Treating myself after a long time
I made my first $1000 online purchase from Amazon this morning. Finally settled for the Nikon CoolPix 5700 instead of the Canon EOS 300D. Since I can’t ship it to India, I shipped it to Jeremy‘s (
And now for the tough path : the 3 week wait
Cool. Looks nice. Maybe if you use the zoom, you can have a peek into my office.
Yay!! WTG
But $1000!!! Thats way too high – I have seen it around $700 to $800 range
I know it’s Kallu … but have a heart! 🙂
Yeah. got it for 825. With tax, the bag and extra card it costed me close to 1000
Whaddya mean?
Amazon has a 30-day no-penalty returns policy, or some such …
Congrats, kallu.
Ah! then it is a fair price, I suspect we are soon going to see the third 5700 as well 😉
Whoa! Nice cam!
Btw, is there any limit on the amount of the dollars you can spend annually or something?
Yeah, I know India is flush with funds, but there must be *some* limit beyond which you get duties/inquiries/blah.
Basic Travel Quota is USD 5000, IIRC. Anything more needs a permit.
Ha! Who has all the money he wants now?
Also, imports of Rs. 10,000 or less brought as part of personal baggage have no customs duty.
Thats… Rs. 12,000/-
But that is per trip, right? How does it work when, say, using your credit card to buy stuff?
