The "package" is not offered by Amazon, merely through it. I did not find that exact package at the actual seller site (Amazon only handled the marketing and billing), but I did find that D7000 with a different kit lens, and it was about $1600. I could see the vendor asking a rather pricey $1999 Canadian, but that $9999 still lmakes no sense. Alex, wondering why no one has emailed the vendor...... too obvious? |

It's probably there as a test item, or as a placeholder for an item they are anticipating offering, but don't yet, but want to get indexed in the search engines sooner rather than later. It's kinda like when new gas stations put their prices at $9.99 until they first open or when existing ones do it when they're out of gas. (Except on Amazon there's always the chance, if a slim one, that some ignorant customer with more money than sense might just come along and order the thing at the placeholder price.) d'accord.

You live in an expensive area. Around here gas is $1.99, when its out of stock. Around here it's around $1.99 (per litre, not per gallon), when it's in stock. Haven't seen it out of stock except for when they recently introduced E10 --- they changed the signs very early. -Wolfgang |

For the USA readers, that is $7.56 a US Gallon, or $8.95 an Imperial Gallon (UK). In Canada gas locally is CAD $1.29 (USD $1.27) litre (USD $4.86 US Gallon) Over generalized. And at present the CAD is over the USD (pretty much par). The Brits use litres for gasoline not imp. gallons. I paid as little as $3.49 / US gallon last week in MA or a measly 93 cts/litre (60 pence / litre). Usually the posted price per litre in Canada is about the same as in the UK. Except of course the British pound is worth more so the actual cost is higher (CAD$1.55 / £). -- "Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities." -Samuel Clemens. |
