There are so many suspicious things on that site. Here's a couple:

"[returns] permitted within 7 days from the date of purchase"

Not date of receipt of goods? If it takes more than 7 days to get it to
you, tough.

"Weight (without battery): Approx. 21 oz without battery,
memory card, body cap, or monitor coverd70s$429.00"

That could also be interpreted as the price without all
those items.

"Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items on
our web site may be mis-priced"

Hmmm.

You know what they say: " If it sounds too good to be true it
probably is"

Read the disclaimers.

It's either "gray-market", i.e. non-Nikon USA and impossible to get
warranty service on if it breaks ...

or ...

it's bait 'n switch.
