Funny thing is, Walmart does sell some high-end Nikon gear, such as the D800 for example, on their website at least. Generally their prices are not much different than anyone else's (considering the major players selling larger volumes of Nikon gear on-line), but I was once tempted by a great deal on a D300S package that included the 70-300 VR lens, to the effect that I basically got the D300S body for a price under which it was selling for anywhere else by a meaningful margin with the 70-300 VR lens basically thrown in for free on top of it!
The body was meant for a relative who didn't end up using it, so I sold it and it is now being used by another FM member. So basically after selling the D300S NIB I was left with a free 70-300 VR Nikkor lens courtesy of none other than Walmart! Now that was a great deal! And sorry, as yes, this trip down memory lane is not about photography but then neither is the rest of this thread. ...Show more →

And despite such a great deal, Mom & Pop shops and other retailers like Target, B&H, Amazon, Hunts, Cameta, Adorama, etc. etc. etc. are all still in business. WOW, how is that possible?
