Bad Companies, "Good" Companies

[valuesystem]

I have recently been attempting to shop for the best price on a new camcorder. After looking around for a while, I have found that a few online companies have really poor ratings...

The worst of the lot, "ZoomMania", will advertise a low-low price for an camcorder, but then only sell it to you if you buy a "package" of accessories.

Here are a few of the notable notorious ones... (do not shop here)...

* ZoomMania
* DigiCombos
* ShopDigitalCorp

How do you know what is a good online shop? Here are a few websites to check...

* http://www.resellerratings.com/ - Click in "Store Ratings"
* http://shopping.yahoo.com/ - Click on "Shop by Store"
* http://search.bbb.org/ - Type in "Company Name"
* http://www1.epinions.com/webs-Web_Services-All - Type in "search for"
* http://www.bizrate.com/ratings_guide/guide.html
* http://www.smarter.com/

Looks like I'm going to purchase from NewEgg.com. In the past, I've had good success with B&H Photo/Video and also TechOnWeb.com.

Be careful out there while shopping. Not everyone is a good-guy.
