The dealer should provide the form. I believe you are suppose to be a production company to qualify. At some stores I just provide my business card and Tax ID number and I'm good, others are less detailed. I won't name anybody, but some stores I've walked out without signing anything and received the tax discount. I don't know all of the legalities of who qualifies, I do know there is a space on the form for your tax id. I guess if you freelanced and didn't have a LLC or Corp, you could use your SS#, should work.

Alright, I can't believe I just found this link but this should be all the info you need.

Thanks!

I do have a tax ID, so I'm not too worried about...this is a nice little discount as far as I'm concerned.
 
How is everybody finding the availability now of the 8GB cards? Did these dealers have them if you wanted two with your camera purchase?

Beware, there's now rumors of a Panny price increase since Mar. 1. See post 74 here. You may encounter higher prices now.

EDIT CORRECTION: See 47 below!!

We have not raised the price on the AG-HVX200. It is the same as it always was. There is no plan to increase the price.

Videotex Systems, Dallas, Texas. 800-888-4336. Ask for Barak Epstein at ext 121. Videotex has been receiving a steady supply and I honestly do not know what their allocation situation is at the moment. But they are authorized and will treat you well.

Thanks, Jan, rumor squashed! I thought that was strange. I wonder what the confusion is at AVS, if any.

Funny that I should mention Videotex since today Barak posted to our FCP Dallas group that they received a few units and as of mid-day Wednesday, April 5 still had some left.

I just want to come back and say a quick word about B&H.
Yeah their prices are great. They have a fantastic web site.
They must have a huge store in NY and have huge sales figures.
But for all this they don't know how to operate a simple international Visa card transaction!! You have to wire transfer funds over which adds about 80 euros to the price of any purchase.
I regularly buy stuff from American sites, Amazon for example and many others, who have no problem handling international Visa card transactions. There is no risk involved for the seller. But try telling that to B&H.
With their prices and web site (that's a World Wide Web site!) I can't imagine how many international sales they have lost because of this crazy policy.
It's a problem with a lot of American companies who seem to think the world is delimted by NY and LA. Beyond that is a kind of no man's land that is unknown and dangerous and houses lots of Afghanistans and Iraks.
 
I ordered my 2 8 GIG cards and they should be here tomorrow. Now I can finally use all the features of my camera!!!
Tuesday, 5 minutes before they closed, B&H said they had several 4 GIG cards. I called "almost" first thing this morning and they said they had none???
I told the guy what I was told the day before, and they suddenly found one???
20 minutes later I got a call from "a connection" and was offered the 2 8 Gig cards. Needless to say, I called and cancelled my 4 gig from B&H.

The funny thing is, while I was in Afghanistan, nothing arrived faster than an order from B&H... I don't know how they do it, but they are FAST!

It is not that they do not know how to. It is the amount of fraud that is going on - Nigerian, etc. They do not want to ship a camera overseas before they see real money, not a fake CC number...
