"Received my order quicker than was told. It came in great shape. I would order from them again."

"PLEASE NOTIFY A FEDERAL OFFICE TO SHUT DOWN THIS FRAUDULENT BUSINESS!!!!!!!!"

"Don't waste your time and risk giving away your personal data. I wish I had read this site before my purchase. The same old sophmorish "verify your card" trick. Very rude person wanting me to buy the one year manufacturer's warranty, and I quote...."which by law...manufacturers can't offer on mail order TVs" and their web site stipulates one-year warranties for everything they sell. Same as below. When I questioned the practice, obnoxious, boorish and childish is the only way to describe the response. By the way, I think the way they get by the pricegrabber site rating in particular is that they may contend there never was a "valid" order since a "real" salesperson had not formally approved the internet sale. There really should be a law against this kind of activity. "

"I had a worthwile experience with them. The fabulous bargain was worth the extra few minutes to confirm the order."

"Thanks for the feedback. Saved me a big headache. Almost hitting the order button for a Sony Bravia XBR KDL-52XBR4, I am so glad I came here first!
First noticed:
RESELLERRATINGS ADMIN NOTES
We detected and disabled 50+ fraudulent "Very Satisfied" reviews for this merchant.

No doubt the sellers themselves because you can't have this many DISSATISIFED customers (600+) and expect ANYONE to truly be satisfied. And then headed to this site to read the numerous aliases: http://sheddingsomelight.com/buy-cameras/list/dealers-bwayfam.html

Just goes to show, it pays to check EVERYONE out before purchasing online! "

"This company claimed to sell a refurbished DSC-H2 camera for $177. When I made the purchase online on November 1, 2007, they later called me to tell that I would have to call them to confirm the order. When I finally contacted them a few days later the salesperson on the line immediately tried to sell me several other products that went along with the camera. I told him I did not need them. When he told me he would include 2 camera lenses that were the same value as Sony lenses costing $179.00, I agreed to purchase them. Then he told me that the whole package of products which I did not want but included an extended warranty would only cost $20 more, so I agreed to purchase the whole package. for a total cost of $399.00

Upon reviewing the camera lenses I find that the actual cost of them is $40 (found at another website: http://www.goshotcamera.com/product/...d_Cameras.html) and the lenses are defective. So I have purchased a $177 camera for a cost of $399 and now am the proud owner of cheap camera lenses that are worthless to me.

I am usually more cautious about my Internet purchases. However this time I had thought this company was reputable because I'd lived in NYC years ago and thought I'd had made some worthwhile telephone purchase from them at the time. Now I see from reading the above and my own experience with them that I have been deceived.

I just filed an online complaint at:

http://www.oag.state.ny.us/online_fo...aint_alert.jsp"

"Classic. Just classic. I thought I might be ok because their 'yahoo' ratings were good. Obviously, they found a way to exploit the system and enter information to get their ratings up because they are scammers. I tried to order a Sony KDL-52XBR4 from them for $2861, and got the standard 'call us back for verification' email so I did - then came the bait and switch that I was expecting. I thought I might be ok with this company as long as I deny all the upsells they will try and deny the warrenties. Well ok, so then I thought I was still good then came the 'did I want the japanese import version or the U.S. version?' This I was not expecting. I asked what the difference was. They said the US version was $3199 plus shipping and that the japanese version onscreen controls was all in japanese and also wouldn't work with any of my home equipment - ie cable, dvr, etc. This is when I tried to cancel and they got angry and very aggressive. I said 'cancel cancel cancel' like a thousand times before finally the guy was like "I'm sorry to tell you this, but just a piece of advise for your life - you do not know what you are doing" then he hung up on me. Well FU to them, because I do know what I'm doing, I'm an engineer in the broadcast industry and I know damn well about these technologies and I wanted out of a scam. Hopefully they do not use my credit card for any fraudulent purposes. I did at least get a confirmation email from them which I was not expecting. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY, and DO NOT believe in their yahoo ratings as they obviously exploited the system somehow to get their rating up."

