- Buydig / Beech Camera
- Posted by _R on April 20th, 2005
I'm told that Buydig is a branch of Beech Camera. Are these reputable
vendors for printers and cameras? They have good prices on the HP
1320 that I was considering. Any reason to avoid them?
Thanks

Buydig is pretty good. I purchased 3 cameras from them, never had a problem.
The only thing was, after my last order (I was buying it for a friend who
did not have a credit card) an agent called me from buydig and asked "what I
was going to do with all those cameras" (That was my 3rd order in 6 months)
even though it's none of his business. He was like interrogating me and I
hated it.

Beech has a long history of screwing the public. I don't know about their
web operation. I never deal with people I don't trust.

When did you ever buy from them?
I bought a camera from them and everything went fine.

I bought from Beachcamera in Nov'04. Good price and was shipped the
very next day. My cousin who went to the store said that they have
boxes and boxes piled up on the floor and were only interested in
showing you a camera if you bought one first.

Beach has no such history... I have purchased from Beach and BuyDig, both with
perfect results.

Mater of fact it is. They were Beach Camera of Maine until they ran afoul of
the State's Attorney General for nasty practices, so they moved to Brooklyn
and/or New Jersey where the mob keeps the law off slimy operators like them.

I read somewhere that they revamped totally after that. But as my
cousin told me its not a shop where salespeople are waiting to serve
you. You walk-in, pay and then they let you open the box. So no
question of trying out cameras before buying.

I have bought three digital cameras from Buydig.com and they are absolutely
first-rate to deal with. Very fast shipping and no annoying "confirmation"
calls such as some low-priced sellers use to try to sell you overpriced
accessories.
If you mean BEACH Camera, I doubt there's any connection with Buydig but I
don't really know. I have never dealt with Beach and probably never will,
since they have not enjoyed a very favorable reputation among buyers.

I certainly wouldn't buy from them. When a place has no "Goodwill" there is
no reason to shop there.

they promised.
The market is competitive enough that there is usually a reason that
a dealer is cheaper than the honest competitors.

Maybe, but my own experience with BuyDig (three cameras so far) has been
100% satisfaction. The cameras came exactly as advertised, brand new, USA
warranty, and shipped as fast as any dealer I have ever used. And I've
bought tons of stuff online.
If that "than the honest competitors" is meant to suggest that honesty
increases with selling price, and low prices imply some degree of
dishonesty, that is just silly.
Undoubtedly there's a *reason* for lower prices. I can buy exactly the same
watch, appliance or DVD cheaper from K-Mart than I can from some other store
.. . . and cheaper still from Wal-Mart, and so on. For digital cameras my
experience is that the best prices are invariably found over the Internet.
In every case there must be some *reason*, e.g. economies from larger sales
volume, special purchases, more efficient business methods, lower business
costs or just more aggressive pricing. I don't really care what the *reason*
is as long as I can get exactly the same product at a substantially lower
price. It pays to shop around, which why we shop around.
