[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 390933, member: 13090"] The only "risk" is that those are what's called Gray Market items. Some people have very strong feelings about buying gray market so be warned. There's nothing wrong with buying gray market but you DO need to understand what you're getting as far as a warranty goes. Nikon repair centers will NOT honor the warranty, AT ALL; not even for the stated "one year". That's the biggest concern for most people. Warranty claims within the one year period have to be handled by the seller. So it's a bit of a gamble I'd say. By buying gray market you're betting you won't need warranty service, or that the seller is legit and will work with you should wind up getting a lemon. You can buy extended warranties for your gear from places like [url=http://www.squaretrade.com/camera-warranty]Squaretrade[/url] if you want. Here's what [url=https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/331/~/what-is-gray-market%3F]Nikon has to say about Gray Market items[/url]. I've bought gray market items, and will do so again in the future because the cost savings are so huge, but that's me. Some people want the full-on, 5-year Nikon warranty and I can't say that I blame them. It's personal decision, obviously, but I've never regretted buying gray market.
