I was going to something similar after my experience with these people, but yours is so thorough I thought I'd post here. <BR/><BR/>Barclay's is now accusing the USPS of tampering with packages and taking the expensive items. They don't insure their shipments and leave you short hundreds of dollars, without your merchandise, and they assume no responsibility for the product once shipped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493276.post-1136083775981790972005-12-31T18:49:00.000-08:002005-12-31T18:49:00.000-08:00Great job informing the un-suspecting public of theses scam artists at PriceRitePhoto!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493276.post-1135543897790288872005-12-25T12:51:00.000-08:002005-12-25T12:51:00.000-08:00Trademark, not copyright.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493276.post-1135206345843025272005-12-21T15:05:00.000-08:002005-12-21T15:05:00.000-08:00<B>Film4Less.com is in no way affiliated with PriceRitePhoto - Barclay's Photo, or with the use of film4less as a user name on ebay.

As I recall, companies like <I>Global Bargain Hunters</I> aka <I>diamonds_by_nicole</I> aka <I>shenoa_and_co</I> seemed to suffer from multiple personality disorder. If you do a search - you will notice that they all use the same (unknown) certification company, NGL, or National Gemological Laboratories.<BR/><BR/>I was interested in making a purchase, but considering the price, I thought it best to inspect the merchandise before hand. I first visited <I>Shenoa and co</I> in NYC, and didn't find what I was looking for. I gave a call to <I>Global Bargain Hunters</I>, asking for the exact address. They gave me the exact same address as <I>Shenoa</I>! I was shocked. I went in, again they didn't have the items I was looking for. I called back and the vendor on the line was extremely rude, and told me that the merchandise wasn't in the state and so it could not be inspected before purchase. He then said angrily, "are you going to buy something today or what?" I felt like I was speaking with a closer. I am very curious how these companies maintain their feedback score. Of course, I didn't buy from them, so I couldn't leave feedback.<BR/><BR/>At the time, I also noticed that Shenoa and Global Bargain Hunters seemed to be selling the exact same piece of merchandise on ebay! This is because the pictured certifications were identical! I contacted ebay about TOS violations - and decided that I would never buy a high-value item from an online retailer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493276.post-1134756588475720642005-12-16T10:09:00.000-08:002005-12-16T10:09:00.000-08:00It might be useful to research the addresses where these businesses are registered. You can find out who owns any building in NYC at <BR/><BR/>http://gis.nyc.gov/doitt/mp/Portal.do <BR/><BR/>The "Building Information System" link has lots of additional info.<BR/><BR/>More stuff can be found at<BR/><BR/>http://a836-acris.nyc.gov/scripts/docsearch.dll/index<BR/><BR/>You might not find records on these specific businesss, but you can at least find out who their landlord is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493276.post-1134616432924314472005-12-14T19:13:00.000-08:002005-12-14T19:13:00.000-08:00You're my hero!!

I had a very very foul experience with a seller by the name of "super.good.deals". The person had 6500 positive feedback, and we ordered 30ish disposable cheap cameras for our wedding, for guests to use. when they didnt come initially(took almost 2 months total), I tried to contact them via email. no response, no response. it was getting to about 2 weeks before we left for our wedding across the country, and I threatened bad feedback if not recieved. She threatened me with bad feedback if I posted bad on hers, so being the obstinate person I am, I immediately posted bad about my experience there. they immediately posted bad feedback on us and said they would only withdraw it if we agreed to withdraw ours. I dont know about you, but I view this as extortionistic in nature, and I was having none of it. I flat refused and posted onto their feedback a response, which at the time was appropriate. <BR/><BR/>My entire point is, neutrals dont count against bad feedback, negatives can and are regularly removed after the seller pressures the buyer with bad feedback. The ebay feedback system is seriously broken and designed to cater to the vendors. <BR/><BR/>just my 2c. for a more detailed description of the events that transpired(I think I even still have all the emails), write me at j/m/o/r/g/a/l/i/@/h/o/t/m/a/i/l/./c/o/m<BR/><BR/>(sorry for the slashes)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493276.post-1134591778540089332005-12-14T12:22:00.000-08:002005-12-14T12:22:00.000-08:00Love that idea.
