Your local citizens advice or fair trading office may advise you. Sounds like a cowboy , there are plenty of 'board jockeys' out there.... -B |

I wish it were that simple. The time it takes to bring them to small
claims court, money - I am better off trying to get another one off ebay. I was just hoping to find an electronic place that isn't going to be expensive. I usually use Mack Camera, but they charge approx $65.00 just to look at it (including shipping). With a bill of $200+ ontop of that I am closing in on $300.00...

If it is, then Sony should help you. |

The camera wasn't under warranty and Sony wanted a heck of a lot more
money to fix it. The outfit claimed to fix camcorders, so I guess it was my mistake for trusting it. They did replace two parts and still couldn't get it working. I was just hoping for a little luck in all of it. I might have to go with Mack Camera or at this point, try Ebay, but their prices for 4 year old cameras like this one seem to have escalated unbelievably considering a new camera cost about $200.00 (for a point and shoot). If I wasn't replacing it for my brother, it wouldn't even bother me... On Aug 3, 5:51 pm, "Charles" wrote: "David D" wrote in message ups.com...

Mate: You need to make a decision, do you want to follow up with the old
item, challenge the repair company, etc. Or will it be more acceptable to spend your assets on a newer item. Either you spend the quid fighting to get the old camera problem resolved, weither it be sending it directly to SONY or dealing with the repair facility. Otherwise, drop the coins on a new item and off the old item on E_Bay to any taker thereby requiting at least a bit of your financial loss. Maybe a Foster's will help you decide, Eh!!
