86th St. Photo and Video? Or from TechOn Digital? Prices are super cheap, which has me worried about whether they're reliable or not
Anyone ever order from these sites or have any sort of insight? Thanks!

Ryan, don't waste your time on those sites. They are typical bait and switch scam sites. THey either sell you refurbs/grey market or make you call and upsell your a bunch of useless crap you don't need. Horrible ratings..
If the prices are too good to be true, it usually is. Stick to Amazon, beachcamera, b&h, etc.

Seems I'm a bit late to post, but I almost bought a lens... excuse me, almost got jacked by those fools. Don't want any one else to fall into the same trap.

Little bit of searching on the NY BBB, and they have all sorts of aliases.

Stick with B&H, can't go wrong.

Word... B&H are good and even there used items are pretty awesome too... When they rate their used products, I noticed that the condition is way better than the rating that the product received.

I've also ordered from Adorama and been pretty happy with their service and promptness at shipping.
