Someone at Fred Miranda posted the discounted price.

I verified it. $1975 + tax. Sold and shipped by Amazon.
 
After logging in and proceeding to checkout (I am a Prime member) it gives me a ship date of Dec 14 to Florida. Is it backordered again? I suppose it's a nice deal if you can wait a month for delivery.

I just bought one at that price, delivered to Tampa yesterday. Must’ve been lucky. Lenses on sale, too.

Competition at Amazon? That is the only retailer offering any sort of discount on the OM-1.
 
Is it US or import model? What is warranty?
While I saw no indication that it is a grey-market offering with a non-standard warranty, Amazon would be a better source for that information than I am.

I already have one but if I was interested in buying, I would certainly check as some items sold thru Amazon were grey-market.

There was long file in Printers & Printing several months ago. I believe it was an Epson for Central or South America. Took several months for him to get a refund.

I purchased mine through the Olympus store on Amazon. Seems like a good way to go.
 
Looks like Amazon keeps changing the price, this morning it was 8% off, now 17%! $1,821 + tax...

I just noticed the same thing. My camera bought at 11% off hasn’t shipped yet. I’m wondering if I should cancel and order the 17% off.
But no-one else is showing that price. I’m not really sure what is happening with their pricing. Does Amazon have a lowest price guarantee before shipping?

I tried to have the price adjusted, chatted with someone and talked to a machine. Looks like the only way is to cancel and order again, just did that. Luckily my Amazon card's credit limit is high enough. $379 off is quite aggressive, nobody else seems to be discounting OM-1 yet...

I did exactly the same thing. They couldn’t do a price adjustment, so I cancelled and re-ordered. Now I’ll be getting it on Friday instead of Tuesday. If the cancellation does not go through, I may receive two and have to send one back. But I’m happy to wait a few days if it means I can get a large SD card for the difference in price.
One other thing I asked was that it is a US model and not international/gray market, which the chat agent confirmed.

Tempting. Since it is the OM System Store selling it, they better be honoring US warranty.
 
Ordered Friday with overnight shipping. Received Saturday unboxed - everything looks good. Was setting it up today and went to register the camera with OMDS. There is no US warranty provided. I called customer service and there is no option to purchase a warranty. My other OM-1 came with I believe 3 year warranty.

Shady practice sold and shipped from Amazon but does not disclose it is grey market import. I am sending it back. Not worth a small savings to forgo a warranty.

Thanks for the heads up. I was worried about this and asked the customer service chat agent. Regardless of what they said (confirming that it was a US model), if you can’t register it on the OMDS site, it is not worth it.
My re-order didn’t go through because my original order shipped. So I’ll see if I can register it. If not, it’s going right back.
 
Shows $1841 in the Amazon om store. But when you click on it to buy it shows sold by yangwen something . Looks like a Black Friday to good to be true gray baby.
