My wife bought a point and shoot camera at the  On Line Camera Gallery store on fisherman's wharf. Granted it is tourist area so I figure paying twice what it costs on Amazon is fair but not three times and more. She went in to check out a camera in the window listed at 199.00 and got switched to a model that ended up getting charged at nearly double..

Here is the items at On Line Camera Gallery:

Samsung PL200 Point and Shoot Camera - $349.99

My wife is from Uruguay and used her Maestro Card from her bank there where her account is in dollars. I am sorry I did not catch this until we got home and were away from San Francisco when I checked our travel receipts. I checked online and saw that there were similar complaints against this business that is plainly stealing the tourists in this district of San Francisco. I hope something c an be done. I put the address and phone numbers of my family who live in San Diego California in this complaint. We live outside the USA. Gary Ghirardi

I would like at least half this cost refunded to my wifes Maestro Card as I think that offers them a fair profit on these items. That would be a refund of $300.00. That gives them more than a $100 profit over the Amazon Price. That seems more than fair . Gary Ghirardi
