Okay, I'm in need for a new digital camera. I used to have a Canon Powershot SD450 - which worked fine for me. Someone broke and is willing to pay for a new one. |

Holy crap! Teach me your ways! I can't for the life of me figure out how to use that site. Do you have to be a retailer or something? Maybe I'm just having one of my dumb moments, but I checked it out the last time you posted it... PM me, will you? Because I too am in the market for a DSLR. I was going to get the Nikon D40, since that's my budget, but... |
|
Oh dear me, what is this alibaba that you speak of. @____@ |
|
stick with canon. anyone who suggests otherwise is a communist. |
|
clear eyes. strong hands.
I doubt she can afford a DSLR, or has the interest in learning how to use one... |
|
Speaking of Digital Cameras, what do you think of this? I want a small camera that can fit in my pocket, and this one sounds really good.. I mean, 8mp, 5x zoom, very attractive design... All I want a camera for is vacation, and quick shots. |

Nah you don't have to buy in bulk. Just find the right seller. And make sure they send you the manual in english and not chinese or something. Also, most of the SLRs I've asked about on alibaba include the lens. |
|
Have you ever actually purchased anything from alibaba.com? |
|
Yep. And I've never been scammed. Just don't be an idiot about it. |
|
That's good. But how do you prevent scammers anyways? When I see someone selling 100 dollar ipod touches, it seems a little shady. Who do you buy from and what type of stuff do you buy? Anyone in particular you know you can trust? |
|
I'm a bit paranoid too, oh well, I'll just leave it to my brother to buy it for me. |

Well, alibaba obviously is not only scammers, as otherwise it would not be running with such popularity. But you have to be pretty good I assume to be able to spot the scammers. And regardless of anything else, if someone offers ipods for 20-50% of the original price, that's a scam right there. They do have discounted prices because, I am assuming, the companies buy tens of thousands of pieces from apple at prices 20-30 dollars off for each unit and then pass resell. I mean, just think of it in this sense: any "company" that is selling tons of ipods probably has some intelligence, right... well, from a purely economic point of view, there is no point selling ipods for like 20-50% when they can easily and consistently be auctioned off for 90-95% of the original price on ebay. |
