Sharper Image latest scam against all buyers of Isis puzzle. I bought one of these as it seemed like a one of a kind collectable and a lot of fun as they call it the worlds most difficult puzzle and inside each is a code that you can redeem for a prize at S.I. Worth $50-$2000.
Now this puzzle is a metal sphere with three turning bands with heiroglyphics which must be lined up in the order of the encrypted clues enclosed with the puzzle, not being able to find any cryptogrophy that would read these I find out the only way to decode this mess is to send S.I. Another $100 for the encryption clues.By this time I have figured out this thing is no puzzle but a lock.
The instruction manual states standard S.I. Dogma on the highest quality products and their libereral return policy, but... The web page and printed catalogs say due to the uniqueness of this product they will not accept any as returns.
The next big lie is that these are designed by a magician in the U.K. And manufactured entirely in the U.K.By highly skilled craftsmen, can, t say it was, nt designed as stated but it is definatly made in china as printed clearly on the box in tiny print of course.
Well guess what, I took mine back to the store and asked for my money back but the trained monkey who talked to me said no it was against store policy, I immediatly asked for the manager and went over the duplicitous nature of this product, he was genuinly amused and chuckled over every point but eventually gave me my money back.
If this interests you at all you should enter into search "dim image for sharper image business week", quite a detailed record of methods they have used to falsly manipulate their stock values.
