Canon R7 Low Price of R7 in Walmart

[ctitanic]

I found that the price of the R7 at Walmart is more than $200 less than in any other online store. Good news for those thinking about buying this camera.

Amazon is also selling the R7 for the same exact price, however, it is being sold as renewed. Walmart doesn't say it is renewed, but on that page it does say it being "sold and shipped" by a company called JumboBuys. I went to their website and it says the website is not quite ready. Also, the website is not secure... it is http and https. That said, I wonder if JumboBuys is selling "renewed" R7s. They used to be a seller on Amazon, but has not been an active seller there for 5 years. Okay, just my 2 cents. I used to work in Cybersecurity as a "White Hat" hacker so I have a suspicious streak. Could be nothing at all and just a good deal.

And you have to be careful if it is gray market... that is the usual price for a gray market camera. I heard of that happening to someone who bought an R6 at Best Buy and had to send it in for repair and found out the hard way.

I too was in cyber security and have the same suspicious streak as AKVet, which is why I get "itchy" about buying expensive things through Amazon - full info is usually lacking. I know that Amazon is good with customer support and refunds, but I'd rather avoid that step altogether.

Good points, but keep in mind that this may be covered by Walmart return and refund policies.

EBAY is even more dodgy.

...for me it states: Redtagcamera, based out of New York and has an "F" rating with the local Better Business Bureau*

I enjoyed the audio book (cuz I am far to lazy to read it). Haha!

Yeah, I get your point...much easier using headphone while Black Hatting, then holding a book.

The vendor that I see is different, it's 6AVE Electronics. And it has more than 1100 reviews with 4.5 average.
The R7 is listed under two sellers with this price, RedTagCamera is the other vendor. I have bought before from 6Ave Electronics without any problems.

Edit: Checked the reviews for this seller and it seems that in some cases:
1- they sale cameras that are grey market
2- they sale also refurbished cameras but they do not indicate that in the description of the product.

wow. And I was trusting Walmart.

The good news is that in any of these cases you can return the item to Walmart and they will accept it back.

Why in the world would you trust Walmart?
