I need a bridge. What is your asking price? Are delivery charges included?

As nearly as I can tell, they are not an authorized dealer for any major camera brand... not one.

I've bought equipment from Abe's many times because their prices are low. They will try to sell you additional warrantees or other items with your purchase, but you can keep saying no and you will still get the sale at the price originally quoted. You don't have to but any of the additional items or extended warrantees.


Wait till you do have trouble with something you purchased!!

Abe is actually in Linden New Jersey, not Maine.

I know a lot of people purchase from B&H but buyer beware. I was in the market for a D500 and went to B&H… to buy new. They sent the camera but I noticed the serial number on the box did NOT match what was on the camera. After contacting them letting them know this was a used camera and serial numbers didn’t match up they refused return/refund because camera serial and box didn’t match?!! After many calls and arguments someone finally believed me that they sent it this way… I was able to get a full refund. I will never buy/trust them again. Long story short… check your serial numbers against box…always.

And that bridge takes you right to Abe's front door, right?

Yeah, but for only the next 8 hours at the lower price. Quantities are limited so don't wait.

Isn't the reason UHH has a search feature so that we don't have to rehash things like Abe's ad infinitum?

Yup. Some fool buys it and then puts it back up for sale and another fool buys it. Same bridge. Different fools/suckers.

I have heard many weird and unpleasant things said about Abe’s but have never purchased from them so no direct experience from which to comment about them.

FWIW when buying new I have either bought in a local brick and mortar, Adorama sometimes and have been very pleased with KEH when they have exactly what I want in top shape. Their rating system has always seemed accurate to me.

I’ve never had a problem with any of these three. Keeps it simple for me.

My husband fell for their “sale” prices when he purchased a new canon mark iv 5d a few years ago. Turns out there was some thing (I can’t remember exactly what) about the camera being an “import” so there was no warranty; that would be an additional purchase. Appreciate your post.

Why don't we just stop talking about Abe's of Maine (which is not even located in Maine)

HUH?? Did I just hear you say what I thought I heard you say? Quote, Have a look at Abe's of Maine for really low prices. Please expound on why you would promote shopping with them. You of all people! I'm sitting here scratching my head on that one.

Sorry, I just saw the post about Abe’s for the first time, and it resonates with me so I replied. I didn’t understand it would be annoying to some…ooops!
