Storefront costs vs. internet ordering costs

[Werewolf]

I Googled "Lorimer Electronics".  They sure don't have much of a web presence, either for their "store" or from consumers.  You'd think someone with that level of price competitiveness would be all over the net, especially from home theater enthusiasts.

I'd still be a little leery.

As long as digital is paying by credit card the risk he assumes is minimal...

Well, they are in Brooklyn, and they do carry photography equipment.

Expect a phone call in a day or two to confirm your order.  Then they'll start telling you about all the items you need or your equipment won't work--monster cables at an even higher markup than bestbuy, etc etc.  Once you refuse them, don't be surprised when your receiver magically becomes out of stock or they just flat out cancel your order and hang up on you.

legitimate products sold outside their intended market.  Example would be a Nikon camera intended for Europe.  It's a real nikon, but the warranty isn't valid.

They've got Sony guts, the guts are Sony.

You might ask around on AVSForum to see if anyone there has any info on this place.

Sounds to me like a case of too good to be true. I would check with the manufacturer to ensure they are in fact an authorized dealer and your warranty will be valid. Back about 5 years ago when I was buying home theater equipment many of the high end manufacturers would not honor warranty claims if you did not purchase through an authorized dealer. And some brands had no authorized internet dealers.

Indeed. I bought my Pioneer stereo receiver brand new through eBay, at about half the price of what I could get it for through a dealer. The warranty card was very clear that you get no warranty if you don't buy it through a dealer.
