D7100 and looking for discount website

Looking to get a Nikon D7100 and found a website several years ago I forgot what the URL was, but it had discount camera packages, (like super off retail price)- it wasn't BuyDig.com but something similar. They always had closeout sales and the site was red black and grey if I remember correctly? Anyone have any idea what website I'm talking about? I should have written it down but I forgot. :/ Am considering getting it from Ajrichies, but have heard bad reviews on them from Google, and some good reviews so I just don't know.. wanting body only btw.

Nikon D7100 Digital SLR Camera Body

Nikon D7100 Digital SLR Camera Body - Factory Refurbished includes Full 1 Year Warranty

I have bought a D5100 refurb and a 18-105 refurb from them and could not be happier with the equipment or the service from them.

Thanks, I will check those sites out! Does anyone have any GOOD experience with AJrichies?

I always google complaints

Looks like AJrichies really has a lot of complaints.

I bought a D7000 and Nikon 16-80 refurb from Cameta and am more than happy with the both. They were considerably cheaper that Adorama or B&H.

Crap... about AJrichies, that's the cheapest place I've found.. okay thanks Mike, I will look there.

on here I am getting some good reviews and bad ones.. *sigh*... Ajrichies.com Reviews - ajrichies.com/ Ratings at ResellerRatings I don't know which to even believe, I have less than 1K to spend (unless I save a few more months) so was trying to find it cheap like AJrichies has it for.. some people are saying they are great and they'd order from them over and over (from recently) aand other reviews say never order from them etc.. ugh.

I found that when you're gambling don't bet unless you can afford to lose.

okay, that is very true. I found the website I didn't save from a few years ago.. yay! I finally found it after like 30 mins of searching different sites and different wording in Google- it's www.bestpricephoto.com.. yay I am so happy I found it- mostly good reviews only 2 bad ones that I can see- BestPricePhoto.com Reviews - bestpricephoto.com Ratings at ResellerRatings anyone ordered from them before on here?

Be careful of super great deals. There's usually a catch. Check prices at B&H, Adorama, Cameta, Amazon, Best Buy. These are not the only reputable dealers, but you will get a feel for the current prices. Anything considerably cheaper should be a red flag. Refurbs from B&H, Adorama and Cameta can be great deals.

The really super deals never pan out. Item will be out of stock or doesn't include a battery or charger. Or the price is padded up and a lot of useless junk is included to make it sound good. These places will look to get you on the phone to 'verify' your order and then try to up-sell you or let you know that no battery or charger is included. If you hold firm, the item you really want will suddenly be out of stock. Make sure whoever you buy from is an authorized Nikon dealer or you may not have a real warranty.

yeah, you're right, I will keep looking- I found a cheaper place a little out of my budget but I'd rather have the guarantee that I get the product/the warranty etc, here is the site- Nikon D7100 DX-format Digital SLR Camera Body USA whats the difference between this one and this other one- that's quite a bit cheaper but same product? Nikon D7100 DX-format Digital SLR Camera Body

I'm looking at bestpricephoto.com ... I searched for d7100.... The first thing I see is body only USA kit $1499.99, $350 higher than B&H. Note the 'USA kit'.

The next camera I see is the d7100 with 18-105 for $1099.99 for $350 cheaper than B&H. Note that it does not say 'USA kit' which means no warranty or service in the US.

I just saw the Abe's link's you posted. Same situation.

oh.. I get it now, thanks for explaining it to me in that way, that makes sense. the reason it's so much cheaper because it's a grey market item and comes from Japan or something and has no USA warranty etc, right? so this one is USA warranty right? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/927106-REG/nikon_d7100_dslr_camera_body.html

Yes, thats good. b&h clearly marks gray stuff as imported. I haven't seen them list any gray cameras lately, only lenses.

Cameta is cheaper than Ajrichies
New D7100 body at Ajrichies is $1,299.99 vs Cameta at $1,149.00

Unless you buy grey market at Ajrichies and then you run into the problem of not being able to get it serviced by Nikon

I did quite a bit of checking before buying mine and Cameta was by far the best deal of the legit companies.
Initially I had some problems with PayPal and my credit card, because I moved to SC and my info wasn't up to date and they helped me straighten things out.

not buying grey market- getting it from BHphotovideo.. have ordered from them before and they have a deal going on till the 28th of this month.
