You did mention that difference in price to there normal price I would guess and more than likely your guy reported the error so up it went, correct? No I don’t think you can influence price.

I gave you a heads up on the price of the Nikon 80-400 $1599.99 and that Ritz price was always $1699.99. That it was possible the change meant that a new 80-400 was coming out. I guess you passed that onto your guy because the next day the price went back to 1699.99. Thanks. Now it will cost full retail again.

Outside of evil masterminds with "gold" in their names, it would seem to have limited appeal.

Nikon's gold lettered lenses are tacky. They look like the marketing and graphics department got a hold of what is otherwise a fine piece of photographic equipment. Nikon's "old-school" lenses are far better looking with more functional and READABLE markings. The newer labels and logos are meant for those that mount and never look at their lens again. Agreed.

This camera could be collectable or at very least hold a premium on the used market. You might be missing the point that this is Nikon’s first special edition DSLR every.
