So I waited and got this shot in that short interval the spot was free.) |

501 Novelty Corp., aka Five Hundred One Novelty Corp., dba Accessory Circut, AccessoryCircut.com 502 Gravesend Neck Road, Gravesend Address is on contact page as the East Coast Office, though instead of using Brooklyn they use "Kings country, NY 11223." Also listed is their West Coast office and warehouse in Santa Monica, CA. (As product enters the US in California it is cheaper to buy and stock it there.) They are in the ground floor office. Their fax number of 347-492-5913, googles to Five Hundred One Novelty Corp. The NY entity database lists 501 Novelty Corp. at this address. |
|
| 139 |  |
A J Madison, dba AJMadison.com, DiscountMaven.com 1416 38th Street, Borough Park Mostly appliances. Address at web sites. They had also been using CounterAppliance.com, but it is now defunct. DiscountMaven.com now simply forwards to AJMadison.com. |
|

A Plus Wireless Inc., SourceOneAudio.com 1474 East 31st Street, Suite 6 This is a new address found on their web site. This is the back of the building that they had been in. Their former storefront is now an Italian sushi restaurant (which expanded from the adjacent storefront). There was no label on the intercom for Suite 6. |
|
| 127 |  |
A Plus Wireless Inc., SourceOneAudio.com; also Mavco Electronics Inc. dba SensibleAudio.com 2815 Nostrand Ave Was on both web sites. A Plus Wireless name from reverse lookup on (718) 258-3100 (and number is confirmed on the awning). SourceOneAudio.com has now moved to an office upstair (note sign in second floor window saying one is available), which is entered from the building's back. SensibleAudio.com no longer functions. |

A1-4 Electronics Inc., dba a1pluselectronics.com, a14electronics.com, a1officeproducts.com 581 Flushing Avenue, South Williamsburg Address on web site. NY entity database has 303 Marcy Ave (a brick 4-story apartment building). |
|
| 188 |  |
AAA Price.com, Inc., dba AAAPrice.com 333 86th. St. Apt 1D, Bay Ridge Address at web site, in corporate entity database, and is one of the addresses in the whois database. Main phone number reverses to here. All doors on this building use 333. |
|
| 189 |  |
AAA Price.com, Inc., dba AAAPrice.com 8701 5th Ave., Bay Ridge This is one of the addresses in the whois database and has been for a long time. It is the address at the BBB. Picture taken on a Sunday. Then in September 2005 A&R moved to Valley Stream, Long Island. |
|
| 249 |  |
Accessory Den Inc., AccessoryDen.com 2281 McDonald Ave, Gravesend Address is on contact page and in NY entity database. The storefront in the picture appears to be a hardware store, but looking in I saw people at desks with computers and this sign on the door confirms they are inside. |
|
| 79 |  |
Ace Photo & Digital Co., dba AcePhotoDigital.com 1136 59th St. This is the address found in the whois record and had been at the BBB web site. Now the BBB is, and the web page returns address was, using 1303 53rd St, Box 400, which is a mail box store that appears here for DigitalFotoClub (a name used by Focus Camera). Then returns were being directed to PO Box 189003, Brooklyn, NY 11218. Now for returns they use 905 McDonald Ave, which is Focus Camera's warehouse. |

Active Atom, aka Power Seller NYC, Inc., dba PowerSellerNYC.com, aka DealCost.com 3670-3672 Nostrand Ave., Sheepshead Bay This address had been two outfits: 888 using 3674 and Marcus Audio Video using 3670. It is now combined inside. Web site now invites you to visit their retail store, but the address is not listed. Awning picture on the site lacks the Active-Atom name, but a June 2009 site visit found it the same as the picture here. One of the owners died, and a memorial is painted on a shutter. PowerSellerNYC appears in the DealCost code, plus there are a couple of suspicious reviews for PowerSellerNYC that are actually reviewing DealCost. It looks like the person pasting in the review pasted in the wrong ones! (DealCost's domain was registered with the address 2167 E. 21st St, Suite 142. This is a Mailboxes of Brooklyn that is 0.9 miles from here.) |
|
| 252 |  |
Active Atom, aka Power Seller NYC, Inc., dba PowerSellerNYC.com, aka DealCost.com 916 Avenue T, Gravesend Address from web site. This is the billing address. The warehouse is located at 3674 Nostrand Ave. The defunct Click4TVs.com used this address in their whois back in May 2006. Then it was cloaked. For Power Seller the NY entity database had 1641 McDonald Ave, Suite 200, which is a storefront that appears here for the defunct Big On Digital. Suite 200 now is being used by the brother of the deli that moved into the ground floor there. Update: Entity database now has this address. |

