不断有朋友问在某某店看见非常便宜的摄影器材，若要购买是否安全等等的问题。

店家的好坏可以查询www.resellerratings.com
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
若还是难以确定，再问不迟。

一般来说，超低价格的都是黑店；没有rating的一般也是黑店

if it sounds like a fraud, it mostly is one.

============================================================
Comments:
1. Canon has a very loose policy on import(gray market) products. There is
almost no difference between Canon USA products and gray market products.
But Nikon has a very tight policy on them. They would not repair gray market
product even you pay them! Either you get a warranty from the store you
purchase from, e.g. B&H gives one year store warranty on gray market
products purchased from them, or you buy some third party warranty, e.g.
Mack warranty.

2. Buy Nikon products from Nikon Authorized Dealer to qualify rebates. To
check if a store is NAD, use:

3. If a product has a price tag 10% below B&H USA product price, it MUST be
a gray market product. If a store has a price tag 20% below B&H USA product
price, it MUST be a scam! To check a store rating, use:
