Thanks, Boris. You're absolutely right. I let my generally benign view of retailers get the best of me. And as I said, I might eventually have proceeded with the transaction, just not at that time, under that offer. Perhaps the lesson I should take from this is retailers, and business in general, are just not to be trusted: Read the fine print. Carefully. And they say "the market" doesn't need to be regulated? That we should just trust them? As for shouting angrily, with the exception of following up on the suggestion that I send an email to the customer advocate at Adorama, I think I've gotten about what I can expect from it. I have to say my dealings with individuals on eBay have been more principled than this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- 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.
