Just about everybody is in the Ingram network. That's what they do.
Has anyone mentioned the fact that it's $225 at Staples but $299 at their own website's direct purchase store?
Whether they actually sell a single NP-1 through Staples is irrelevant. It's plainly obvious that no one should pay $299 for the thing if the price has already dropped considerably.
Not that they should pay $225 either, but let's do one argument at a time.