Affordable Home Electronics, dba AffordableHomeElectronics.com 62-65 Saunders St., Suite #6B, Rego Park, Queens Address not on web site, but found in whois listing and a page of Califone dealers. |
|
| 242 |  |
All In One Digital USA Inc., dba AllinoneDigital.com, aka HotCoolGifts.com 5014 16th Ave., Suite 263, Borough Park Address from AllInOne web site. Web site claims 25 years of service, and they have to use a mailbox store?! [This is the third dealer to use this mailbox store.] Hot Cool Gifts shares the phone numbers with All In One. NY entity database has 558 East 5th St., which is a residence. The local number on Hot Cool Gifts, (718) 756-9171, reverses to 1543 President Street in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. |
|
| 105 |  |
All In One Digital USA Inc., dba AllinoneDigital.com, aka HotCoolGifts.com 1543 President St., Crown Heights The local number on Hot Cool Gifts, (718) 756-9171, reverses to here. This is also the address, with Apt. 1F, on the HotCoolGifts.com domain registration. The building is divided into apartments. AllInOneDigital web site has a mailbox store. |
|
| 103 |  |
All Time Deals Inc., dba AllTimeDeals.com, aka Active International Marketing Inc. 414 Flushing Avenue, South Williamsburg New address for them. Found on a reverse lookup on their local phone number. Technically 414 Flushing is the taller building to the right. But it has no public entrance, other than the supermarket and a school. After several trips I discovered that the building entrance is on the side street, where the woman in the turquoise shirt is cleaning the door. Active International Marketing is using suite #212. [picture taken on a Sunday] |
|
| 102 |  |
All Time Deals Inc., dba AllTimeDeals.com, aka Active International Marketing Inc. 762 Bedford Ave, South Williamsburg This is the address superpages had for a reverse lookup on the 718-852-4400 phone number found on their web page. Listed there as Alltime Deals. Their door was the one to the right. The one on the left is 768, and a different company. [Taken on a Sunday.] They now have moved to 414 Flushing Ave. See prior picture. |
|
| 104 |  |
All Time Deals Inc., dba AllTimeDeals.com 199 Lee Ave. PMB 146, South Williamsburg This is the address found on the web site and in entity database. PMB 143 is used in their cnet listing. No address in whois. #272 at this address is used for the whois registration for eDigix.com, a site no longer up when I last checked, but when up this was also the address at the site. |

AllStar Camera Inc., dba On Time Digital, OnTimeDigital.com, aka DealsOnAudio.com, aka Elite Camcorders, EliteCamcorders.com, aka Delta Camera, DeltaCamera.com, DeltaCameras.com, aka Henry's Digital Online.com, HenrysDigitalOnline.com, aka Supreme Camera, SupremeCamera.com, aka Hot For Digital, HotForDigital.com 1151 McDonald Ave. A visit in December 2007 found the awning gone, along with the sign on the door, and most of the blue and yellow sign alongside the door. I could not see in, as the door glass had been silvered and the window was covered with cardboard. By Fall of 2009 the blue and yellow sign was completely gone. HenrysDigitalOnline.com was created on 27-May-2009. They use the same phone number, 877-283-7747, on the About Us page as DeltaCamera. See older pictures following for the awning and domain names used in the past. A link to DealsOnAudio.com brought me to OnTimeDigital, so Deals On Audio is probably here. The phone number for Elite, 800-970-2966, in the past was used by XtremeCameras.com. Elite connection also discussed in this Thoughts-Of-Dave blog. Other past names no longer used are: Xtreme Cameras (XtremeCameras.com), U Buy Digital (UBuyDigital.com), The Camera Professionals (TheCameraProfessionals.com), HD Camera World (HDCameraWorld.com). The BBB now lists HDCameraWorld as part of The Camera Professionals at this address. On this ResellerRatings page (now a few pages deep) it notes that the parcel is labelled as being shipped from Simon Silver, Megawholesale, Brooklyn, NY. Simon Silver is listed on this Shedding Some Light page. Also on this RipOffReport page this address is used by The Camera Professionals and MegaWholesale. The latest names used are Supreme Camera, SupremeCamera.com, Hot For Digital, HotForDigital.com which use 417-419 Lafayette St in Manhattan, though there is no evidence that they are actually at the address. [At one time the BBB had 2277 McDonald Ave., 2nd Floor for their address, but I could find no evidence that they were ever there.] |

