon S5 online (it was 'in stock' when I called to verify) in Feb and suddenly when I didn't by any accessories I got my first "temporarily out of stock" e-mail reply. I decided to be patient instead of cancel and have since (2 months later) received 2 more of these "out of stock" e-mails (even though I called them periodically and they say they have them).

I called today and spoke with someone who refused to give his name, refused to let me speak with a supervisor and then hung up on me. I called back and said I would report him to the BBB and he said juvenille things like "oooh, I'm scared". This place is NOT a legitimate business. RUN, RUN, RUN away! They have an unsatisfactory rating with the New York BBB - you can go to http://search.newyork.bbb.org and search their name. I'm just bummed that they have my credit card number. The owner also operates under the name wisetronic.com so BEWARE!
