Based on this good old standby (external link), I wouldn't touch that place with a 10-foot pole. If resellerratings.com doesn't give a vendor at least a 9.0, they are usually not worth dealing with. The ones below 2.0 are usually dyed-in-the-wool scam artists.

Looking at their ad confirms that they are quite probably scam artists....

It seems that there are a hundred ripoff artists selling stuff on the web for every one legitimate dealer. The bottom line - if the price looks too good to be true, it is probably a scam.

If you use Adorama or B&H Photo, you won't be ripped off.

there is one good saying in Russian "skupoi plotit dvajdi" - in translation it means something like, stingy pays twice - be careful with websites like that you can loose your money and get nothing. Its better to pay a buck or more and get equipment from reliable source.

Why?

Check B&H prices first. If they are out of whack from B&H prices then it's a scam.

Never ordered anywhere but B&H and Adorama and definitely never would, but I can't believe they can advertise on this great website.

I still like beach camera. B&H gets annoying only cause every time i go there to just look at an item, a window pops up saying they're closed. seriously, are they ever open anymore?

Anytime you have a great price from a site, you might want to check this thread first.
