Yes, Henry Posner!
B&H sold me a used camera (Nikon DF) as a new one. Have guts to admit it! The PC terminal cap was missing and the shutter count was about 500 upon delivery.
You\'re trying to use your influence in this forum to make my report look bad but it does not change anything that B&H sales team did.
.. And after I started the thread at DPreview.com , you just posted your \"perfect speech\" and asked the administration of dpreview.com to lock the thread not giving me chance to respond with the facts. Right after that, you kicked me out of B&H for \"abusing return policy\" for year of 2009 (it was 5 years ago).
One item at a time:
We did not sell a used Nikon Df. When I found your comments in dpreview I checked the serial number for the camera we sent you. It was brand new and sent from Nikon USA to us to you, with no other intermediate steps. I do not know why the PC terminal cap was missing (if indeed it was) but the likely explanation is a lapse in Nikon\'s QC. The dpreview thread, Is a \"high\" shutter count on new Df normal? clearly demonstrates that numerous others received brand new Df cameras with higher than anticipated shutter counts.
I have no more influence here than anyone else except that I\'ve been a participant here since June 2003 and hopefully have established some degree of reliability among the forum members. I don\'t think I need to use my \"influence in this forum\" if there is any to make your report look bad. From the replies here and in the dpreview thread I cited above, it seems everyone else has easily been able to draw their own conclusions.
I did not ask dpreview to lock the thread. I\'ve never asked dpreview to lock a thread. Dpreview is owned by Amazon.com and I doubt they\'re interested in any request of that nature from me anyway. A forum moderator locked the thread. Complain to them.
We did not \"kick you out\" of B&H. We told you your return privileges were suspended until further notice because of a consistent multi-year pattern of egregious abuse which I showed you via email. Without posting data which should remain private I will say that your pattern of buying and then returning has become intolerable whether measured by number of transactions or by the dollar values. Our conversation about your abusive pattern of returns began last June.
