Was it this forum or some other where there was a thread just a couple of days ago about what scam artists 86 photovideo.com is?

Another site. Pretty lengthy synopsis of dissatisfied customers. No way I'd consider them

Unless you are 100% sure of what you want, you might want to steer clear of the restocking sights. There's nothing like using a unit for a few days to really find out what you like or don't.

Obviously this limits your choices big time - to like Amazon, Costco.com....maybe that's it!

Yep...I tried to order a Garmin Nuvi 760 from TechonDigital for $275. The website showed "in stock". I called to place the order & was asked by the salesman to purchase extras such as SD memory cards, carrying cases, extended warranties, etc. When I refused & told them all I wanted was the Nuvi 760 at the advertised price, I was told it would be a 6 week wait on the unit. I politely cancelled the order. Another website to steer clear of is: CameraAddict.com.

Yeah, I'd call 0.08 out of 10 pretty abysmal ratings:

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/86th_Street_Photo_Video

resellerratings.com is a pretty good site for finding the ripoff places. I got both of our units from Amazon, never had a problem.

Purchased my Tom Tom One XLS from QVC for $213 plus shipping and tax. Seems to be their price continuously. Received it in a week and worked right out of the box. Great deal in my eyes.
