Note: This comment is COMPLETELY unrelated to SD / Logitech products.... Sounds like that retailer is doing the old retailer low ball scheme we've had here in the US for many years. They advertise a very low price (lower than anyone else) to get you to order, then ask you to "confirm" your online order with a phone call. Then they hard sell you on the "extras" (cables, carrying cases, add-ons, extended warranties, etc...) and if you don't buy enough "extras" then they are suddenly out of stock of your requested item. To make matters worse, many of these "extras" are items included in the box from the mfr. Anonymously call back in ten minutes to the same retailer, ask for the price on the same item (now quoted MUCH higher over the phone) and viola! .... it is mysteriously back in stock. :) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62265 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
