Hi, Cotty, Yup. AFAIK, it comes in several guises, either trying to get the customer to buy a more expensive product - "for only a couple of dollars more, you can get..." - or even worse, sell off an inferior product (often a house brand) purportedly of equal or better quality - "now that used Super Multi Coated Takumar 3.5 35mm is a fine lens, but for the same money, you can get a brand new Supergon 4.0 35mm, under full warranty. We've sold thousands, and our customers report that it's tack sharp, yadda, yadda, yadda..."
It's not an illegal practice, AFAIK, unless, they never did have the Tak 35mm in the first place, but only advertised it to get calls so they can flog the Supergon. It does happen... regards, frank Cotty wrote: > >bait and switch > > I've got a good idea, but can someone please spell this out for me. What > does it mean?
