Does anyone kow of a US website similar to CameraPriceBuster?

The decline of the Olympus PEN's price is agonisingly slow and with current exchange rates they're almost £200 cheaper in the US, £100 less if you're honest and pay the VAT on return to the UK, so I'm thinking of getting one while I'm over there.

I have a few old copies of ShutterBug, so I can find shops websites to get the best price, but it's going to be a pain checking each one individually so I was wondering if there was a US version of CameraPriceBuster over there?

Are probably the 2 best shops to recommend, they come with good reps, but VAT route. Problems might occur with warranties having to send back to states

You could always PM Kerso to see if he could get you said item, you'll get UK receipt, so warranty is in UK as another option.
 
Thanks both. I've family in the US so for the sake of £100-£200 saving I'm happy to have to ship the lens back for any warranty claims. As Kerso would have add his mark-up I'm as well just buying from the US really.

I've got my eye on B&H and Adorama, but it's good to see all the available prices in one place as in CameraPriceBuster.
 
looks like going rate is $750 body only & $800 with 14-42mm.
Remember that sales tax is not included in those prices.
 
TBH Amazon.com could be your best bet as no sales tax and happy to ship to a US address even using your UK CC and matching UK address, prices usually as cheap as the retailers mentioned above too.

Good idea! I'd be shipping to the sister-in-laws so that is a possibility!

It's the 17mm kit I'm interested in which is $900, and I think that Sales tax only apply if you buy in that state, not if you ship out state.
