... it was in stock on ordering day, and I have it in hand.  I did have to wait for it, but not because of the D850...  something else in my order was out of stock.  In the end, they shipped everything but the out of stock item, but it did delay things somewhat.

Saw he following on my local CraigsList but did not contact the seller as the price seems too low to be true if the camera is new - as it was originally claimed. Interesting!https://saginaw.craigslist.org/pho/d/nikon-d850-black-body-only/6540431332.html

I put the offer in the same folder as “The Prime Minister of Botswana has grown fond of me and wants me to keep his 188M$ I’ll get a10 % commission all that’s needed is to give my bank accouMt info

According to the store staff the 850 hasn't been selling as well as expected, probably due to price, it's a very expensive camera here.

From amazon sites and google's conversion rates 4800 AUD = 3687 USD (au) 4300 CAD = 3330 USD (ca) 2390 GBP = 3350 USD (uk) 2500 EUR = 3080 USD (es) 3300 USD

Can get small discounts at some places but still too high. Currency conversion plus tax would equal $$4,680 AUD. A 13% premiumThe popular Nikon items are priced well above the US price and the less popular are a bit below.Example The 19mm is $3396 US at B&H here $4385 AUD which is the same after currency conversion but it includes local taxes of 10% so effectivly 9% cheaper.
