This site has the D2x well priced ($2765) has anyone dealt with them or

Since B&H probably pays about $3900 for the D2X cameras they sell tell me if
it is "too good to be true". . . common sense should tell you that when the
price quoted is close to 50% of the street price for an item it is either
stolen or it is a rip off operation. . .

While it is generally pretty hard to keep doors open on a 10% margin, I had
a friend who owns a small shop down in the Keys tell me he discontinued
Nikon sales because the margins on their high-end products didn't leave
enough room to compete with the New York houses. He continues to sell Canon,
so I assume they have dealer margins of significantly greater latitude.

Then howcome Cameta Cameras sells D2x's on ebay for about $4500.
Don't tell me the old saw about how they lose a buck on each sale but
make it up on the volume.

I have absolutely no information here, except that Cameta is not
losing money. So B&H is getting more than 10 points.
