Long Time Customer to B&H and Adorama

BlakeShellman · 09-18-2015, 07:47 PM

I've been a customer of both stores since 2007 when I bought a K10D. Since then I've purchased lenses, a flash, filters, batteries, chargers, memory cards, a K5, a K3, more lenses and more accessories from both stores. I also have tried purchase from local stores as well. Right now I don't have proof...but I sure if I contacted the stores we'd be able to track all my purchases.

And now I have to jump through more hoops to be able to buy from fellow members?

I don't think this has any relation to B&H or Adorama, but every member is able to buy from the Marketplace here on the forum.

Just to make sure we're clear here, this forum isn't connected to B&H in any way. As for buying or selling to other forum members, B&H has nothing to do with our Marketplace so I'm not sure what your post is referring to.

I thought I just tried to look at something for sale and it said I didn't have access because I wasn't a paying member. Or...am I hallucinating?

Everyone should have access to that. It's possible that you opened a link to a thread that was withdrawn or deleted.
