Stop advertising for Abe's of Maine because you don't live in either Maine or New Jersey. Is Helix still in business?

B&H has the z800 on sale for 3695 -- 300 off the regular price. If you click Base on the options the price is as quoted. If you click on the next option it is the camera + a 128gb card + a camera case and the price is still 3695.00. Why is the giveaway at the same price as the base option?


New Z800 on B&H is $6500.

Did you order used or type wrong info?

Nikon didn't make the Z800 yet. I think they are still thinking about the price.

I just typed Z800 that the OP posted. There is a Z800 "https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?q=z800&sts=ma"

It just happens to be a lens.
I should have read beyond the original post.

Thanks!

The term "Loss Leader" means advertising certain items usually a limited number at a price below your coat (at a loss) to lead people to the site or into a store with a chance for an 'Upsell"
The reason for the free stuff is that Manufacturers set the Minimum selling price, so many dealers will have the same price. In order to get you to buy from them they are allowed to give other stuff at no cost. Often it is stuff you would never buy, a slow memory card or a cheap bag, but sometimes the stuff might be useful.
Not a lost leader, ( thats when the Lieutenant los... (show quote)




Exactly right. It is a loss leader designed to get people into the store where they might buy that item but more than likely will purchase other items as well.

Not a loss leader at all...it's the sale price for Cyber Monday...you can find the price all over the place.

It just indicates how much fat is already in the regular price...as usual.

Big dealers like B&H and Adorama have lower price than dealers that only sell a few but they are all forced to sell at the same price so B&H and Adorama can surely give away some stuff to get more sales.

It is a loss leader. Lots of stores do this to get you to come in and buy that item and while you're there you buy other stuff. Lost leaders are items that are they pay very little for and have a huge Marck up. Some stores like camera stores added in the price of the camera hoping you will buy from them
