The end of fiscal quarter is coming up, and it seems like NikonUSA is doing everything in their power to make their numbers. Besides making sure every new shipment from Japan or Thailand doesn't spend any time in the warehouse, it appears that NikonUSA has done a look through every nook and cranny and refurbished ever last item that was sitting around anywhere in any NikonUSA office or warehouse.
To wit: B&H just sent me a list of refurbished equipment NikonUSA has sold to them. It runs seven of B&H's normal pages long and includes things like D200 and D60 DSLRs! There's a 400mm f/2.8G in there, as well as some other more sought after things. Act quick, as many of these items are onesies.
But B&H isn't the only one getting refurbished equipment. I've noticed upticks in refurbished Nikons in at least five different outlets lately. I sure hope the cupboard isn't bare when we get to July and the start of the next fiscal quarter.
To those bemoaning the fact that there aren't any D3s or D700 bodies out there to be found. Yes, there are. If you need to find one, let me know and I'll point you to someone that has them in stock.