AllStar Camera Inc., dba Xtreme Cameras, XtremeCameras.com, The Camera Professionals, TheCameraProfessionals.com, On Time Digital, OnTimeDigital.com, U Buy Digital, UBuyDigital.com 1151 McDonald Ave. Picture taken September 2005. A December 2004 picture has them with no awning. Prior location was 4718 18th Ave. In the past they have used these domains: BestDigitalOnline.com, PayLessDigital.com, UBDigital.com, FiveStarAppliances.com, TheCameraPros.com, CameraPros.com. It is likely that Buzz4Digital.com and TheCameraBuzz.com were their domain names. TheCameraPros.com and Five Star Appliances used 1006 Avenue P (a semi-attached one-family frame house) on their web sites. For more on these companies see Shedding Some Light. |

AllStar Camera Inc., aka All Star Electronics, dba AllStarCamera.com and eDigitalCity.com 4718 18th Ave. Former location (this picture from September 2001).

AllStar family, dba Big Camera Deals, BigCameraDeals.com, aka Wholesale Genius Inc., dba AllPCGenius.com, CamcorderGenius.com, CellularGenius.com, CloseoutGenius.com, NaviGenius.com, PlasmaGenius.com, ProjectorGenius.com, ReceiverGenius.com, SLRGenius.com, WholesaleGenius.com, aka Closeout Island, dba CamcorderIsland.com, CloseoutIsland.com, NaviIsland.com, ReceiverIsland.com, SLRIsland.com 102 Avenue O Address from original BigCameraDeals.com 26-Oct-08 domain registration and could be found by clicking on the web site's Volusion SSL logo. E-mail address in the original whois was buzz4digital, which is a now defunct dealer that I picture here and was probably part of the All-Star family. In this Thoughts-Of-Dave blog post it ties this dealer with All-Star based on the about us page having matching text. This is not definitive proof, as many of the dealers share web site developers. When BigCameraDeals.com was registered in Oct-2008 they used two addresses. This one and 2215 Homecrest Ave, which was the registrant address for the Genius family. Wholesale Genius Inc. was found in the NY entity database with a 2120 Ocean Parkway address (also a house). It was registered eight days before the various Genius domains where registered on 03-Oct-2008 using this the 2215 Homecrest Ave. address. BigCameraDeals web site no longer works and comments at ResellerRatings stopped in March 2009. This address now appears on the Genius family web sites. The domain names ending in Island are new. All of them redirect to CloseoutIsland.com. This address is on that site. These new names were discovered by Thoughts-Of-Dave blog. |

AllStar family, dba Delta Camera, DeltaCamera.com, DeltaCameras.com 1002 Quentin Road, Suite 2009 Domain created 2009-04-30. Address found by clicking the Volusion SSL logo on the front page. Checking the mailboxes finds box 2009 unlabeled. Their door is also unlabeled. The whois has a person's name at 1708 East 2nd St., which is very near to this location. A Thoughts-Of-Dave post found code and stock number sameness with BigCameraDeals.com. [Also see a full building picture.] |

Avalon Gadgets, Brooklyn Location (dba AvalonGadgets.com), aka Foto Electronics, FotoElectronics.com, Foto Tronix, FotoTronix.com 6512 20th Ave. Address from a comment in resellerratings.com. On a prior visit to this location I went up to the door and a fellow confirmed that there were people in the back working for Avalon Gadgets. He said they are based in Delaware (the whois had been using a mail drop in Wilmington, DE, now the whois has a PO box in Hawaii) and this was just the Brooklyn location. He did not want me to take a picture. (I came back later.) When I first checked their web site the voice phone number was in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago (2503 Palazzo Drive, Buffalo Grove, IL). The fax number was in Idaho. Then the voice numbered disappeared and the fax number's area code was 775, which is Reno, Nevada. Now that has disappeared and e-mail is the only contact method. Foto Electronics from ResellerRatings.com. In a 2004 Epinions.com comment 1421 Sheepshead Bay Road, Suite #145 was found for Avalon. Update Summer 2009: I was passing by and found Angela's had moved to 6613 20th Ave. They could still be working in the back, but more likely they have moved to an unknown location. |

