Any warranty issue with buying from him? I cant risk the hit of an out of warranty repair. I see its a US model, but is it classified as coming from an authorized seller?

How does he sell a new A7RV for $2,750? Just wondering how this works.
I have bought several items from him as well, you won't be disappointed. Dealers can't advertise below retail. This is kind of like Greentoe, which, if you put in a price on Greentoe of about what he is selling the A7RV, I am guessing you will get an offer close to that.
One also has A1II for sale at $100 less than list price and says delivery mid-Dec, which is a couple of weeks earlier than anyone else. How does he get early access?

He ships from Cardinal Camera. I can’t see that they would get them earlier than any other dealer, so my guess is the dates being quoted by one or more dealers are estimates still and not necessarily exact.

There are no issues with buying from him. It is brand new Sony USA warrantied product shipping from authorized dealer Cardinal Camera with receipt in your name.

When I bought my A7RV this past spring I think I paid $3050 and was able to get a $50 rebate from Sony. The receipt came from Cardinal camera.
So I did buy the OWC enclosure what I did not see was its out of stock until like the 24th. I leave for LA gig on the Jan 1 so I should get it in time. I may put the 4tb in my drive case I have to get it setup but just be aware of the delay. It says 21 days

It's worth noting that you can get close to or lower than this price on Greentoe or just emailing Kurt at Cardinal yourself, and you can use your own CC for points/protection/warranty and what not.
I purchased one last Christmas for $2750 on Greentoe. I definitely appreciate what ysultan does, but I tend to use his posts as a gauge for what Kurt will accept on a Greentoe offer.

Does he work for them? There are a couple of posters that always post new items at a discount. The feedback is great for both them. Just curious how they do it .
Probably should not be talked about on a public forum per say. Sony could ding The retailers. Bottom line it’s all legal they just go about it in a different way.

Fair enough. Like I said plenty of positive feedback from reliable FMers.
