J&K Cameras prices very low, maybe too low

I need some advice. The company above has an advertising page in
PHOTOgraphic mag.

Only advertisement I could find from the company. No web site listed.

Prices are to good to be true. I have been looking at a Sigma 170 500 MM and
found one here about $100 cheaper ($369).

They have Digtial Rebels for $709 with a lens.

But what gives nothing available on the web.

Ask them if these are "Gray Market" cameras...ones that don't have a US
warranty. I've run into this several times.

 

use some common sense, if 99% of the retailers are within a 2-5 percent
difference and then you see someone who has a major price difference you can
assume it is BS

Sorry but that is reality, stick with the known retailers such as
B&H,adorama etc..

 

Hi,

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But every so often somebody
that is new to mail order/web buying falls for this type of advertising.

Before you spend a dime, RESEARCH the vendor. Read reviews from other
customers. Check web sites like:

J&K, by the way, doesn't show up on this list, but you can get an idea of
what the item is selling for and the ratings of those vendors.

Here's what their place of business looks like,

They also have a different name.

See what you can find about that.

Looks like a fine, prosperous establishment to me!

From the web page it looks like they do business as Infinitycameras.com ... a
check on resellerratings.com indicates they have a zero rating from the 8
people who did business with them and wrote a review.

Here's a typical user response ... now you can see why their prices are so low.

<from resellerratings.com>
I ordered a Nikon CoolPix 5700 for $734.99, got the confirmation thru email
$799.09 ($64.10 shipping & handling). They shipped me a used camera and charged
my credit card $999.99 ???? I called the sale person (Victor) to get the
Merchandise Authorization number to return this product, he said it will charge
15-30% for restocking fee plus shipping fee and hanged up the phone! With
Infinity Cameras, the worst experience I've had with an internet company! Do
not give them your credit card number

 

There are some fine dealers in Brooklyn.

Check 'em out on resellerratings.com

Doesn't the USA have some sort of consumer protection laws?

We've got gun laws too.

Read the papers lately?

Every dealer should be thoroughly researched before someone gives them their
credit card info.
