DrDudePhDAvoid Abe's of Maine and other low priced scam/bait and switch sellers online.
A brief history: According New York's Better Business Bureau website, Abe’s of Maine opened its doors in Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1979. It is owned by Abe Mosseri. Here is what the BBB has to say about the N.Y. operation:
On May 22, 2007, this company’s membership in the Metropolitan New York BBB was revoked by our BBB’s Board of Directors due to the company’s repeated and unauthorized use of the BBB logo and failure to eliminate the underlying cause of complaints on file concerning: non-delivery of products, misrepresentation of availability of merchandise, refusal to honor cancellations or provide timely refunds, unprofessional conduct, failure to resolve customer complaints, overcharging, undisclosed cancellation of orders, improper upselling tactics, and bait-and-switch selling.
Massanr2017How on earth did you get them to price match that place? Their website says they only price match legit online retailers like amazon or Newegg.
Massanr2017Also it was really late at night and all the store was closed. He had been working with me for a few hours and probably just wanted to make the sale.
NBC News reported Abe's of Maine as the "Poster Child of bad online dealers." https://www.nbcnews.com/technology/how-avoid-online-hdtv-shopping-scams-742267 They also have a 2.5 star rating with consumer affairs. Seems they are a known scam site. https://www.consumeraffairs.com/homeowners/abes-of-maine.html
