This company is showing up on Nextag with incredible prices and 100% positive reviews. (around 37) each of the "reviewers" gave them 5 stars (the maximum)
The Nextag seller description talks about 0% restocking fee. No physical address, not even a City. After I placed my order for a Nikon D90 for 745, - I received a generic email that would not even confirm what I ordered, not even my name on it or the price for the merchandise. Just an order number and a bunch of details that revealed that I did not order a regular camera in its original box.instead, the camera would be shipped in "a white box".
This email also announced that the price would change (tax, insurance, etc., etc.) I have never placed an order, entered my credit card number and then get a message that the price would be determined later. If I place an online order I agree to a certain price and that's what I get charged. After some research I found out that the whole purpose of the price well below their competitors is to call you and involve you in a high pressure sales conversation in which they disclose that the camera won't come with a regular rechargeable battery but with a "one way battery" (the description only talks about "battery" but won't specify what kind of battery. So at the end you will pay the same or even more than with a reputable seller. It also looks like the camera will be a grey market import, so you won't get any warranty through Nikon USA.
I read very similar stories about another online camera seller and it pretty much looks like they just changed their name after too many bad reports were posted. After posting my one star report on Nextag, it would not show up. It also looks like they are identical with "crazycameradeals". I canceled my order immediately and would recommend to stay away from this business.
