joining, and the first post is to praise a seller although, this time, not the camera. At least he/she waited two hours before posting.
This appears to be a posting in an effort to advertise a company that has a bad reputation.
Barclays Photo
aka PriceRitePhoto
aka TheCameraMall
aka C&A Marketing
Here is what Epinions has to say about this company:

Just a note:
The Nikon d2hs camera has a list price of $3500 (new).
Would you buy such an expensive camera on eBay from this company?

You pull this post? Why are you so lacks with the posted rules of this forum? Do you owe this guy something like in a bad bet. Pull it all, my post too! This is bad for a good camera company.
Many of the companies that have developed bad reputations utilize fake postings to try to counteract the complaints posted here.
They do the same thing at Epinions and other sites that rate such companies.
It is impossible to know for sure that a post if a fake. But we have seen that people on the forums are smart enough to spot potential fake postings.
As you have seen from the postings about SVP cameras, that these aledged fake postings do more harm than good for the companies engaged in such activities.
Some have truly "shot themselves in the foot" trying to "puff up" their performance in solving bad service.
This forum is to share knowledge about cameras.
That includes sharing information about camera products and companies selling cameras.
People often want to know the names of good vendors for camera products. If you know of a good vendor, you are free to tell them.
When someone wants to praise a company without being asked to do so........brings suspicion of a fake posting. It is very easy to find the history of any company by a Google search.
Anyone recommending a company with a bad track record will do more harm than good for that company, because someone will bring up the past.
Wouldn't your rather know of a company with a bad record than learn it the hard way?
