- I had have read a few notes concerning the new Sony CCD TR-101
- handy cam camera. Apparently Sony has placed an imbargo on the mail
- ordering of this camera. Sony states that they want to hold the fixed price
- of 1599.00 through retail stores, and not allow any mail ordering of this
- camera until mid 1993. From my info gathering I found this to be very true
- with the exception of some grey market activity.
-
- I personally purchased one of these cameras from a reputable mail
- order house at the beginning of December. The camera is USA warranted
- and they are a Sony Authorized dealer. I called them back to order some
- Hi-8 tapes and spoke to the fellow that sold me the camera and asked him
- what the deal was with the mail order imbargo as I had just bought the
- camera 3 weeks prior from him. He stated it was true that they cannot
- openly sell any of these mail order anymore because of Sonys mail
- order freeze. However, I mentioned that a friend was interested in the
- same camera and wanted the same "good" price I had recieved. He stated
- that he would honor this as long as "my friend" mentioned my last name
- so he could refer to the invoice.
-
- So..my friends if you are seriously "ready" to purchase one of
- these TR-101's Email me and I'll give you the details.
-
- P.S. I forgot to mention that the price I paid was 1249.00/NO TAX/3% shipping
- Oh..and by the way I have absolutley no affiliation with the dealer.
