Yeah, I bought a webcam from a small electronics store in NYC, right off of Canal St (right there I should have known), and it was a piece of junk. the list price was $70, but when I was gonna walk away, the guy knocked it to $50. I was suckered, I bought it, thing wasn't worth $10, its max resolution was 320x240 and you couldn't make out the picture.
So I moved out of the city. On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 9:48 AM, Incognito <[email protected]> wrote: > > Small electronics stores in NYC are the worst.
