I have purchased from Abes of Maine and I was 100% satisfied with what they shipped me (Nikon products both gray market and non gray market Nikon) and with their service. They actually contacted me before shipping one item to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. They are up front with what the product is (gray market or not) and they are competitive in pricing. I will do business with them again.


Welcome to UHH. I don't suppose you work for Abe. Maybe you are Abe.

pego99, I purchased my original Canon gear from Abe's without issue about 4 years ago. I do not work for anyone. Gary

They have a very good price on a camera I want.

I am sure it is gray market but a very very good price.

Anyone have experience doing this.

Will Nikon still service gray market stuff for a fee?

Did you join just to say that :)

I don't know if these threads get started in order to draw in people to take a risk on a cheap deal.

There is always one golden rule

If it looks too good to be true it usually is.

I bought my D7000 from Cameta and had a very good buying experience. Quick ship and presented as it was. I also bought a couple of lens from B&H. A good friend of mine bought from Sammies and had good luck. Stay away from gray market as there's a ton of horror stories out there.

No, Nikon USA will not service "gray market" products even for a fee, regardless of where you purchase it.
No technical support, no software downloads, no warranty.
I would not deal with this company.
