I got my D70 from them. Not only got a good deal, but got a rebate from
Nikon and a full Nikon US warranty. I have no idea what you're talking
about, unless you heard that from a competitor.

So, just say no. It's fairly easy.

BTW, if you're into scamming Circuit City, wait until it goes on sale
for less at Costco & buy it at Circuit City ... go back the next day
with Costco's ad & get the difference plus 10%.

I've un-intentially done that several times & Circuit City paid up with
out even blinking.

And I should point out Circuit City didn't tell the original poster the
Nikon wasn't covered by Nikon USA, someone else told him that about
Circuit City.

The ampersand suggests she typo'd on $2599.

Uh, when have you EVER seen an ad from Costco. They don't advertise.

Sure you did.

You're kidding? B&H has the D50 body for 599.95. The D50 w/18-55mm kit
is 739.95. What makes Circuit City's so hot?

That's probably true. On the other hand, I'd been dealing with B&H
for 20 years or so before I ever saw or heard of a Circuit City.

Could it be that $@599.99 was a typo for $2599.99? The @ and 2 symbols
share the same key.
