My current SLR (and the previous one as well) came from eBay. Purchased new. Look for the sellers based in the NYC area. They are the same people that used to have the stores with the great prices on 47th Street.

Short lesson here is to be prepared and if you are buying anything but new, it might be best to be in the US where you can "zip" something right back when you find you've landed in a trap like I did. Still Amazon does well to filter that out and I've actually never had an issue with a retailer selling through Amazon; the problem usually surfaces on returns and within the return window they often try to demand a restocking fee (or minimally return shipping) even if they sold you a broken device or the wrong device, and sometimes the products look like open boxes but I've been lucky and they've worked. Still if ordering and even is someone is bringing something like a camera to you, I'd have them open the box and take as many photos as they have time for so you'll know you didn't get taken on the deal and worry about getting it returned from Mexico.
But such are the perils of being in the US and right before your flight back to Mexico you think, oops I forgot to order a .....