"Good ordering, good follow up. Happy to use them again."

"this is order number. They never sell you for price listing on his web store. this is fake low price to bring customer to the web page. they want to call and tell you "not in stock" Web page never say not in stock

Do not order from this store Prestigecamera.com"

"I got everything as promised and will probably shop with them again."

"Broadway Photo is a pure bait & up-sell outfit. It works like this: 1)Place your internet order; 2)Next day get an email asking you to call then to “verify” your order; 3) call them and say no to paying 2x full retail for accessories, 4) next day get another email saying camera is back-ordered; 5) call (cannot email) to cancel order. If you are lucky your card has not been charged. Your chances of getting anything from them at the too-good-to-be-true price is zero. See the review from Deanom, 11/11/07 for more detail. The part that disturbs me is that they employ shill rating outfits such as ShopCartUSA, LowPriceDigital and PriceHead to list only sparkling reviews, etc. So now the internet shopper must know how to find legitimate review listings (such as this one). I got suckered into thinking Broadway Photo's low price was legitimate by seeing several similar low prices. These turned out to be aliases for Broadway Photo. Nextag seems to have an accurate listing of legitimate price history."

"I ordered from them, it was in stock, and it arrived just fine within a reasonable time."

"I ordered a Canon Powershot S5 from them. Got the usual "Please call our processing dept" email to verify and process the order. Got the same story (Japanese version, menu, no battery etc. etc.). I asked the guy if their store was located in the USA. He said yes. I said that I stay in the USA and the official language is English, so why the hell do they advertise a camera with Japanese on-screen instructions for sale in the US? He got angry, and so did I. Told him that I don't want to listen to his lies and to cancel my order. He said "your order is cancelled" and put down the phone. Later the day I got an email to confirm my cancellation. I was still mad and decided to get some revenge. They have a Google sponsored link which means basically they pay Google (between 5c to $1) for every click on their link. Being a bit of a computer geek I downloaded a trial version of "Action Mouse Mover" and configured it to click between Google and their sponsored link a few 1000 times. Save’s your hand and finger. Hopefully it will cost them some money. Also stay away from USAphotonation. To be on the safe side, I asked AMEX for a new card as some people reported fraudulent charges later on their cards after cancelling orders with these and other scammers. Ended up ordering from Buydig.com for about $40 more, complete with USA warranty and free shipping. Here are photo's of their (scammers) so called shops that was posted on the web.

UPDATE: 11/14/07
Just received my camera from buydig today. Factory fresh with everything included. Super-service.
I would be VERY skeptical about any positive reviews posted about this company (Broadway Photo and all their aliases) as it is most probably posted by themselves or their employee's in an attempt to cover up their fraudulent activities. If you do a Google search on their reputation you will find that they make their money mainly from scamming (lying, selling overpriced accessories, resell accessories that normally comes standard in the box, restocking and cancellation fees, costly useless warranties, outrages shipping charges) and are up to no good. If you (must be crazy to) insist doing business with them, be sure to record every conversation you have with them on the phone (before giving them your CC number) as you will need it when the fun starts. They belong behind bars.

"I bought a Olympus SP-560-UZ, 8.0 Megapixel, 18x Optical/5.6x Digital Zoom, Digital Camera and was very satisfied. It came with everything they promised and even though I ahd a similar experience with them trying to sell me batteries and the like, I politely refused and had no problems. They have the best prices on the web and if you only order what you want you cant go wrong"

"I purchased a tom tom go 720 on november 6 2007 from their website for $404 w/free shipping. best price i could find. so today i get a confirmation email asking me to call to confirm order as does everyone. i called and like everyone else the idiot rep tries to upsell me. no no no. well right before i hung up the phone he asked do i want the U.S. version for $29 more because this is the JAPANESE version. I was like HUH??? I asked where in the HECK does it say that because it doesnt. He said the only place it says it is when you submit your order. YEA, NO it doesn't. wish i would have read the reviews before going there. i called back and cancelled my order. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. what a bunch of crooks. "
