"...bag of hair" seems to be inaccurate, "...box of rocks" seems more
appropriate.

One guy complaining on the Internet is one thing.
A high-level representative of the company insulting my intelligence
by claiming that 50%-off sales do not exist is another.
I believe he was asserting that 50% off sales for that product don't
exist. I haven't researched the matter for the product in question but
I can think of other products for which 50% off sales are unheard of.
I've made (or attempted to make) online purchases for which the price
looked too good to be true. Haven't sneaked one by yet ;-) but as long
as I'm paying by credit card I'm not worried about being ripped off.
Once, when I was young and foolish, I made a purchase from Cambridge
Camera (OK, since we're talking about Cambridge Camera, perhaps "young
and foolish" should be replaced with "young and dumb as a bag of
hair"...) and they really tried to rip me off. But, mainly because I
documented the transaction well and paid by credit card, they failed
to do so. In fact, I quite got the better of them. For details, meet
me around the campfire at GFM some time :)
