I bought a camera at this store on 7/16/04, I was quoted $290.00 which I thought was a good deal. The salesman (Joey) said he would even "throw in" a 256 memory card for the digital camera. I signed the credit card receipt and left. A couple days later I checked my credit card statement on the internet and was shocked to see that I had been charged $540.00! (I never paid attention to the amount at time of signing) I immediately contacted the store and told them that that was rediculous, and I wanted a complete refund.
They said they don't give refunds, and the reason it was that amount, was because the memory card held the difference in value. I told them that I had not requested the memory card as the camera actually comes with a 32 memory card, and that they had said that they were "throwing that in" Joey then offered me a spare battery as compensation which I declined to take.
I believe that they lied to me about the charge, and then illegaly charged my card with almost double the original quote.
Stores like this prey on tourists and we need to take a stand.
