lewmonst 0 #1 October 12, 2004 I think I've called every retailer I can think of, checked every online site and called the ones that listed it in stock which of course is wrong, called all the sony outlet stores and even Sony itself. Apparently they're serious when they don't want to sell anymore of these. I told them I didn't like the 350 and I want another 330, but no luck. My 330 might have to get repaired and I don't want to be without it for a weekend. I want a back-up/second camera anyway, but I only want a 330. So if anyone can find me a Sony PC330 USA version in good working condition by friday I'll throw a couple jump tickets your way or something for commision.

Deuce 1 #2 October 13, 2004 Ouch. Happened to me when I wanted a backup PC120. I think you'll have to go the Ebay route like I did. There's currently two going, both will come up right after Midnight Thursday. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20333&item=3844926483&rd=1 When Sony kills a model, they drop the evidence it ever existed in an acid bath, don't they. Yikes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewmonst 0 #3 October 13, 2004 Yeah, I've been watching ebay, but that one you linked says "This is sold as is & there will be no returns so decide carefully since your bid is a contract. " and that scares me because I've already gone out of my way to return a open-box 330 to Fry's in San Diego because it was in bad shape. It would record and play it's own error, that is, the head's were out of alignment very badly so when I gave the tape to our editor and she put it in the deck it was all f'd up. But we could play it back through the camera just fine, so we had to edit through the camera. But that doesn't work on a busy saturday when I'm jumping back to back and someone is keeping my tapes to edit. ugh. so yea, thanks for the link, but I won't bid on that one. And the other one is in London, doesn't specify NTSC or PAL and the seller hasn't sold much. I am keeping my eye on the one that ends on Saturday, even though it's overpriced. Thanks anyway Duecey Duece! peace lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #10 October 13, 2004 I called all the places on the everyprice list yesterday. CCI thought he had one, then he actually went and physically checked instead of trusting the computer and they didn't have on. That's as close as I got in my search yesterday.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lewmonst 0 #12 October 14, 2004 Thanks Katy. I'd already tried the first two, whom I told they need to update their website which advertised them in stock and they blew me off. I called the second two just now and it's after hours, no answer, so I'll try again tomorrow. I'd be surprised if I actually find one. peace lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewmonst 0 #13 October 14, 2004 Ok, I won a "Manufacturer Refurbished" pc330 on Ubid.com... So i'm waiting till the last few minutes to bid, and I do, and I watch it go up a couple times and then times up and I'm releived that I won, but wait, that's not it, Ubid.com has a f*ing "Overtime" policy. wtf? I know, my fault for not reading the fine print on the entire website before bidding, but still, now I have to wiat 10 minutes or potentially indefinitely for this auction to end.... Argh. I still won it, but I do not like that policy and do not intend to chose Ubid over ebay ever again. It's just the only 330 I could find. Now, let's hope it's in normal working condition like it says it is... Thank you all for your help searching! peace lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
