Where's the best place to buy ADVC-100 in USA??

Where's the best (cheapest yet reliable) place to buy Canpopus ADVC-100 in the USA? Seems like all the postings here mention online stores, but the merchants they mention have questionable reviews (according to pricegrabber.com) with exception of B&H

Basic comments are *no return policy *charged cards even for dealer/shipper error *not really 'in-stock' --really sends up red flags. If you have any words of wisdom, please share! Does getting a discount really require such a gamble???

Not sure if this kind of question is proper for the forum, so forgive my newbie ignorance.

Thanks! Laura

I bought just a couple days ago at www.pcmall.com. It is just $269 plus shipping. You may check the lowest prices at www.nextag.com just enter ADVC-100 in the search window.

I bought mine at Tri-State for $269 plus $15 shipping. Harmony.com had it for the same price but the guy who answered the phone sounded like he was super bored.
I agree with Nimco. Go to pricewatch.com or the one he suggested then call the place to get an idea of customer service. This last was suggested by PCWorld Magazine.

To followup on this, I finally bought the Canopus ADVC-100 from a great online vendor who knew alot about the product, was friendly, fast shipping AND has a 30 day return policy! Found him through eBay.com where he sells regularly under purserbob. He even pointed me in the right direction for appropriate firewire cards.

His company is www.4videoequipment.com - Hope this helps anyone who's shopping!
