Is this D80 deal too good to be true?

vlatkovr · Aug 30, 2008

I found a D80 body only, new for 595$ at this place:

http://www.digitalmegastore.com/product/?41718&cart_id=28796883

Also i checked the store at:

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Digital_MegaStore

and the marks are quite high. But i am still doubtful because these deal is much cheaper than all the other big stores.

Has anyone used this store?

It does look like a really good deal. I would want to know if it's grey market though. If it is then it won't come with a US warranty, which could be one reason it is cheaper.

There are not that many reviews. Be carful.

That was my first thought too. There is no mention of a Nikon USA warranty and one of the responses on resellerratings, the person mention that there was no warranty with the receiver they bought and no returns unless they also bought the store warranty.

I say RIPOFF - every "kit" includes a battery. The camera comes with a battery!

DigitalMegaStore is part of the Central Digital Inc. family of bait and switch shops.

These include dBuys.com, iBuyDigital.com, iBuyPlasma.com, RealDealShop.com, DigitalMegaStore.com, and CentralDigital.com

You might want to steer clear of them.

Thx for the answers guys. I wonder why they had such a high score on reseller ratings.

Look on the website and click on View Included Accessories: everything is there, battery, charger, strap, etc.

The optional kits with extra battery and memorycard don't mean there isn't one in the first place.

Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger.

This is a Nikon refurbished unit. It brings all the original accessories however, it has only 90 day Nikon warranty.

Now how did you come by that opinion......it says brand new, what it does not say is Nikon USA warranty

lets just say, if its too good to be true than it probably isnt. I came along alot of these sites and as soon as i saw prices like that i moved on. off course now the d80 price will drop but still
