Take this for example:

Thats about €599 from my usual supplier!
And its over €100 so free shipping - MADNESS!
No idea how legit they are, wondered if any of you guys have used/heard of em?

Haha, yeah right.
This happened when buying my TV, some site like that. I looked more into it, and they are legit... but you get what you paid for. Looking around for reviews of the website I was looking at, I found one poor guy who had bought a Nikon from him, and found the manual was all in Japanese.
EDIT: Last one on the list: http://www.redelijkheid.com/tag/syndeck/
EDIT: And someone actually decided to try it out, to see:
Hi,
I've given it a try and can tell you they are cheating. My attempt was to order a not to expensive article (159,- Euro for a Nikon SB800 flash). They answered friendly and in good english. After I payed via WesternUnion I waited with patient for a letter from our custom or even a little package. But nothing after a month. The delivery time was given with four (4 !!) days. So I wrote some mails. No response. It is clear now that they run this (quite professional looking) web site just to cheat.
Regards

The gold rule applies here. If it's too good to be true it probably is.
www.resellerratings.com is a great place to look into websites or just the company name + "scam" in google.
oh yeah and NEVER do business with western union or money orders...

Why do you want the 15mm fisheye? Seems like an expensive investment unless you will use it A LOT for things like skateboard shots and the like.

Mainly as I wanna experiment, and almost all the other lenses I have access to here in the office - only things were missing is a fisheye and a tilt & shift!

how much discount can you get off a 500 f/4 IS for me?
-
dIgital pHoto dude!
15% SRP
So not a great one, but its off the price on the website at the € rate

Senior Member
Yeah but 15% on a $5000 lens is good

hmm 15% huh? If you bought a lens of that caliber and sold it for even $200 off the retail price people would snatch it up pocketing you almost 600 just for that lens.
I have a feeling Canon has contracts and other guidelines against that you had to sign before being hired though, right? If not we need to talk
