good luck...let us know after you get ripped off what you think of them...

Here's what someone wrote about the vendor on this website: http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15222

"The Company you are referring to has it's URL registered under 1151 McDonald Ave, Brooklyn, NY, which (when doing a google search of the address) also came up as the address of All Star Camera. http://www.resellerratings.com/seller2252.html). When doing a whois search of both companies, the have different URL addresses, and also different admins (however both are named simon). I would say that the companies are the same and I would definitely stay away from both."

Dear Evjen,

I am Barrister Martins Dike. (SAN), a Solicitor; I am the Personal

Attorney to one Engr. Michael Evjen, a national of your country, who Used to be

a contractor with NNPC here in Nigeria. On the 10th October 2002 my

client, his wife and entire family were involved in a car accident along 3rd

mainland bridge Express Road Lagos Island. Unfortunately they all lost

their lives in the event of the accident, since then I have made several

inquiries to their Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this

has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several Unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his

Relatives, to locate any member of His family but of no avail, hence I contacted

you since you bear the same surname to my late client. I contact you to

assist in repatriating the money in addition, property left behind by my

client before they get Confiscated or declared Unserviceable by the bank where

these huge deposits were lodged.

Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at

about US$7 million dollars. Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to

provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten

official working days. Since I have been Unsuccessful in locating the relatives

for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin

of the deceased, regardless of your country, with your name/address; some

vitals will be obtained on your favor which will back you as the next

of kin the deceased. The proceeds of this account valued at US$7 Million

dollars can be Paid to you and then you and me can share like this 45% for me

and 45% for you, while we will set aside 10% to pay back for any expenses

or tax as your government may require. I have all necessary legal documents

that can be used to back up any claim we may make.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal

through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate

arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

you don't have to be a blood relative of my client to claim this

inheritance. Pls reply so that I can elucidate on how to proceed next,

Please Reply urgently to enable us discuss further. Via this E-mail

Best Regards,

Barrister Martins Dike. (SAN)

thecamerapros.com had a typo and initially had the AVIC-D3 listed for $699.99

The guy who wanted to buy my AVIC-D3 showed me the link and I called them to verify. They told me that it was a typo and when I refreshed their page I saw the new price of $829.99 + 39.99 s/h.

I wonder if they'll honor that price if someone ordered it at $699.99.

$745 is what I get the d3's for, hope this helps someone negotiate

I contacted them about the same issue. I have yet to hear a response, but I plan on filing a complaint with the BBB, FTC & post a comment on the consumerist.com if they fail to meet the price they posted. It's a classic case of bait & switch where they deflate the price to drive customers to their website pnly to demostrate a different price.

do you actually think that will do anything?

I just called a local "electronic giant" like a curciut city type and i told them crutchfield was giving me the D3 for $850. they said they would price match. Can you guys show me how to get a cart set up from any reputable website to show the D3 for about $850. Hopefully they honor their word............ I'm gonna throw a fit in the store if they dont cause i know they try and pull that crap sometime. They also siad its in their warehouse but if i request one they can have it to me by moday or tuesday. i told them if not i would cancel............

so your gonna "throw a fit " in the store cause you are trying to scam them?

NO i'm not trying to scam them. There are sites on the net offering the D3 for the 850 range, i'm just scared to risk my money with them. Plus wasnt crutchfield giving 15% off with accesories?

BTW i said reputable site, so i am hoping somone is selling it for that price, its just i rather buy it in person to avoid shipping and since they claim to have it in stock.

That's because everyone wants everything cheap and now. Customer comes in and starts whining it's a surefire way NOT to get what they want.

you guys wonder why you get treated like crap when you walk into stores, and ask whatever happened to customer service.

it went out the window because you want something for nothing

I did 'Find a store' search @ Pioneer Electronics website (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/dealer/locator/results/0,,2076_310069583,00.html) for AVIC-D3 and called the closest store in Massachusetts (i.e. CD'S ACQUISITION, INC.). They have D3 in stock.

I asked them if they can do a price match of $850 and told them that i'm getting that deal from crutchfield.com. They told me they'll do price match only if I have it installed from them.

So I think I'll just buy it from them and have it installed over the weekend.

Screw CF.

Cheers!

Hey T, Its the consumers job to BARGAIN!!!!! if the store is dumb enough to sell it below the profit margin they need thats their fault. Believe me they will price match at the proper price. If they couldnt afford it they wouldnt.

I just found a local store that has the D3 in stock! they want $849.99 and thats not a price match, thats their straight up price.

Do you guys think this is a good deal. They said they are authorized and all that stuff.

where did u get it for that cheap?

where did u get it for that cheap?

I'll let you guys know once i find out that they are really authentic. Maybe by tomorrow.
