At that price it must be a scam, there is no other answer that makes sense.

When I read these reports, and the ones at resellerreviews as well, I have to ask what kind of person would actuallt think you could really buy at their "prices" from a legitimate dealer. Not lot of sympathy for these buyers' problems. |

Not lot of sympathy for these buyers' problems. Well we must remember that not everyone that manages to get connected and wants a camera is actually a rocket scientist, hell they probably can't even spell it. What you and I see as obvious is not always obvious to others. I work with some very bloody clever engineers that are brilliant in their field but take them out of that and you would be sure that they come from a long line of halfwits. |

There is an entire genre of dealers, mostly identified with the Brooklyn, NY area, who have, as a business plan, to defraud and deceive photo/video customers. They have it down to a science; it's done in a way that makes them very hard to prosecute (as in, how do you PROVE that something isn't actually backordered?) The only sure thing is, you will never, ever, EVER get just your item at the price advertised. I used to run a camera store. A few years ago, I decided to see if the "Brooklyn" dealers were actually as bad a reputed. (How could they be and stay in business?) I picked a mid-priced Nikkor lens that I knew to be in plentiful supply, and attempted to buy it at the advertised price (about $80 less than my low wholesale). After innumerable phone calls, attempts to up sell, backorder delays, excuses like you wouldn't believe - I eventually was told either I bought the $75 filter accessory kit, or I was NEVER getting the lens; and why don't I just give up and save us both the trouble? No. After several months, the lens was actually discontinued, and after a few more heated (you wouldn't believe!) phone calls, I got a box from them. Inside was an obviously used lens, minus box, caps, cards, everything - not even any packing material. I called to arrange a return, and the whole thing started again - restocking fees, "make an insurance claim with UPS" etc. Since, wonder of wonders, they had NOT pre-charged my card, I was able to get Amex to reverse the transaction. Very educational, but NOT an experience I'd recommend to anyone who actually wants to buy something. |

Just google for D80 body and see the prices. $900, $950, $375, $929 .. How can one not see something makes no sense? |
