Serious Compacts For Life
At least I'm pretty sure I did...
There is a long thread over on POTN about Greentoe.com, where you can make an offer to purchase cameras and all sorts of other stuff. Only authorized retailers are used to fulfill orders. No shipping. No tax. 14 day return policy or the return policy of the retailer, whichever is longer. The only trick is that you don't know who you are buying from until your offer is accepted.
I've never used this site, but I was bored. So I put in a bid for the RX100m3 at $685, thinking I have no shot. But they supposedly will counteroffer, so I figured I'd at least see what the bottom line price is. I got a counteroffer at $710, which I was going to accept, but didn't have time to respond to it because of work. A little while later I got a message saying my original offer had been accepted. Retailer is Unique Photo, whom I've dealt with before with no issues.
I'm not 100% sure this is done just yet,as my order just says "processing", but based on a lot of folks on POTN using it I am not too worried about the legitimacy of the service or transaction.
Considering this camera is very new to the market and listing at $798 I am pretty happy and surprised to get it for $685. I'm hesitant to promote Greentoe before I receive the camera and can verify that there are no bugs in the process, but I wanted to pass it on in case anyone else is interested in RX100. Not sure if another sale at $685 is possible, but even $710 seemed good to me. I was ready to pay $798 with 3% cashback for the camera and some useless accessories from Adorama.
I'll update this when the transaction is finalized.
