Re: Before You Buy
Hmm, after the first call I think I would have turned elsewhere. I'd rather buy locally and spend a couple of extra bucks - warranty issues are much easier. |

guess I didn't make myself clear. I called seven DIFFERENT dealers and got the same run around. In my case buying locally is not an option. And I saved quite a bit more than a few bucks.Lots of people buy online, I'd just like to see them warned against this tactic. |

Is 1 to 200 extra bucks just few?... that is what it really boils down to... and so far no tax (vs local) though if you aren't careful shipping can be excessive.

That depends on the dollar value you assign to your time. Sure, you may save $100 bucks by dealing with "NoNameCameraOutlet.com," but if there's a problem with your order, you'll spend a good bit of effort and energy trying to correct the situation. Remember, you'll never get that time you wasted back again.
