Did they ask you to pay deposit? If so, was it full price?

If you picked it up in India then you cost price is 3670SG$ as that's the MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICE
Have you paid GST when you got it into Singapore ? There are chances that when someone buys it from you and they go on a holiday that they may be asked to show receipt when they come back to Singapore. rare but it can happen. and if its an overseas set then you may have to pay a fine as well for not declaring.

Well you are contradicting your self. first you quote that resellers are selling it more expensive that the MRP. Nikon does penalise resellers or dealers for selling above MRP. and like you said some dealers had stock so definitely you would not have brought it for more money than the other resellers. And if someone were to claim warranty then the original bill would be required and no reseller/dealer will risk putting a figure higher than the Price suggested by nikon india..
Anyways i am not here to spoil anything. if users want it real bad they will pay a premium and if you make a little money then that's good business ploy.
Kane-rulez,
I'm not trying to make money.. its useless trying to do so...
Actually because of the low volume of availability few dealers who have the stock are selling at higher price, although the invoice they give is lower than RRP.. that's the open secret over there.. Basically they are taking advantage of availability + customers like me who feel the camera to be cheaper because of current INR value... I am just hoping to sell one extra body that I have so that I can top-up & add a D4 to my kit..

It seems you too are taking advantage of the supply shortage here. Why buy TWO D800 bodies in the 1st place?

Bro peace out. I was just curious as india was selling it cheaper as well as 2 years warranty. And it's none of my business whether you sell at premium or not. If there is demand, supply finds a way. So if stocks less here any body selling it is a good thing to get the balance right. So chill and hope you get what u want.
Do anyone of u know that if u buy an oversea set and it happen to have the left focus issue or any other issue.. Can it get fix at Nikon Singapore for free?? I dun think so right?? So maybe have to pay even more. Good luck to those buying oversea set.. Smile!! I got mine local and safe and sound. Not at retail price. Bought on end march 2012.
