Mail Order

A good friend of mine decided to purchase a Nikon D70. He found one mail order for body only at $575.00. (The body normally sells for about a grand). The company was "Nation something or rather". First question. Do you want a battery with that? Another 125.00. Next question? Do you want a warranty with that? Another $300.00. ETC. ETC. ETC.

The final cost ... w/ a lens something like 1,225.00. This is for a camera that would have come w/ the lens and the battery and the warranty and everthing for less than $1,300. I just can't understand why some people think that mail order is so great. He gets the camera this Wed. I hope he told the dealer he also wanted a manual!
