Imported Nikon D7200 body for $750 or Refurb with 55-200 for $850
The Nikon D7200 body only goes for $1050 with a handful of freebies at authorized dealers (eg Adorama).

Over 500 units got sold from this listing so far.
The above is a high risk purchase, a happy medium for some may be going the manufacturer-refurbished route, you can get the D7200 body only along with the 55-200m f4-5.6 DX VR II lens and the Wu-1a wireless thing for $850 with a 90 day Nikon warranty by Adorama.

If you are a Prime member, you get free 2-day Prime shipping even though this ships from Adorama. This is one of only a few items (percentage wise considering Amazon’s inventory) participating in this relatively new promotion where Prime members get the free 2-day shipping even if the item ships directly from a 3rd-party seller. You can tell this by looking at the product listing closely, look at the annotated sections below:
Shopping Oddities: Amazon’s own devices drop to new low prices everywhere else but at Amazon
It is a day of shopping news today, we have an interesting oddity, some of Amazon’s own hardware devices have been discounted to new low prices across the internet, at various competing online retailers, but not on Amazon’s own website! This is a 1-day sale. It is a very interesting move, it’s like their hardware department is trying to convince competing retailers to invest in carrying/selling Amazon branded devices.
Example of these sales, the latest Paperwhite goes for $90 at Staples and already sold out at Sears. Their 10-inch Fire HD tablet (with microSD) goes for $150 at Sears, the Amazon Echo goes for $130 at B&H Photo, a handful of these on sale at Best Buy and so forth.
This is a 1-day sale, so it is possible that Amazon is planning to discount them on their own website after this sale ends. They’ve already been playing with rotating sales. But this is only a crackpot theory. I have no clue what’s going to happen.
PS: maybe they need to have a reality TV show of all the meetings where the Hardware people were pitching this and the people running the Online Store were screaming NOOOOOOO! 🙂
Shopping News: Walmart buys Jet for $3 billion
We have some meta shopping news! Walmart opened up their wallet and paid $3 billion in cash to buy trendy online shopping service Jet.com. The guy running Jet will take over Walmart’s US operations. Details and discussion of the purchase via Techmeme.
Jet has some interesting ideas in online shopping, for example, a built-in volume discount that adjusts dynamically based on how many units of an item you buy by pressing the “+” and “-” buttons. Volume Discounts are not a new thing, for example Adorama has had them for many years, but Jet made them visual and made the volume discounts bigger.
Jet also introduced something a bit disturbing for non-consumable purchases, you don’t know who the actual seller/fulfiller of a purchase is ahead of time. This may not be an issue if you are buying trash bags or music CDs, but it’s very important when it comes to authorized dealer status and things of that nature. Even for something as small as a memory card this is a big issue since there are quite a few fakes out there.
