    Anyone ever use hotbuyselectronics.com?

    Has anyone ever used hotbuyselectronics.com to purchase a camera?

    Just curious... They have a good price and it shows that it comes with everything, including the battery and charger and such - the stuff all the BS websites don't such as infinitiphoto, royalcameras, etc...

    Still, I am unsure on this place. They are $100 less than the best legitimate price I have found on the Nikon D70s...

    Re: Anyone ever use hotbuyselectronics.com?

    Yes, they are notorious for bait and switch. I first ordered a pair of $250 bino from them, only to get a phone call A WEEK LATER explaining they are not in stock, but the "KIT" is available for MORE. Need I tell you my order was never filled

    But I got my LEICA 10X50 BN binoculars from them for $400 less than other dealers offer. I have a warranty card, but it doesn't have a dealer # written on it(which all authorised dealers have). I did get the same" KIT ONLY" BS story, though I know they always come that way(case/strap), and paid $49 over the web price.

    My advice is DO NOT BUY A CAMERA/ EXPENSIVE LENS from them!

    Cool Re: Anyone ever use hotbuyselectronics.com?

    I bought a Panasonic cordless phone from them, but when I received it I found out that it was refurbished and I had paid a "new phone" price for it. I can't recommend them. They appear to leave important information out of their advertising like "refurbished".
