Another 'avoid' recommendation ...

I was in the market for an Epson Stylus Colour 760. Rang their Mt. Gravatt
store and was told they had one in stock. Arrived at the store within 30
minutes, waited for 10 mins or so until I managed to speak to someone (not
exactly the most helpful or friendliest sales person in the world) and was
told they didn't have one in stock. When I explained that I had phoned only
30 mins earlier, I was told that I couldn't have been speaking to them! End
of story.
