Default SB800 from AP

Need advice to confirm is this normal

I just bought SB800 from AP at $650 without the warranty. Was quoted $700+(can't remenber) to include warranty.

Is this the price to pay for SB800 without warranty?

hmm.... since transacted, quite difficult. I suggest you go back and "discuss" with them. Fair price is 650-660 with warranty.

I got mine at $650 1 month back also

Don't go AP unless you have contacts.

I was just quoted $660 at CP today.

Surprisingly. I called up this shop in Orchard, and he quote me S$625 for the SB800. Why i called that shop is becos my friend bought a D70 from them at a price also lower than any of the "big brothers". Maybe you guys like to call up the shop. The name is "Lords Camera & Watches". Go to Yellowpages webpage and type in this name and you will see the number of the shop.

Thanks All for the inputs,

Will go down AP and make some noise, hopefully they will make good.

This experience really sucks! Feel cheated and not to mention very unprofessional of them to do business this way.

Thanks again for the inputs!
