The boring details...
I purchased this Digital Recorder Pen (it records about 2 hours :) form millionbuy.com. It worked only intermittently -- at first it was almost not noticeable, but it got progressively worse until the defect became obvious. I returned it. I could not get a refund. I have made many many calls, and I was beginning to feel that the company was stonewalling me. But I didn't give up, and finally I was told that I'd be issued a refund -- the company would give a credit on my credit card. Now it's a month later, and my last credit card statement shows no refund. So, I decided to tell you about this company.
I purchased this via the Yahoo! "Shopping: category.
Would YOU be angry?
Here is a .wav sound clip that was made with this pen (while it still worked:) More from Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

Is a better deal available on the net?
I'm no expert, but I think so. Just search in
GOOGLE
.
On July 23, I received the email message below. This is NOT a full refund. I paid $167 for this item -- The company kept about $40 of my money. I don't believe for a minute that there was a system error, as is claimed, below. I think these people's first reaction is to cheat.

By telephone (Jul 17, 2002), I called
the company and found out that it had still made the refund. I was told
(by John) that they he will check on it, and he said that he would call back.
He did not. This is part of millionbuy.com's STONEWALLING strategy.
I will call again.
As of 7-17-2002, no refund has been forthcoming. So, I'm making this web page to let you know that http://millionbuy.com/ is not a company I would use again.