B&H Brooklyn Warehouse Brooklyn Navy Yard, South Williamsburg I was passing by and saw their warehouse in the distance. So I took this photo through the chain link fence. This is as close as I could get, as the yard is off-limits to the public. Just as I was taking the picture the white truck pulled in front, and then didn't move. Also see retail location in Manhattan. Update: The pictured warehouse has four stories and covers 160,000 square feet. B&H plans to construct a building in the yard that will probably be six stories with 600,000 square feet. The new building, expected to cost more than $50 million and to be one of the largest new multistory industrial buildings in the city, is likely to house several offices now in Manhattan. The number of B&H workers in Brooklyn is expected to rise from more than 200 today to as many as 900. [NY Times] |

Big Valueco, Inc, Big VALUE Inc, BigValueInc.com 2170A East 5th St, Gravesend, 11223 No address at web site. Their Amazon shipping page states sales tax collected on all purchases shipped to New York. Then a search finds on their GoDaddy Connection Page they use PO Box 230303 in zipcode 11223. Then in the NY entity database one finds Big Valueco, Inc. registered at this address five days after the domain was registrated anonymously on 14-Mar-2008. Now obviously, as of Nov-2009 they are no longer here. At some point the entity database will get updated, but for now actual place of business is unknown. |
|
| 83 |  |
BrandNamez LLC, dba BrandNamez.com, aka Lormar Electronics 96 Avenue U, Gravesend This address had been at DealTime, which is where I found it. Web site (and now Dealtime) has an address in Manhattan where they have never been. A comment at ResellerRatings.com discovered the Manhattan address was phony and this is the actual place of business. LLC used in anonymous domain registration, but not found in NY entity database. |

Broadway Family: Broadway Photo LLC (BwayPhoto.com, BroadwayPhoto.com, BroadwayPhoto.net, BroadwayPhotoVideo.com), A&M Photo World LLC (AMPhotoWorld.com), and Digital Liquidators LLC (DigitalLiquidators.com) 2922 Avenue L After this address A&M Photo World claimed to be at 2920 Ave L. See picture 49. Note peephole in the cardboard under the street number. RegalCamera.com now redirects to BwayPhoto.com and CameraTopia.com redirects to AMPhotoWorld.com. This is my most popular picture. It is from April 2002. An optometrist is now on the ground level and a planning group is upstairs. |
|
| 49 |  |
Broadway Family: A&M Photo World LLC. 2920 Ave. L A&M used to use the same address as Broadway Photo. They also used the second floor at 2920. Broadway was clearly also using the upstairs on 2922, as people were going up and down. See picture 6. |
|

Broadway Family: A&M Photo World LLC (AMPhotoWorld.com), Preferred Photo (PreferredPhoto.com), Wild Digital (WildDigital.com), Millenium Camera (MilleniumCamera.com), Time 2 Envy (stores.ebay.com/Time2Envy), aka American Digital & Video, AMDV.com LLC, Qwest Camera LLC, Regal Camera LLC, RegalCamera.com 337 E 89th St., Remsen Village Web sites no longer have addresses. This report has PreferredPhoto at this address. Time2Envy used this address for someone to mail a letter to as mentioned in a February 2006 dpreview forum post. The NY entity info has Time 2 Envy, LLC at 205 Ryder Ave, which was the home address of Albert Houllou, a principal of the Broadway family. Wild Digital LLC and Millenium Camera LLC have this address in the NY entity database. Millenium is the newest name, having been registered in May 2007. [Picture taken on a Jewish holiday.] Update: Wild Digital now uses 2605 Ave. T on its web site. Update: Top Choice Digital Enterprise LLC (and Top Choice Digital World Inc.) is now registered at this address and the TopChoiceDigital.com domain name was reactivated in early September 2008, according to the dates on the comments at ResellerRatings.com. An interesting sidenote is Top Choice's former storefront, after being a real estate storefront for a while, then for a while was an office in the Broadway family. Update: AMDV.com is a domain that belonged to MME Digital Corp, but they went out of business and it resurfaced at this address per the contact page, but this has since been removed. |

