Think again.

I've tried in the past, when greed has gotten the better of me, to buy froma few. If it sounds to good to be true..

No, someone else did.

I just found the web page with the pictures.

Caveat emptor.

Excellent info!!! There should be a way to make this site popup anytime one of those stores are clicked on. For now, I guess I will just have to be satisfied that the info can be found!

A lot of these retailers work from their homes. The thing is, they are almost always buying from their friends/family at B&H photo. It is probally a situation of a web-based business and all these guys just "handle " the merch. Like a middle man. Personally, I always use B&H and have them ship to my office in NJ to same the sales tax.

Very elaborate scams! These rat bastards even have their own rating site: Price Head (http://www.pricehead.com/). Of course their rating is great there!

I almost bought some lens from them because it's $120 cheaper than other sites, but it sounded too good to be true. Checked it here and now I know better. Stay clear away from these crooks!!!

When checking out retailers, It's nice to have places like this and others.
But I also go and check the Better Business Bureau.
I have found that all the honest retailers prices are only a few dollars difference.
Realized that when it seems too good to be true, usually is.
