It's still hard to believe these prices. I got my Canon 580 EX II a couple of months after they came out for $340 w/ free shipping. (the good ol' days)

Upon placing the order they sent an email confirming the order. Then they sent a followup email saying they will call to confirm the order. I responded that I do not confirm orders and to cancel the order. They then sent an email indicating the order was shipped - a 50D w/USA warranty + Vidpro ACD-674 battery. They switched the original order for a Canon battery with a third party battery!! Not cool. When the pkg was received I returned the battery for credit but was not credited for the return shipping cost. "Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back."

Yea, stories like yours was what made me apprehensive and nervous right after pressing the order button. I believe I got three emails from them even before they shipped my flash. I'd consider myself lucky that all went well, and I got the flash in new and good working condition. While waiting for the flash shipment, though, I read enough negative experiences in the resellerratings.com that I'd probably avoid ordering any more from them in the future. I'd rather pay a bit more and go with those trust-worthy companies that I've been relying on for the past 5 years.

So how did someone purchase the 580EX II for $340.00? Is there a better time to buy? I just don't want to miss the canon rebates unless there is a better time/place to buy. Canon 7D w/BG-E7 grip
