One thing that a lot of people don't realize is that you can use cashbacks sites on some of the large camera stores that will sometimes give you as much in cashback as the discount you could get at GT, at least on newer lenses where GT is typically able to discount less.I am not sure what you mean by cashback sites. Can you elaborate?
I think he means Amazon that will give you cash back if you own their department store card.

The only thing that's worried me from GT is their returns policy says that a lens must be unopened for a return. So if you get a lemon lens, you're left with no recourse?One thing that a lot of people don't realize is that you can use cashbacks sites on some of the large camera stores that will sometimes give you as much in cashback as the discount you could get at GT, at least on newer lenses where GT is typically able to discount less.

I bought my A7R3 and Sony 15-35 GM from GT.
The A7R3 was discounted by $500ish and the 16-35 GM was brought down by $250.
Also factor that you aren't paying taxes since most of the retailers are out of the same state.
You can muster a 20% discount from Amazon, but it's high risk, high reward.

Yup, $2850 to $2950 is the prevailing price range for A7riii at GT.
So, 2-5% less than some current mail order, that seems to match my experience. I wonder if they discount more if you bundle purchases?

You can order only 1 item at a time so bundling is out of the question.

I inquired about bundling and was told: "when you place multiple offers at the same time, our retailers do see it and we'll reply back with the bundle price if there happens to be a better deal on it if you buy them together, otherwise we'll send you prices back on each item."

Also, if you have an address in more than one state, you can indicate this in the notes and it may help secure a better deal with some products.

Common sense can be used here. Popular lenses in short supply are not going to give you much price relief. The more you want it, the less you save. Top lenses in good supply, like the 85mm GM ..Maybe 5-10% off. I'm curious how things work when there is a manufacturer promotion.

I tried to use Greentoe to buy my A9, but $4,000 was the best offer they gave me. I bought a new one here on the BS board for $3,500. I think Greentoe is great, but buying from people here who have a solid track record can be at least as good of a deal and sometimes even better.
