Tri State Photo

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Tri-State has a pretty bad rep. Stick with Adorama and the couple others
with a reputation for honest dealing and you won't be back here crying next
week.

Any experince with Tri-State photo out of NY. They have new in the box
(US) D-70's for sale on EBAY for $1140 including shipping. They say in the
add there is a $100 coupon rebate from Nikon and of course you would avoid
local sales tax.>>

I walked into Tri-state and bought a D70 after they let me return my 8800,
which I wasn't happy with. A real store will usually be quite different from
their website, so this may not be applicable. I bought my D70 for 1028.00 with
18-70 kits lens AFTER the rebate from Tristate.

Nobody's mentioned resellerratings.com. Always look there
before dealing with an unknown store.

Go with what people here recommend. Pop Photo is in the business of
promoting crooks - that is who pays their bills.
I deal with Adorama
www.adoramacamera.com
and have since the mid to late 1980s. I know them and trust them. Start a
thread. Ask for recommendations. You will find a couple other companies that
get high marks from users, but most of the scum that advertises in the back
of Pop are not going to deliver.

You didn't read what I wrote:
"Go with what people here recommend."

Pop Photo is NOT a reliable source even if an honest dealer or two
advertises in the magazine. If you ask a crack whore for directions to the
nearest good hotel, she might, on occasion, actually direct you to a hotel
where she doesn't get a discount on the rooms and there are no stains on the
sheets. This does not mean that when in a strange town you should seek out
crack whores to get hotel directions.