Broadway Family: Preferred Photo LLC, (PreferredPhoto.com, PreferedPhoto.com, PrefferedPhoto.com); also Camera Addict LLC, CameraAddict.com; also F&E Trading (FandETrading.com), aka Camera Kings, LLC, dba CameraKings.com 321-327 E. 89th St., Remsen Village 321 is green door in the middle. Preferred uses 321. Camera Addict uses 325 E. 89th Street as its mailing address. F&E Trading, an import export firm, uses 327 E. 89th St for its. 337 is the door to the right. (You may have to scroll.) The NY entity database for Preferred Photo has 5014 16th Ave, Suite 233 (a mailbox store pictured here for others). The CameraKings.com contact page has 1940 East 9th St, Brooklyn, which is a single family house on a residential street. However checking the NY entity database I find Camera Kings Inc., 325 East 89th Street Suite 110, which is of course here. This corporation was filed for on January 08, 2009. A long time ago Broadway used KingCameras.com, which is now defunct, but is still listed at the BBB |
|
| 180 |  |
Broadway Family: Prestige Camera LLC, dba PrestigeCamera.com 315 East 89th St., Remsen Village No address in whois. No address at web site. Phone numbers do not reverse or connect to others. This address found at brooklyn.citysearch.com. Entity database has them at 1412 Ave. M. At one time PriceGrabber and PriceSCAN had Prestige at 1354 E. 2nd Street. That is a two-story brick rowhouse. The BBB claims this is another name for Broadway Photo. |
|
| 254 |  |
Broadway Family: Click4Digital, LLC, Click4Digital.com, aka Click For Digital, ClickForDigital.com; aka DailyCheckout.com Inc.; aka AMDV.com, aka Digital Megastore 1722 East 28th St, Marine Park For DailyCheckout this address was in the NY entity database, but then it was changed to 2812 Quentin Road (which is just around the corner). DailyCheckout.com Inc. was incorporated 15-May-2009. The domain was created 12-May-2009. For Click4Digital this address is on their Contact Page. Click4Digital was formerly at 287 3rd Avenue under a different corporate name, but that business went under owing money to Broadway for drop shipments. Now Digital Megastore is telling people to return items to AMDV.com at this address. |

Broadway Family: dBuys.com, iBuyDigital.com, iBuyPlasma.com, RealDealShop.com, DigitalMegaStore.com, and CentralDigital.com; Time2Envy.com, Quest 4 Cameras, Quest4Cameras.com, Wiki-Digital.com 2931 Avenue S, Marine Park 11229 The first block of names are the former Central Digital family. After moving to Edison, NJ they went out of business and the domain names resurfaced here as part of Broadway Photo. This address is on all those web sites. The eBay stores Time 2 Envy, LLC (Time2Envy) and WikiDigital*com are now operating out of this location. The next addition was Quest4Cameras. The domain was registered in May 2007 and for many months they successfully cloaked this address. The only clue was on DealTime/Shopping.com they are listed as Brooklyn with this 11229 zip code. Now the BBB has this as another name for this location. All located here are part of Broadway Photo with merchandise shipped out of Broadway Photo's warehousing/distribution system (see previous pictures). An interesting sidenote is this storefront was used many years ago by a long defunct Top Choice Digital. Update: Quest 4 Cameras has moved to 2605 Ave. T. See next picture. Update: Wiki-Digital.com added as its phone number, 800-641-2338, is also used by time2envy and its IP address is a one digit difference from CameraKings.com's. WikiDigital*com no longer operates on eBay. Update: In the middle of 2008 Broadway left this location and all operations are now at the E 89th St warehouse. Update Nov 2009: Digital Megastore now has 2057 East 22nd St on their web site. This is a house. |

Broadway Family: Quest 4 Cameras, Quest4Cameras.com, Wild Digital, WildDigital.com 2605 Avenue T, Marine Park This address had appeared on Quest4Cameras' web site. Now that site has 337 East 89th St. For Wild Digital this address can be found here pronto.com profile page. Quest4Cameras had been using 2931 Ave. S and Wild Digital used 337 East 89th St. |

Buy Rite Electronics Inc., dba BuyRiteElectronics.com 5014 16th Ave., Suite #118, Borough Park Address from web site and whois. Picture taken on a Saturday when they are closed. See next picture for actual BuyRite location. #114 at this address was used in the past by Ideal Photo And Video (IdealPhotoAndVideo.com), aka Best Discount Camera, aka The Digital Store. All these other domain names now out-of-business. |
|

