[UPDATED, too risky] Canon A70 $179.99 -- Shipped

[ww4397]

Here it is.


[UPDATE]

I called Canon and they told me the this company was not on their list of authorized dealers. I cancelled my order after they sent me a message *requiring* me to use PayPal even though I used AMEX to place the order.

holy~~ its not one of those fake shop isnt it?

 

[Growltiger]

I'm guessing it's a grey market camera

 

[Tommyboy8]

VERY sketchy... price for these are between $240-$299 at most online retailers.

 

[Freejack2]

Enh, no listing on resellerratings.com as djgearonline.com. Also they say they only take paypal for cc's but they have cc payment at checkout. That's not necessarily bad, but a bit odd.

 

[Arfboy]

Hrm... I think I might actually bite on this one. IF anything, I can always dispute it with my CC company.

If you prefer DJ Gear Online can set-up your PayPal account for you. Simply continue with your order process and enter in your payment information below. Your credit card will be billed as PayPal.

That's just too good to be true. No reseller rating either. I'd stay away.

Not only that, but the site looks super fake.

If you truly think that is a deal with that price then you deserved to be scam.
The camera normal price is $299. A deal will be around $220 ish and from reputable store.

agreed!

So who's going to be the first few guinea pigs? I figure this place has one or two in stock to send out so folks can post that they received it and then hundreds of CC number orders flood in and no one else sees a camera, but their cards get charged...but if this is legit, it's really hot.

 

[agent2099]

LOL, literally, as soon as I saw the topic: "Canon A70 $179.99 -- Shipped"

I said to myself:


"must be one of those yahoo stores..."


So I click on the thread, and sure enough it was.

Well, I stand corrected. Nevertheless, I would still call Canon @ 1-800-828-4040 to verify that this company is in fact authorized before making a purchase from them just because this is too good to be true.

 

[new2AMD]

Does this mean it can be PM'd?

Better click on the "Info" button first. They only take Pay Pal and Western Union.

PayPal is taken from my credit card. If I report it to PayPal and they don't do anything, it's not hard to get a chargeback.

Hmm !! nice deal for a kool camera. Please let me know if anyone buys it. I wanna get one too but would not be the only one to jump on this.

Hmmm.... kinda close to where I live. I wonder if i could stop by there...

 

[Tam0]

I definitely am interested in one too. Please post if anyone gets it and it all's copasetic.

[pigseye2]

tempting but without CC coverage if the camera doesn't show up. I'm not going to try it.

If anyone else does, let us know how it turns out!

Edit: One thought, If this company is legit I bet getting delivery would take at least 1 to 2 months. Maybe they are playing the "Sell today at tomorrows prices game." Of course, they wouldn't won't deliver until way after tomorrow.

Other thoughts?
