I have been watching a price of Canon 5d camera and other accessories for a while.
Interestingly the prices have not come down. The so called sales by the noted dealers if read between the fine lines is not a sale at all. It reminds me of the price fixes by Supermarkets. Any thoughts? No wonder we make an attempt to buy it from hongkong dealers. Its a another Great Britain rip off taking advantage of the EU laws.

Many thanks,
allow me to educate.
Please follow the link where we as a United Kingdom cannot allow ourselves for a rebate. With regards to prices
1500 US dollars is not equal to 1500 GBP, if you can make sense of what I mean.

I worked at Rumbelows 25 years ago and I remember some items going up in the Sale. Sometimes there were some genuine bargains and loss leaders.

I wish Trading Standards, Consumer Protection or whoever were a bit more proacitve, going out policing 'sales' rather than waiting for complaints before acting. They move so slowly too that loads have been ripped off, the sale is over by the time they do anything.

Did you see the Mary Portas thing on CSL sofas? She persuaded them to do away with the phoney price cuts and they did, but because others (SCS, DFS etc) haven't followed they've had to reintroduce them.

i thought stuff had to be at a higher price (when i worked in a big store under DSG) for a minimum of 6 weeks, doesnt have to be all stores either, as long as its A store (prob somewhere obscure but legal)

Thanks for 'Educating' us lol. I would say if you wish to get round paying import tax by buying from Honk Kong you will be letting yourself in for a right Long-Head-Ache if something goes wrong. I personally own two 5D2's both purchased from UK retail shops and they are worth their weight in gold to me !. I cant see their being any change in prices or the high demand until ( if and when ) the 5D3 hits the shops. Just get out there and get one bought they are amazing cameras.
