I have been looking at buying a D7200, found this deal and am wondering if any of you have bought from them, and /or heard of them.

The price seems too good. I have not heard of them, but really seems way to good of a price.

In the description it states that it is an import -

Poised to deliver in the most challenging of situations, This Nikon's D7200 Import model is a versatile DX-format DSLR that caters to both still photography and video users.

They do not indicate they are an authorized Nikon dealer -
They state it comes with a USA warranty but not a Nikon USA warranty -

All indicators of being a gray market camera that Nikon USA will not support.

I wouldn't touch them. Any sites like this where it is impossible to obtain info on where they are based, don't give a precise address and have poor reviews should be treated with suspicion !!!

Doesn't sound kosher to me. With Black Friday coming up, everyone is having sales. I would concentrate on Amazon, B&H, or Adorama. Good luck.

I haven't but I will comment.

I know that saving a few bucks or even a few hundred is tempting, but in my experience buying from B&H, Samy's, Adorama, or KEH are much better for the nerves and the peace of mind.

They are reputable, and offer a full no questions asked money back guarantee.

In 3 weeks when the camera malfunctions, you will still get great service and a friendly return.


To me, it's not worth the potential headache.

According to the Better business bureau this Brooklyn company has been around since 2009 with no track record.

I bought a D7200 and it is a way to good a camera to take a chance on a gray market product from a questionable company. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming. Go with the best price from a reputable company and within a month of using it you won't feel cheated, the camera is that good.

If you click on "Product Includes," you might notice that neither battery or battery charger is included. That's an indication right there that's something not right.

Many thanks for those who have replied. I will wait until I have the funds to buy from a reputable company.

Smart move. B & H has it for just under $1,100 and includes a memory card. Crisp Deals is at $800 plus about another $150 for battery and charger, so it's only $150 difference.

As others have advised, please consider this company very carefully before you decide to purchase from them. Here is a part of their "Terms and Conditions" that you should pay attention to, especially the last paragraph:

Notice: Limit of Liability:


CRISPDEALS.COM, IT'S CORPORATE OFFICERS, AFFILIATE'S,, DISTRIBUTORS, SHIPPING PARTNERS, AS WELL AS THE MANUFACTURERS OF SOLD PRODUCTS, SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF REVENUES OR PROFITS, INCONVENIENCE, EXPENSE FOR SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICE, STORAGE CHARGES, LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OR MISUSE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, THE PRODUCT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL RECOVERY OF ANY KIND AGAINST AJRICHIECIES.COM, IT'S CORPORATE OFFICERS, AFFILIATE'S, DISTRIBUTORS, SHIPPING PARTNERS, AS WELL AS THE MANUFACTURERS OF SOLD PRODUCTS, BE GREATER IN AMOUNT THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE [LESS ANY SHIPPING,HANDLING AND INSURANCE FEES THAT WAS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO SHIP THE PRODUCT] AND CAUSING THE ALLEGED DAMAGE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU ASSUME ALL RISK AND LIABILITY FOR LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY TO YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY AND TO OTHERS AND THEIR PROPERTY ARISING OUT OF USE OR MISUSE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE PRODUCT.NOT CAUSED DIRECTLY BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF AJRICHIECIES.COM, IT'S CORPORATE OFFICERS, AFFILIATE'S, DISTRIBUTORS, SHIPPING PARTNERS, AS WELL AS THE MANUFACTURERS OF SOLD PRODUCTS..

PLEASE NOTE : THE REASON CRISPDEALS IS ABLE TO SELL PRODUCTS AT A LOWER PRICE IS BECAUSE WE ARE A WHOLESALE COMPANY AND EVERYTHING IS IMPORTED FROM OVERSEAS. IMPORT MODELS STILL CARRY WARRANTIES; HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT COVERED IN THE USA. ANY PRODUCT THAT INDICATES THAT IT COMES WITH A USA WARRANTY IS WARRANTIED THROUGH CRISPDEALS.COM.

At least they're honest about who they are and what they do!

Canon and Nikon, as well as other manufacturers, closely regulate the selling price of their products through their authorized dealers. If you find a "deal" that looks like it is a big savings, then something is wrong. It's grey market. It's not an authorized dealer. It's a rip-off or scam. Any or all of the above. Stay away. The cheapest way to buy quality equipment is through an authorized dealer. Some are better then others to deal with, but if it is an authorized Nikon dealer then it has to meet certain standards and pricing. Unless you are in a big hurry, I would just monitor pricing at the big dealers like B&H and Adorama over the next couple of months. This time of year there are often some very good pricing and incentives popping up.
You might want to contact hog member MTShooter. He is a Nikon dealer and very reputable. I'm sure he can get you any deal that Nikon offers.

Their web site gives a phone number only. No physical address.

In my life this is a "don't even think about it flag".

I would not even consider them.
