I too was almost taken by this sham of a company. I had been searching for several weeks for a Canon EOS 20D or 30D. BestPriceCameras came up on top in a Google Search. They advertised a "kit" for the EOS 30D, which included the camera, two lenses, tripod, memory card, lens cleaning kit, etc... I placed my order online and on the last page, it indicated that to "Expedite your order, call 1-800-281-1724"
Well, I called the number and someone named Lyle came on and was cordial at first, asking if this was my first digital camera, etc... He then ran down the list of what I would be receiving, confirmed my credit card number, then asked if I wanted the $375 power supply or the $525 power supply.
When I questioned why these were not included in the box as sold by other retailers, he began to get very rude with me. "You must know what the camera is worth, all other websites do the same thing" he said. I told him I wanted the kit at the price stated, with a power supply as included by the manufacturer. His response was "Don't waste my time" and put me on hold for 20 minutes. I hung up.
He eventually called back and proceeded to try to bully me into coughing up an extra $500 above the advertised price. He then tried to talk me down to the Canon 20D. I told him to cancel my order. He badgered me for awhile and when I wouldn't back down, he eventually said "I will have to cancel your order" and hung up.
My advice is to stay far, far away from these con artists.
