New D300 $895.00 - 01-26-2010, 05:12 PM

In Ebay today more than 10 for sale 7 sold so far. Sounds incredible but the guy has 100% possitive feedback.

Update: I bought one using pay pal. I will let you know how it goes. If everything goes well my D200 will be for sale.

Update:
The ebay add was misleading because it said the camera was in California but they shipped it from China. Right now it is in customs in California. I think that if it is a brand new grey market D300 it is still a good deal. Guillermo

?Grey market.
Won't that mean no warranty?

Hopefully its not in a container full of lead toys and held up for too long.

It's more likely a falsification.
Why should anybody sell a brand new D300 for $895.-? Doesn't make sense.

WoW! Sounds like Andre took the words right out of my mouth! I saw that in my email and said "WHAT?!?!?!?". WoW!!! I hope you get it. I have been thinking about ordering an iPhone clone for dirt cheap. Just as I was trying to make a decision, I get an email from Ebay saying that the account I had been corresponding with that had REAL iPhone 3gs for a really low amount had been hacked. YIKES!!!

Because they sent it back to China to refurbish whatever was broken on it when it was exchanged, and now they are sending it back as 'new'.

It was shipped EMS (China's postal service) and it arrived in Los Angeles Feb 1 and turned over to US customs. The tracking # shows that it is still in Customs.
Since Feb 1st the package is in USPS hands.

AFAIK Nikon does NOT do that. They sell refurbished gear at a discount with a nice warranty. Several of the bigger camera dealers are authorized Nikon refurb sellers. My D80 was a refurb, I saved a bundle and could not tell it was not new.
