A guy won the Lollapalooza ‘Last Band Standing’ competition and part of his prize package included $10k in Gibson music equipment. Well, he won in 2006 and STILL hasn't received his prize, thanks to Don Pitts. I know that Citizen's Bank promotions scoffs at such shoddy work. Gianmarc! Burn your Gibsons in protest!

Brooklyn used to be a haven for shady online CAMERA stores that would sell you a dirt cheap camera and then try to sell you the batteries for $150, the manual for $200, etc (and if you refused, your camera would go mysteriously out of stock). Well it looks like the same guy who handled customer service at the camera shops has moved on to NVWDirect.com (who sells high-def TVs).

So my advice is to just never buy anything online if the store is located in Brooklyn.
