everheul Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I'm going to buy a 20d, and called A&M after seeing an ad for a 20d at $809 with USA warranty. It sounds to good to be true, just want to hear from anyone who has delt with this vendor. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_cotter Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Eric, when you called and asked about the price what was their response? I have seen that ad and was curious about $809 myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everheul Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 Greg:when I called the gentleman confimred the price, and answered yes when I asked if it had a USA warranty. I'm used to dealing with Adorama and B&H and have had good experiences with both, even when problems have been encountered they delt with things quickly and to my satisfaction. Rob:Thanks, I will check it out the site you recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooi_loon Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Are you sure, I checked and price tag is $1249, but still considered very cheap? And found that EOS1Ds only $3449, any scam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul - Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Let's see... on <a href="http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1988.html">resellerratings.com</a>, A&M Photo World has a 6-month rating of 0.72 on a scale of 0 to 10, as rated by 198 customers. It has a lifetime rating of 0.69 as rated by 342 customers.<p>If you want a fair price from a reputable dealer, look at the "Support photo.net" box on photo.net's homepage. B&H and Adorama are good places to deal with. If you find prices significantly lower than theirs, you're probably looking at a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everheul Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 Thanks guys, looks like these guys are scam artists. I'll probably stick with my old standbys at B&H or Adorama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyrpowr Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 My limited experience, two vendors, is that they take your credit card, give you a confirmation number, tell you it's backordered and never ship They just want to get you on the phone to try to sell batteries, filters, whatever, at inflated prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_mays Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 ressellerratings.com it's the best but you have to take it with a grain of salt there are alot of very unsatisfied reviews you have to read them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_evans7 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Bait and switch! It is too good to be true. The price they quote won't include everything. If you cancel your order they will try to hit you with a restocking fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
