RAISED THE FREAKING PRICE to cover the rebate! Not sure if I can mention specific retailers here but it's one of the big 3 that everyone here buys from in NY. The others don't even mention the rebate on their sites.

Does Nikon do this? Are you really serious? A law to stop stores from charging the prices that they want to charge? Didn't you feel a little strange even mentioning this? α9 | 24/1.4 | 40/2.5 | 50/1.4 | 135/1.8 | 24-70/2.8 II | 70-200/2.8 II | Full Gear List

And even more importantly, are you still surprised by these price hikes? IT ALWAY0S HAPPENS!!!!!!! Sucks but it happens

Canon has a minimum advertised price that they enforce with their retailers. But Canon doesn't have a maximum price. It's up to the dealer to set their prices.
