Scott has hit upon the real business of some camera retailers. They
don't make any money off the products, but they do real well off the
"float". . . . They not only have your money for the time between
charging your card and delivery, but for long after that: They've
negotiated 60-day, 90-day or (much) longer terms with the distributors.
