I found this Website store that has prices that seem to good to be true. Their Konica Minolta a200 camera is $424. The price is more than $500 at other stores. Could their price really be that low? Here is a link to the web site.

Okay wow, this company has the worst rating I have EVER seen at www.resellerratings.com.

I would stay away from them at ALL costs.
EDIT:
One of the more recent reveiws that adresses the price issue
"I ordered a Digital camera. What a mess. I felt like I was buying a used car! So I get this email that tells me I need to call to confirm my purchase. I call and they tell me I bought a wholesale digital camera. In other words, I was only getting the camera and that was it. If wanted the battery, recharger, and software (which is included normally by any other store) you had to pay an additional $20. bucks! What is that all about. That is like buy a TV for $150 that retails for $300 and having to pay another $150 just to get the plug! I would NEVER USE or Recommend this company."

Well, I clicked on the Verify link of VeriSign:
"The system cannot find the file specified."
But this is what they say about their prices:
"Great Price
Our extensive inventory and tremendous buying power enables us to stock every make and model from the most standard 35mm camera to the latest in digital video technology as well as a full line of accessories. This allows Digital Liquidators to offer their customers the items they want at the right price without the wait (up to 75% off retail prices)."
You could always try and pay with a CC, and do a chargeback if you dont get anything. Hopefully your CC company has the service where they provide a one-time use number for online purchases instead of using your actual CC number.
Yeah, I'm a troll...

Check my post above man, this company is 100% SCAM ALL THE WAY BABY!
Resellerratings is your friend...
Oh man, I looked at the camera link more detailed now and they want $430 for 512 megs of Compact Flash memory?!?!
Also with that camera you wont be getting any of the accessories you would assume come with the camera. Notice all the "recommended accessories" Well sure they are recommended cause they are taken out of the box of the camera and then sold back to you.

That place seems a bit shady. I recently bought the new Sony Cybershot T7 from This place The camera retails on Sony's website for $499. they sell it for like $400. I made the purchase through a "buy it now" on eBay, and I was able to get a nice package that comes with all the accesories you really need for $420. I did some estimating and from either sony.com or bestbuy.com the price would have been closer to $550/$600. Just thought I would share a good experience with a discount camera retailer. They accept credit cards through paypal so if something goes wrong you wont lose all your money!

www.abesofmaine.com had the Konica Minolta a200 for $539.99. The price at www.thecamerabox.com is $679.95 for the Konica Minolta a200. I wonder why the prices vary so much.

Thanks, I thought that the price for a Konica Minolta a200 was too good to be true. Abes of Maine seems to have good prices. Has anyone here purchased a camera from Abes of Maine?

Buddy at work bought a digital camera last year from Abe's, based on my suggestion. The camera was as advertised and delivery was fairly quick. The down side was that Abe's tried to sell him an overpriced "accessory kit" consisting of rechargable batteries and a camera case of questionable quality. I wouldn't be afraid of Abe's, but be cautious about them wanting to upsell accessories.
When dealing with "too good to be true" camera prices, you need to ask if they are fully warranted products or "grey market" non-USA spec merchandise. Also, whether they are new or refurbished.
