It should. The deal has too many steps. At one end of the spectrum,
there's the deal where you check out, get the invoice from Amazon's
online store, and have a tracking number. At the other end of the
spectrum, you've got this deal that sounds more like a ransom drop than
a camera sale.

When something sounds too good to be true, it ussually is. There is NO WAY
I'd send this guy my money.

Amazon has a money back guarantee. So buy it and if it doesn't work out
they'll refund. Seriously, you have nothing to lose.

Oh, I should have read this twice before responding.. this sounds like a
scam. I don't know how they're going to screw you, but I'm sure they will.

One thing that lots of confidence games have in common,
is they take things that are YOUR responsibility, and YOUR
choice to make, and make them FOR YOU, passing it off as if
it's a favor to you.

In this case, he's taking the burden off of you to validate his
credibility. He will send you a photocopied paper that looks like
Amazon.com letterhead. That sure would instill a sense of confidence
in me! (Sarcasm.)

By the way, I looked at Amazon and didn't see anything remotely similar
to the deal you posted. Already pulled?

I was getting all excited but had to snap out of it when I kept thinking
grey market, grey market...and they would never answer the question about
grey market items....so what is a grey market item anyway?

Gey market just means overseas without a US warranty. This stuff sounds
stolen to me. Maybe stolen overseas?

Let me know when your $600 box of bricks shows up.

I'm thinking grey market/stolen/scam.

I had the displeasure of talking to some ass chime at Broadway Photo
(scam artists with an attitude) and even their grey/imported 20D was
$1K.

Grey market involves taking advantage of price/currency variations in
different markets. The grey marketeer buys, say, Nikons legally in
Singapore, and sends them to the USA. He bypasses Nikon USA, which means
that the product doesn't have the Nikon USA warranty. If (Singapore
Price + Currency conversion + Cost of Shipping + Cost of Customs
transactions + markup) (Official Nikon USA price), the grey marketeer
can sell the products at a discount to the USA price.
