When people begin getting frusterated with me I usually begin apologizing for bargaining. I really suck at bargaining I guess.

Were you arguing, or just negotiating? Big difference imo. Arguing is like "Give me $50 off." "No." Negotiating is like. "Well, I've got $1500 to spend, and I realise this lens is $1600. Is there anything we can do..."

I try to go for "corporate" approach
I say "my budget today is X $, and i am spending a lot of money, so you can take it or I will look somewhere else" It's up to the seller to determine if my offer is reasonable to them

Where in DC was this. I live here. Think they'd give me a 5D for $2400? :)

In fact, you still can give out your passport when you shop at BH and don't have to pay tax right?

Is that true? I thought travellers have to pay sales tax just like any New Yorker. I was visiting NY last year and bought some stuff for B&H. Showed my foreign passport (as ID for credit card purchase), but got charged tax anyhow. OK, i didn't ask for tax exemption, but if it is possible, I'll make sure I'll ask next time. Can anyone confirm?

Nice lens that 70-200mm 2.8. I bought some stuff at B&H one time and told them I was from the UK and the guy said I still had to pay tax.

I bought my 30D from B&H and showed my passport but still had to pay ST. I plan to buy my 70-200 2.8 IS from B&H next month. Please let me know if the ST can be avoided by showing a foreign passport and taking it out of the US.

Thanks
