K20D price??

mickey · 11-24-2008, 07:51 AM

I bet someone mixed up the "price" and "you save".
Credit it to them if they ship at those prices...Xmas comes early.

farfisa · 11-24-2008, 07:54 AM

You sure you don't want to order the kit? It's only another $620?

Yeah, they'll probably cancel them all, but I'd hate to be the person to come into work and see all those orders...

MidwestMax · 11-24-2008, 07:58 AM

Has anyone received confirmation of their order being shipped yet at that price?

Jimg · 11-24-2008, 08:16 AM

It's back to $739... We'll see what happens! I ordered one for my wife...

Yup, it's back to $739. It had to be a typo, but we'll see if they honor all of your $239 orders!

Jman02 · 11-24-2008, 08:49 AM

I guess I should have tried to order one too just to see if they'd honor it. I just wasn't sure how Adorama's reputation was. You hear so many things with these electronics dealers selling black/gray market stuff. It was 6AM here and I came into work early and checked out amazon's price and almost fell over. I thought "this has to be a mistake".......Boy if they honor that price to a few people, then I truly messed up by not ordering one.

Venturi · 11-24-2008, 08:58 AM

Well against my better judgement (and shockingly with the wife's permission!) I ordered one too. I guess since I had it in my shopping cart already the $239 price stuck because it was back to $739 as soon as I finished the order.

Anyone want to take bets on how long it takes Adorama to reject the orders?

bigben91682 · 11-24-2008, 09:01 AM

I've watched *************** for years, and often partake in these price mistakes. They never ship but I've also never had my credit card charged before....who knows.

Adorama has a good return policy. I rank them just behind BH overall but their prices are sometimes a little better on lenses but not on other things such as accessories. I got a used lens from them about 6 months ago that had iris issues. They paid for the return shipping and gave me a refund.

Edit: Adorams sells a few grey-market items, but they are clearly marked.

It wouldn't surprise me if Adorama honors these orders.
