Any authorized USA reseller that puts hard to get cameras on EBay auctions without a reasonable buy it now price (everyone deserves to make a profit) is not a place I would give my business to.
The Sony Nex-7 camera on EBay should have been made available to their walk-in/internet customers at the msrp (plus a little) before being put on EBay. They should not be selling the camera for $3550, the msrp for the camera is $1199. Sony should take their authorized reseller status away.
If they were not an authorized dealer the sale would have been legitimate. A authorized dealer has an obligation to sell the companies product at a reasonable price. Not like a ripoff electronics store on 42nd street in NYC.
