Default Purchase DSLR Online?

Hi,

I'm new to DSLR and would like to purchase a entry-level DSLR. While surfing the net, I chance upon a website which offers DSLR at a very low price (quite unbelievable). I would like to ask if anyone has purchase online before (particularly from this guy), and is he reliable?

The website is : http://www.seenotice.com/en/54/posts...amera_650.html

D90 kit at only $565 (USD I think), is this realistic?

when it's too good to be true, it normally is.

Get from a local retailer. DSLR does not have international warranty. Only Local.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about buying online cameras at ridiculously low price. One simple test is this. If you send money and they do not send the goods, what is your recourse. If you think you can get your money back, then and only then, decide if it is a good deal - and hey, don't trust the seller if he just say 'money back guarantee'.

Look at warranty - what if it is defective
Look at reputation - will you get everything you ask for
Look at reliability - will the sender send you the goods. What if the goods is lost in the transit - who will bear the cost

No use asking the forum - what if I said I have been buying from him for the last 20 years . Can you trust me? I could be the same guy using another nick.

It is sad sometimes, that the people who get cheated are those that can least afford it.
