What other types of tricks are deceptive camera dealers using?
Besides Grey Market goods, there are other “games” that a few “bad apples” are using to try to get your business: 1. A fantastic price is offered and you verify that the equipment has a US warranty. You are then told that the item is out of stock and should be available in a week or so. In a week, you get a call telling you that the equipment is in and the price has gone up in the mean time – usually to the same price that everyone else is selling it for. This way, they have locked you up and they figure that you will just stay with them since the price is now the same as everywhere else. 2. The price sounds too good to be true. It may be because they have stripped out accessories that the manufacturer includes so they can sell them to you separately. This is often the case with the Fuji S1 Pro. The manufacturer includes a 1GB Microdrive, a 16MB memory card and an AC adapter. Pulling these items out and selling them individually will drop the price of the camera approximately $470. Alw
