I can't believe that Nikon/Nikon USA would do this, but there it is in plan sight.
Nikon USA has a sale on refurbished gear this week with certain photo gear offered at a 10% discount.
Sure enough, there are D850s offered with the sale. But wait! Instead of the $2399.99 price that they were offered for earlier this week on the Nikon USA web site, they are now listed at 2799.96. With a discount of 10% bring the price before taxes to 2519.96.
Meanwhile, the D850 is still offered on more than one retailers web site at between $2495 and $2500 for a new camera.
It's not that the new camera costs less than a refurbished one that bothers me about this. It is that Nikon seems to be playing games by raising the price of the refurbished camera while hyping that it is having a sale.
Caveat emptor!? I guess that had better be the case when looking at this deal!
