I was wondering if anyone might be able to share an experience buying from century 21 electronics. They have some *incredible* sales fro the holidays, Nikon D80 for under $400, D200 for $600.

They seem to have positive reviews on shopcartusa.com.


Any info would be marvelous.
 
Hmmm

FotoConnection has a rating of 2.2 out of 10 (at resellerratings). You seem to have been awfully lucky to make 20 purchases without a complaint. :huh:

I've heard terrible things about fotoconnection as well. you'll notice that hockeybooza joined today, and that was his first post. He probably has connections with the company and is trying to boost their sales. You'll see this a lot in the company rating sites a lot: a crap load of bad complaints and then those 2 or 3 positive reviews probably from people that work at the company.
 
"Yo yo Bob's deal bonanza what can we do for you? Yeh we got dose in stock and we'll even trow in a hard case. yeh yeh.. lemme just get those digits.."
 
I'm glad hockeybooza signed onto DVXuser with their very first post to tell us that resellerratings is wrong because he bought 20 things from them with zero trouble.

I think I'm going to go get that $400 D80 now.

Out of 276 lifetime reviews they have a 17.5% satisfaction rating. (1.75 out of 10)

As a referrence B&H has a 93.4% rating with over 2600 reviews.

Oh man oh man! Thanks guys! I hope I was one of the first 5 purchasers because then I get that BR-HD50 free! Man I was so excited just to get a $5500 HD cam for only $600!!! But now I'm really excited because I think I'm going to get the BR-HD50 deck... which is normally three grand... for FREE!!!

Oh happy day! There IS a God... thank you... oh thank you. I was going to start a new thread about this wonderful deal... but I decided to be greedy and not mention it yet... this way I can be sure to get one of the 5 free $3K HD decks sent with my $5500 cam that only cost me $600.

Heyyyyy... wait a minute. Do you guys think this is too good to be true?

No really... give it to me straight. Is there REALLY any reason that a store wouldn't be selling wonderful items for WAY under every other store's wholesale cost?
 
Hehe...

"Do you guys think this is too good to be true?"

It's hard to say for sure....resellerratings has them at 203556 x VERY DISSATISFIED and 3 x SATISFIED. So that means that you very well could be number 4 on that SATISFIED list! The odds are even [slightly] better than the Tri-State Lottery!

Thank you

Thank you

The only reason I registered here is to thank you guys for the heads-up; I was tempted to buy from these century fellows as well, luckily I did my research and stumbled upon this site.

Thanks again, I'll stay away from such low prices... rather be safe than sorry!

We just placed an order yesterday for a Nikon D80 Kit. We were asked to call to confirmed the order which we did. They asked if we wanted to get the warranty on the camera and I said that I would just have the factory warranty. They told us that there was no factory warranty... I asked what? On your web page it says "USA Warranty"! I was informed that it was a USA WARRANTY by the store for 7 days only. What a bunch of BS... So misleading, They are selling Gray market cameras and trying to make you think it is a USA camera.

I canceled the order and I'm going to tell everyone I can to stay away from this bogus outfit. I also had a friend that was buying a D200 Kit, which is also being cancelled.
