THANK YOU

I was about to get a Mac from one of these two places:

Nice Electronics / Electro discounts / MPsuperstore
http://donwiss.com/pictures/BrooklynStores/h0033.htm

or this place:

Abe's Of Maine
http://donwiss.com/pictures/BrooklynStores/h0002.htm
http://donwiss.com/pictures/BrooklynStores/h0051.htm

I think I pass

Abe's has actually been around for years, but they deal in a lot of grey-market (overseas) stuff. I wouldn't trust them.

See KRL's post above -- reputable.

I have ordered stuff from them for the last coupole of years. They may be a bit pricier than most of the grey market companies, but you also get what you pay for. Never had a problem. Also try Adorama Camera....

I just read some Abe's and Electro Discounts reviews and boy there's a lot of unhappy customers.

Most of the fly by nights offer a great deal BUT unless you buy accessories and an extended warranty they will never actually ship the camera.

Then you just chargeback, no one wants to deal with bs like that, but the risk is pretty small...

You do have to ask the question though- the reason these guys are cheap is BECAUSE they dont have a flashy storefront in the local mall.

I'm not saying all these guys are wonderful, but remember that amazon.com and most.com started up and ran from buildings just like or worse than these

You just need to be careful when buying from people in the smaller stores

I ran accross one a couple of yrs ago.They advertised a Nikon D70 in one of the major Camera mags for about $125 less than anyone else. After calling them and getting put on hold for what seemed like hrs. They didnt want to sell me a body only, they wanted to sell the package deal, where they actually made money. After a while I just gave up trying them to honour the advertised price.

Yup yup, too much risk with grey market products floating around...

FelixFlow · 02-17-2006, 12:49 PM

i usually order from B&H online, and if they're out of stock on something, than Samys is my second option

i'd rather have the peace of mind knowing i'm dealing with someone reputable than try to save a couple hundred bucks
