Some 'Scepticism' is Wise

Hi Mike -

I remember seeing an ad awhile ago on a popular camera magazine's site from a firm based in Holland that claimed to be selling cameras and other popular items in order to raise money to "save the whales". The website looked impressive, but they wanted the equivalent of a money order sent to their address. A little on line research revealed warnings to the online community from some poor souls who had been fleeced.

As far as other more legitimate businesses, many of these great camera deals are for cameras that have been returned and/or repaired. Or from the "gray market", that is, cameras produced for markets other than the U.S., and possibly without valid warranties.

Let the Buyer Beware......
