Are some purchasing websites to good to be true?

Question

I'm trying to buy some camcorders for my self and my church and I've gotten on to this website bestpricecameras.com and they offer expensive cameras at low prices and I was wondering if it was to good to be true.Or if it was all what it seems.

Answer 1

I just did a search on bestpricecameras.com and checked out a forum that said to stay away from them.  It is a shady sounding company.  I do a lot of shopping at www.jellyfish.com  There you can search by store, category or specific item.  Check them out.

Answer 2

There a bunch of electronics sites, with addresses in and around Brooklyn, N.Y., with almost the exact same website layouts, the exact same specials, odd things like that.  Apparently, they seem to be linked to the exact same people.  I don't know what's up with them, but I stayed away from them.  That's one of those sites.

I stick with B&H.  Never had a problem with them.  Just one time with one salesman who wasn't sure of the proper procedure with the wrong version of a particular software product, but he did explain that there might be an issue at the time of sale, and gave me specific instructions about what to do to solve that issue.  Everything ended up working out.  Overall, I've found them VERY helpful and knowledgeable, and their prices are quite good.

EDIT: I've read the posting in that forum about bestpricecameras, and am now roughly 1129387931% SURE that they are FRAUDS.  In fact, we should send e-mails to every major news network in the area, with a link to that forum's horror stories, and get those investigative news teams on the case.  It's THAT bad.

"Best" price does not mean cheapest!
