Considering it is based in New York city, this is the most likely case. We unfortunately have a number of grey market vendors with low ball pricing techniques. Most consumers, however, know to stay away (save the tourists, who typically have no clue).Originally posted by: nourdmrolNMT1
it might be grey market also.

According to the description the power adapter, software, and cables are included. I'm not sure as to what they could make you get, especially since the lense is also included.
Actually I dont see a battery, and they have one listed in the accessories for $99.

there's nothing wrong with grey market, the warranties are still honored, but this seems to be too cheap to be grey market

DON'T BUY PRODUCTS FROM THIS COMPANY. I PLACED MY ORDER LAST TUESDAY (7//04) FOR CANON 10D WITH CANON BATTERY GRIP AND ARRANGED 3-5 DAYS GROUOND DELIVERY. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED MY ORDER BUT NO SHIPMENT. SO I CALLED THE COMPANY (PHONE BUSY ALL DAY) AND COULDN'T GET A HOLD OF ANYONE. SENT EMAIL MESSAGE AND POLITELY ASK WHEN CAN I EXPECT OR PRODUCTS? A FEW HOURS LATER, ONE OF THE SALES REP CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT COME WITH ANYTHING, NO BATTERY, NO BATTERY CHARGER, NO MANUAL, NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. HE ALSO ASKED ME TO PURCHASE WARRANTY FROM HIS COMPANY AT $150/YR. WHICH I DECLINED. HE WAS FRUSTRATED FOR NOT BE ABLE TO MILK ME WITH ACCESSORIES PURCHASE AND TOLD ME THAT MY PRODUCT WON'T BE SHIPPED UNTIL 4-6 WEEKS LATER SINCE IT'S A GREY MARKET PRODUCT AND THEY DON'T HAVE IT IN STOCK EVEN THOUGH ON THEIR WEBSITE IT LISTED AS AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY.
THIS COMPANY IS A CROOK. I PLAN TO REPORT THIS FRAUDULENT PRACTICE WITH STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND FCC.
DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS CROOKED ONLINE MERCHANT.
