"On this" is key here. It's one case out of perhaps millions. The
experience of those who have dealt with B&H extensively for decades
carries much more weight in my opinion. The B&H folks are not soft and
cuddly types. They're businessmen who have set specific policies and
adhere to them without exception. If you know the rules going in, you can
count on being treated in a manner that supports their policies. I much
prefer that to imprecise waffling.
Now though, the rules going in are that they can arbitrarily change a
contractual agreement between them and a customer at their whim if they
choose to do so.
Once you've accepted my money, we have an agreement, You've made an offer,
I've accepted said offer and you've accepted my acceptance.
Except now, B&H makes an offer, I can accept the offer, they can accept my
acceptance and then decide it isn't a good deal for them and tell me to go
pound sand.
In Canada we call this an illegal trading practice.
Tell me Paul, if you walked into a store and took a quart of milk up to the
cash register, would you be so accepting if the cashier told you that the
price on the shelf was wrong and that quart of milk was going to cost you
double of what you were expecting?
This is exactly what Posner and his band merry men have done.
They should be living in Sherwood Forest, not NYC.
