TheDigitalNerds Digital Camera 'Out of Stock' when you don't upgrade/buy SD cards Internet
I ordered Casio Exilim Hi-Zoom EX-V7, 7.2 Megapixel with 7x Optical/4x Digital Zoom Camera for $ 229 from these guys. This is a good price for a good camera. They gave the option to buy accessories from them, I did not do so.
They confirmed my order, then sent me an email asking me to call their 'support' department to confirm my order. When I called, they told me that the camera needs an SD card to work. I said that I was aware of this. Then they asked if I wanted to change the order and get an SD card. I said no, they wanted to know why not. I said that I thought that I could get them locally, cheaper. They asked how much it would cost and I said that I could get the cards I needed for about $50. At that point they said that they no longer had the camera - it was 'out of stock' - and they were cancelling my order.
This is a variation on the old 'bait and switch'. They are baiting using a very good price on the camera, and then essentially forcing the purchaser to buy accessories at inflated prices. If you are unwilling to get those accessories, they cancel your order.
