I believe he was asserting that 50% off sales for that product don't exist. I haven't researched the matter for the product in question but I can think of other products for which 50% off sales are unheard of. I've made (or attempted to make) online purchases for which the price looked too good to be true. Haven't sneaked one by yet ;-) but as long as I'm paying by credit card I'm not worried about being ripped off. Once, when I was young and foolish, I made a purchase from Cambridge Camera (OK, since we're talking about Cambridge Camera, perhaps "young and foolish" should be replaced with "young and dumb as a bag of hair"...) and they really tried to rip me off. But, mainly because I documented the transaction well and paid by credit card, they failed to do so. In fact, I quite got the better of them. For details, meet me around the campfire at GFM some time :) -- 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.
