Does anyone have experience dealing with/buying from "Tri State camera" (in Brooklyn, NY., I think)? Particularly on buying new higher dollar items, such as Nikon lenses. I don't know much about them, so if you could give me the benefit of your thoughts on their reputation, would greatly appreciate it.
The big companies authorize stores to sell their products, and they control the pricing. If a store is selling below the prices of big-name stores, then you can be suspicious. Good stores will be selling at virtually the same prices, but they may include little extras to temp you to buy from them.
