They >never mentioned BASF in their ad. Do you smell something fishy? "Fishy", as in BAIT and switch? Yes! Who are these people? "out of Sony", meaning they don't want to send someone back to Tokyo to pick up more? They don't have a distributor? Isn't there a mail order association to report this company to? What a bunch of nonsense! They don't want to sell Sony at that price, or want to get rid of the BASF junk! On the other hand, I'd think that a company that's been in the magnetic media business as long as BASF would want to rectify any problems with their product... There might be some temporary QC problems...
