So I was out looking for an HV30 camcorder (successor to the highly popular HV20) and I was looking to get it for less than the MSRP. I found this site called Best Price Cameras that advertised it at ridiculously low prices. I come to find out this is classic bait and switch going on and do some research on these guys. Turns out they are notorious for ripping off people and on resellerratings.com they have a 0.18 out of 10.

Then I went to an even more credible source just to verify and the Better Business Bureau even has a file on these chumps.

Basically they advertise extremely low prices on say a camcorder. Except they sell only the camcorder itself and then use bait and switch to get you to buy overpriced batteries, filters, ect. and your total ends up being larger than than if you bought it at an accredited business. They also have numerous complaints on shipping being late and all sorts of other unethical practices.

  • You need to do more of these! They are great. Somehow they need to be stopped, or fu@# with. These people are scum, and deserve to die.

  • Well I don't know if they "deserve to die", but certainly be thrown in jail and return the money they stole would be nice :)

  • Ha! Thanks man, I almost dropped a grand at that place! Thank god for smart-asses like you! btw, very funny, but a little scary that these people get away with that shit.

  • exactly

  • Clearly you didn't watch the video. I did not buy anything from these people and this video is meant to inform those who may buy from these guys.

  • Thank you for posting this. I was always curious about what these scumbags sound like over the phone!

  • thanks for posting this! I HATE businesses like this.

  • Of the many NYC oddities, the mass amount of "tech stores" is always intriguing. They are in areas where I would happily plunk down $10 for an overpriced tschotske or may a tourist shirt or something. But camcorder or tablet PC? Who would do that? They seem entirely disreputable on the face of them, even if they happened to be legit. This is the internet version I think. There is a similar family store with some really cheapo tech that I go to in the midwest, but not for high $ stuff.

  • LOL..Scammers got OWNED :)

  • What the heck is up with customer service? They would be fired if I had them in my CO!

  • you want funny? watch customer diss-service.. search under frank noon and johnny on youtube

  • FUCK TO THE HELL HD CAMERAS my mini DV can do alot of shit, record from tv, and it has those fucking little tapes that look like midget VHS so adorable and shit and has 30 frames per second for 720*480 resolution, it has widdescreen mode, its optical zoom is 32X i can see detailed faces from 200 meters without artifacts. I spent like $500 on it, but it as firewire and stuff.

  • Brilliant! You exposed these con men perfectly.

  • Hey! I saw your video. I remeber looking at the website and thinking WOW! GREAT PRICE! Your video shows that the customer service person has a lack of incompetence. WTF does a "USA Model" have to do with anything? It would be NTSC or PAL. This guy has no idea whats going on. and LOL, Your responses are great! The "camera body" question was VERY interesting, you should have gone indepth with that.

  • Lol, It's hilarious how he became SUPER friendly after you said you were looking to spend around $1,000. His whole tone and pitch changed and everything.

  • Those DICKS!
