patriot Offline Upload & Sell: Off

Yes, we hear of instances where a big seller sometime ships a return as new. While we don't have the actual numbers, when you read their reviews, the ratio of this seems much lower than with some of these other, shall we say, less glorified, resellers.
But the big difference is, when these occasions occur with say B&H, Adorama, or Amazon, these are USA warranty items. So even if you decided to keep the item, it has a USA warranty with an authorized reseller's sales receipt showing it was sold to you as new. And if you don't want to keep it, B&H and company always seem willing to do an immediate no questions asked return.
Given Nikon's recent track record with DSLR's, would you want to have, lets say, a gray market D750 if, in 6 months or a year, Nikon acknowledges a problem, and authorizes a free warranty repair?

I've bought several grey-market cameras from NJ/NY eBay sellers and in all cases I received a brand-new body with all the expected accessories, so my personal experience has been good (so far at least). If you do a google search there have been instances where people have received obviously-used items from the big reputable USA dealers as well. I think the bigger risk here is the ability to get the body serviced rather than getting a used body or one missing an accessory.
