    So I got the letter yesterday. The pics are supposedly dated March 2008; nothing like timeliness. I've read the horror stories so no need to share how difficult these guys can be. Just tell me what kind of deal you struck. I'll see what kind of deal I can get out of them before I mention I sold the boat last year.

    That's funny, I was thinking exactly the same thing before I opened the thread. Their reputation is so bad that it isn't even worth opening the envelope.

    "Package? What package?...I didn't get any package? Did I authorize you to take pics of me? Did I ask you to mail me anything? No, I didn't think so. Fvck off."

    I think that's about the best deal you can make.

    I hate those phuckers. Bottom line is, I can't stand any unsolicited "deals."

    So what you guys are saying, if I can read between the lines, is that I shouldn't give them the time of day at this point...

    But d@mn I'm curious what the pics look like.

    I'll play devil's advocate. I know one person that got the pics last year, called them and had them send the proof's and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The pic is great, not sure it was worth the price paid tho.

    Let me make sure I understand this correctly....

    2 hours of flight time

    2000 pics ??? 2000 Prints ? or Digital Negatives ?

    1 hour of video

    All for $800 ???

    How did they even cover the chopper costs on that ???
