It’s a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F717. It’s priced at $899 Canadian and I like the camera so I non-chalantly holler over to the sales rep “I’ll give you $1000 tax included for the camera, a 256 memory card, a 3 year unlimited warranty and a carry bag.” :azn: He perks up with a smile and comes over looking at me like I’m crazy and says there’s no way his boss would go for it. :h: So I continue to browse around but I really only want that camera for $1000 with all the extras.:evil: After five minutes of checking out the other cameras I return the F717 and tell the sales rep that I want the deal I mentioned earlier and he should go and ask his manager if we can do business.:cop: Anyways, the dance continued for a bit and the sales rep (a really nice guy might I add) played go between me and the manager until we reached an agreement. The camera, 256 memory card and the 3 year unlimited warranty for $1100 (tax included). What a great deal I thought.

Well when I go to pay with my debit card the machine coughs a little and says I have insufficent funds. :!: I turn beat red and the sales rep looks at me like he wants an explanation. :huh: So I’m standing there in disbelief because I’d just deposited two hefty checks today and there’s more than enough money to cover the cost of the camera. Turns out that this mofo I did some work for who finally paid me 2 months overdue gave me a bad check. 😱 Now I’m sitting here pissed off because I can’t play with my new toy. I had to put it on layaway in order to keep the deal and I won’t have the money to go get it until friday. :upset:
