"I can't say enough good things about my transaction with this comapny! I purchased a Panasonic LA95 Portable DVD Player. It was the BEST price I could find. They called to verify my order and then phoned again to let me know they had shipped it. It arrived way before I anticipated it. Just a WONDERFUL transaction!!! I will purchase from them again!"

"On March 23rd I ordered a Nikon N65 DELUXE KIT and exchanged the lens with an upgrade. The whole package came in 4 DAYS. I was shocked! Everything that I ordered was all there in the box. I was skeptical but these guys earned my business."

"Ordered a Fuji Finepix 2800 Kit. Tracking and confirmation numbers came via e-mail. Excellent service, came factory wrapped in 5 business days. A great experience overall, and would not hesitate to order again."

"I purchased a Minolta Digital Camera from Abe's via their Website on May 4. A few hours later I got a call from a salesman who mostly wanted to try to get me to buy additional accessories. I refused and he simply confirmed that the camera would be shipped the next day. It was indeed, arrived in three days instead of the four the salesman had projected, and everything was in perfect condition. I was prepared for the extra-sales call, so I really didn't mind it, and the salesperson wasn't at all pushy or aggressive. I have absolutely no complaints about my transaction with this company."

"They had a good price, not the best but good. they called to verify the order and did a half hearted job of up selling. The camera was as advertised, shipped promptly. There were no surprises. If they had not tried to upsell, I would give them a top marks all around. Given the number of dealers doing bait and switch, these guys are ok."

"purchased and eventually returned a high end remote control that I did not like. I called AOM for a RMA # which I was promptly given, along with specific return instructions. Returned the remot control, and my C.C. was credited the correct amount."

"I purchased a camcorder on the morning of April 8th from Abe's of Maine. I called in my order. Sales rep actually went and checked to make sure they had the camera in stock before taking my order. I asked for overnight delivery since I needed the camera this weekend and he said he will take care of it for me (for an additional cost). I received an email with a tracking number later that day. My camcorder arrived on the morning of the 9th, barely 25 hours after I ordered it. It was in a brand new factory sealed box. I am extremely satisfied and pleased. The price was excellent. The shipping charge was a bit excessive IMO, $269 for overnight UPS from Brooklyn to California, but overall I am very pleased with my experience with Abe's and I highly recommend them. "

"I ordered a nikon coolpix 3700 on the phone with them, after consulting with NikonUSA regarding authorized retailers that qualify for the $100 rebate on this camera. After receiving the green light from Nikon, I placed the order.
I then stumbled on this website, and began to sift through the good, the bad, and the ugly reviews of this retailer. Talk about STRESS!!
I didn't receive a confirmation email about the order. So I called the next day, and they gave me a tracking number for UPS(I ordered 2-day shipping). Sure enough the shippment was on its way...but still no email. Did I get charged the correct amount, was I being sent a gray-market product, or worse, an empty box?
Anyways, I got the camera in 2 days, as promised, and the invoice was for the correct amount, and the camera was not gray-market and eligible for the rebate. So in the end, I'm very happy with the purchase, since the price was $100 cheaper than other retailers.
Would I order again? Probably not, my heart can't take that kind of drama. But if you want cheap prices, and like to gamble(based on other reviews) you could end up with quite a deal.
Good luck.
oh yeah, by the way...still no email from them!"

"I was skeptical, having read others' comments and the sales person DID try to sell me various extras that would have boosted the price.

I resisted.

The result was a very fast shipment of a Panasonic PV-DV953 digital camcorder exactly as specified and in perfect working order.

Some other companies claimed lower prices but further investigation showed they were holding out on the regular accessories or "weren't sure" whether the item was in stock.

Shipping was about $15-20 higher than it should have been, but the bottom line price was a good one.

I am completely satisfied with this company and would do business with them again.
