I decided on a sony 42 rplcd and found a great price on line through Authorized Electronics. After placing the order I received an email asking me to call. They informed me that in order to properly insure the tv they would have to charge another $125. I felt I was being baited and switched by the way the rep spoke to me. I cancelled my order and ended up buying the tv from a local retailer for about $150 over the original on line price including tax. I think I will leave future on line purchases for smaller items.
