Yea, I called that place. (Cambridge? Smile? Abe's? Forgot.) Their reply:
"We'll bill your credit card, then we'll order it from Olympus for you."
Yea, right. I didn't find a single OM-3Ti in stock when I did my price
research.

My rejoiner to such BS: "You lucky guy -- great deal! Snap it up
immediately!" That usually shuts them up in a way that doesn't make me look
bad.
Another, not so friendly rejoiner: "Bring me proof of that price and that
the condition of the camera matches this one, and I'll match that price."
Again, they shut up and move on.
I have no argument with folks who don't mind banged-up stuff at lower
prices -- heck, I AM one of those folks -- but have little patience for
those who expect mint stuff at banged-up prices. Who do they think they
are, Doris Fang? :-)
