Hi Kelly, and also to whomever this may also apply to, the legal california tax form to reduce tax to 3.25% is called the 6378 form. It gives a 5% tax break for folks doing post-production in CA, from 8.25% down to 3.25%. Since the DVX can be used as a deck, it qualifies. That makes tax only $109.:cheesy:
If you live within 150 miles of LA, or can pickup in the lobby, you save an additional $50 :thumbsup: we get a break from Panny, so we transfer it to the customer.) So a credit card price in LA is $3349.95 + 109 tax = $3458.95. All our advertised prices cover credit cards.
It is immoral to advertise a price then charge more money for credit cards :angry: Even ebay makes clear that it is against their policy for sellers to charge more for paypal after the sale. You can give discounts for cash, but it is unprofessional to charge more for a credit card.
So, on top of that price, as galt mentioned, you can get a further cash/wire transfer/check discount of $50. So a cash price in LA is $3299.95 + 109 = $3408.95. :grin:
If we are shipping it in Cali, it will be $20.
The cool part about buying local, is that for an additional $10 over the NY price (if you pay cash), you can inspect the product right there in the front lobby. If you have a persistent problem in the first 2 weeks, walk it in and get a replacement camera. No RMA, no headaches, no waiting. If you are too far to pickup, it is still cheaper to ship in CA, and it gets there in 1 day.
If you are outside CA, there is no tax to worry about, just a low $25 shipping charge and $15 for insurance against damage in transit. B&H does not automatically add insurance, you have to request it. So their online freight price does not reflect it. We charge pretty much the same for Fedex AIR 3-day as they do for UPS TRUCK 3-day, given the same shipping distance. It is obviously cheaper for them to ship to MA, but not by much, usually just $3 or $4.
So, outside CA, it is: $3397.95 + $40 freight = $3437.95
If you pay via wire transfer or check, it is $3327.95 + $40 freight = $3367.95
Thus, in summary:
Credit card price in LA is $3349.95 + 109 tax = $3458.95
Cash/Wire/Check price in LA is $3299.95 + 109 = $3408.95Credit card outside CA $3397.95 + $40 freight = $3437.95
Wire transfer or check outside CA $3327.95 + $40 freight = $3367.95
Most DVXusers falls into the last category, where they are outside CA, but can send a wire from their bank. It adds 24 hrs to the order, but it saves $70. That should be the cheapest online price from a legit dealer.
