Don’t ever visit this store!!! They rip you off. I bought a SD card and realized that it was 4 times more expensive than it should have been. My mistake also that I did not check it but nevertheless they just try to exploit customers!

NOSTARS! Do Not Enter This Store, You will be Robbed Just before my girlfriend left for NYC to see her sister appear at Lincoln Center I gave her a Canon point & shoot camera for her birthday, it cost $ 109 at Best Buy and included a battery and charger. Unfortunately she left her new battery charger at home. So, with a dead battery on the fateful day of the big performance at Avery Fisher Hall she strolled into Royal Gift & Electronics at 53rd& Broadway hoping to purchase a charger along with an extra battery. They did not have the official Canon parts in stock but did suggest aftermarket substitutes. She said«fine, I’ll take them.»(These two knock-off parts sell for $ 12.99 and $ 14.99 at other camera stores in the city.) Now comes the good part. When asked if the sale was to be cash or credit, she offered her VISA debit card. A VISA transaction slip was presented for her signature in the amount of $ 304.83.(The salesman had moved the decimal point so that one item was now priced at $ 129.99 and the other at $ 149.99; add the sales tax of $ 24.85 and you get the total charge). Not noticing the ten-time increase in price she duly signed the receipt. But then, upon looking at it, realized the deception and demanded that a credit be issued. When challenged, the salesman notified her that all sales were final. After protesting more, he reminded her that she had never asked him what the price was, and that a credit for $ 304.83 would be issued by the store only if she would agree to pay the«reduced price» of $ 239.00. Fearful of the threats and figuring that she could at least salvage $ 66.00 in VISA billings, she signed. For a $ 28 sale, she had just been overcharged more than $ 200. Admittedly, she should have made a big scene and called a cop. But, she was afraid and also embarrassed. These retail predators are pulling shenanigans like this on a daily basis and it is the equivalent of armed robbery.
