Thougth this worth a post & wondering how others are feeling about it.
..those of us that have already paid THE ADVERTISED $60 for a phot op with Mr Leonard Nimoy, have this last week, suffered the disclosure that 'oh that price was wrong/a mistake - it is supposed to be $80 - oh but if you have already paid $60 you must still pay the extra $20 now - oh and if you want a refund instead you have to wait until after D*C (practically a month) for it'.... if I hadnt already made a costume for the photo I would be wanting my money back .... and IMMEDIATELY.
How is it DragonCon can allow a precedence like this to be set? If a vendor/dealer/photographer can do it once, they can do it again and to every price on their site! ... what guarantee do we all have that there will be no further increases to current advertised prices of other photo ops, excused as 'mistakes' but the customer has to cop the loss for the vendor's mistake?

Date: 2009-08-23 01:43 pm (UTC)But I am sad that Leslie Fish isn't going to make it this year. I was going to ask her if she ever started working on "Banned from Argo: the Novel" again. Last time I saw her (years ago) she said that she'd given it up temporarily but she had a story for everyone's situation.
