Marco,

Upselling is a legitimate sales tactic. BP requires a "confirmation" call, obstensibly to make sure you actually ordered the item. These calls are really an excuse to try and sell radically overpriced accessories to sometimes unwitting consumers. An example: someone orders a camera, and during the "confirmation call", they are pressured to buy a 512 MB CF memory card. That's a good suggestion, since most cameras come with small memory cards from the factory. A 512 MB CF card is about $40-$50 from Best Buys, Circuit City, or Newegg. From Broadway Photo, a 512 MB CF card is $599!! It's crooked, plain and simple.
