Royal Camera
Will not sell or ship to uk unless you buy 3 overpriced accessories Ripoff

I found what appeared to be a very reasonably priced camera, which I ordered on-line. I then received an e-mail from Royal Camera asking me to TELEPHONE from them to confirm the order. I did this and the salesman then told me i needed a $400 memeory card or else the camera won't work. Which I refused to believe and told him that when i tested one in a shop it worked fine on my memory card. I was then offered lenses, I informed him I have all the lenses i require, he then went on to batteries, I told him that the one that came with it would be just fine. I was then informed that

"the manger wouldn't allow him to sell a camera to an international buyer without them purchasing a minimum of 3 accessories."

Surely this is illegal!!!

However if I was a US purchaser, and the goods were to be sent to a US address it would be okay.

I then asked to speak to the manager, I was put on hold. After a couple of minutes the guy came back and informed me that i would have to wait approximatley 26 minute to speak with the manager. At this point I asked the salesman to cancel my order.
