$3500 deal for EOS 1D Mark III at Dell

[bob jr.]

Is this no longer running? When I do a product search on the Dell site, I get

nothing - this camera doesn't even come up.

I was lucky enough to get mine two weeks ago with the blue dot.

Sometimes with Dell, they run a special and you just get about an hour to get in on the deal then it vanishes and you'll never get it back. Dell can also take weeks or months to deliver. But they often offer the best deals. I got the 5D for $2,300 last year, with the double rebate that put the body at $1,700. A year later, you still can't come close.

I was looking for the Mark III and I found it for $2100 on bestpricecameras.com . I am assuming that there are refurbs, not new.

Why am I suprised everytime someone mentions places like bestpricecameras.com. Do some research before handing over your dough.

This is a bait and switch operation that sells gray-market items. After the internet order is made, they want to "confirm" your order, which is no more than an opportunity for them to give a high-pressure sales pitch and get you to pay more. Their $849.00 5D is represented to be a polycarbonate housed item (that was never made by Canon) and for the regular price, they will "upgrade" you to the mag housing. A $28 shipping and fondling fee is added plus a 7% shipping charge. I managed to cancel my order before I got hosed.
