1080i Camcorder for $500?!

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Well, you could do what I did and click "add to cart". I get an error
saying "you have requested to buy more than this seller has available". So
it sounds to me like the item doesn't exist, if the quantity of 1 is more
than the seller has. This error was the same for the $500 camera and the
$499 camera. I tried the $3000+ camera and it WAS added to my cart.

Too good to be true.

Anyone that would buy a $3,500 camcorder for "$500" would get what they
deserve. This is obviously a scam.

Both of those sites seem pretty limited. I don't find any camcorders at either site.
