I'd be surprised if Staples didn't have similar disclaimers to their on line sale items. This whole thing is silly. No one was trying to rip anyone off. Only the truly paranoid could see this as anything other than a mistake - the kind of thing that's statistically almost certain to happen eventually. The customer was never in danger of losing his money. B&H is the most reliable and reputable company in the business. What a lot of fuss over nothing. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
