Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / November 2005Nikon D2x price here!
This site has the D2x well priced ($2765) has anyone dealt with them or is it too good to be true? Comparing it with BH Photo at about $4900. http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/exchange-glance/Y06Y3439756Y4863302/058-7792 098-0385827 thanks > This site has the D2x well priced ($2765) has anyone dealt with them > or is it too good to be true?

B&H probably pays $4500 as most dealers make less than 10% margin. > B&H probably pays $4500 as most dealers make less than 10% margin. While it is generally pretty hard to keep doors open on a 10% margin, I had a friend who owns a small shop down in the Keys tell me he discontinued Nikon sales because the margins on their high-end products didn't leave enough room to compete with the New York houses. He continues to sell Canon, so I assume they have dealer margins of significantly greater latitude. >>> This site has the D2x well priced ($2765) has anyone dealt with them or >>> is it too good to be true?

Then howcome Cameta Cameras sells D2x's on ebay for about $4500. Don't tell me the old saw about how they lose a buck on each sale but make it up on the volume. I have absolutely no information here, except that Cameta is not losing money. So B&H is getting more than 10 points. > This site has the D2x well priced ($2765) has anyone dealt with them or is > it too good to be true?

These can be, and often are, posted by the seller......all they have to do is post ratings under phony names. Well, this Crawfordelectronics has received 5 stars out of a possible 5 stars, from all 8 ratings......and all were posted in 2 days, September 18 and 19. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/feedback.html/104-2275277-2578331?seller=A1 N25JFW7KMOL0&marketplaceSeller=1 I don't think this is a "bait and switch", I think this is an outright scam waiting for a victim. Most likely your dealing with a grey market product. Nikon USA will not cover the warranty of a grey market product. Buyer BEWARE!! Buy the camera from a reputable dealer...you'll save yourself headaches later. Also, Nikon will refuse to service the camera, or ANY gray market product even if NON warranty repair is requested. > Also, Nikon will refuse to service the camera, or ANY gray market product > even if NON warranty repair is requested. Wow, that's harsh. Can private repair shops do the job? |