Buy Rite Electronics Inc., dba BuyRiteElectronics.com 1632 59th St., Borough Park Actual Location (not too far from mail box store) If you look B Gould up at superpages.com you get their general line phone number: (718) 259-2857 at this address. Also a reverse lookup at 441.com on their fax number of (718) 232-4776 gets B Brood as this address. Also a google search on this number gets it. And this is the address in the NY State entity database. |

| 144 |  |
BuyERetail Inc., dba BuyERetail.com, aka ShipDog.com 1412 Ave. M, Suite #2395, Midwood From web site, PriceSCAN, BBB and corporate registration. The only phone numbers are an 800 one and a fax number in Washington State. Actual place of business unknown. ShipDog.com also uses this box number according to a comment at ResellerRatings, but Dealtime has them at 265 Sunrise Highway Suite #262, Rockville Centre, NY 11570. That may be a mailbox store. This mailbox store, with box #2544, is also used by Broadway Photo's Prestige Camera for their NY State entity registration. At one time the BBB had BuyERetail as a name in the Broadway Photo family, but I disagree. Common usage of this mail box store isn't enough evidence. Update February 2008: USA Wholesale Club, dba USAWholesaleClub.com (aka Network Sales of NY) is now also using this address on their site with no box number. |

Buy JY's, buyjny.com, aka RefurbIsland.com, TheTelevisionKingdom.com 846 McDonald Ave. Address from BBB page. The whois was created on 09-Jan-09 and is now anonymous, but had been 5014 16th Ave #388, which is a mailbox store appearing here for others. They are too new for comments at ResellerRatings: BuyJnY and RefurbIsland. The phone number they use (877) 800-8269 also appears in the text on RefurbIsland.com's About Us and T&C pages. If you place an order e-mails say you have to call 212-414-2026 to confirm. Searching on that number finds TheTelevisionKingdom.com. The label on the intercom has Homeside Management Inc. It is not found in the NY entity database. buyjny.com web site claims they have been a retail store in Manhattan for over 20 years, but no location is disclosed anywhere. |

Cambridge World Inc., dba CambridgeWorld.com 34 Franklin Ave., South Williamsburg These are the people that used to be Cambridge Camera in Manhattan at 119 West 17th St. The signs at the door at the right were for businesses on the 2nd and 3rd floors. So Cambridge World is using the first floor, and at the far left there was a truck loading or unloading. AAACamera.com, now not in use, also used this address for a while. |

Camera For Less, dba CameraForLess.com 813 Bedford Ave. #1, South Williamsburg Their local number, 718-797-2217, reversed lookup as: Cameras F. Less at this address. The whois is at this address.

The whois registration for UsedCamerasForLess.com is also at this address, but the website was only active from July 2004 to February 2005. |

Camera For Less, dba CameraForLess.com 190 Franklin Ave. #4, South Williamsburg New address found at Deal Time. It is very new, and the building wasn't quite finished when I took the picture in December 2007. The C of O states that there is a duplex in the middle two floors and two apartments on the top floor. I found four intercoms at the door up the stoop to the right. Indications are business is still being conducted from 813 Bedford Ave. |

Comp-U-Photo (comp-u-photo.com), aka Digital On 5th Ave. (digitalon5th.com, digital-on-5th.com) 517 Coney Island Ave This is their Brooklyn office. From Yahoo yellow pages for Digital On 5th and reverse lookup on (718) 287-3220. The door to the left has two unmarked buzzers for the two upper floors. Also see their Manhattan Store. All these domains are no longer active. Whois registrations are no longer in the NY area. Phone number is disconnected. However, they are still in business, at least at the Manhattan location. Camera Sonic, LLC is an active NY entity with this address. It was filed 17-March-2003, which is close to the 18-March-2003 date that CameraSonic.com was registered using this address. Now cloaked. CameraSonic.com has a BBB listing with 1501 Sheepshead Bay Road. Archive.org has a site from 11/29/03 - 3/24/04, but no merchant site on any of the four archived pages. |

Crazy 4 Digital, dba Digital Kings, Next Step Plasma (nextStepPlasma.com), Shop Digital Online, ShopDigitalOnline.com, Union Hill Electronics, UnionHillElectronics.com 225 34th St. New location for this firm.

For other formerly used domain names see their prior location picture: 105 Ave U. Union Hill's policy page matches the ones at nextStepPlasma.com and ShopDigitalOnline.com. And at ResellerRatings they group Union Hill with the others. Union Hill's contact page lists the address 1708 East 35th St. A site visit found T & T Balloon Express, a store that sells balloons, gourmet baskets and party supplies. The hours painted on the front are appropriate for a party store, not a web merchant. Must simply be a borrowed address. Update: A March 2009 site visit found a for rent by owner sign on the party store. |

Delta Marketing Corp., dba 47th Street Photo of New York (47StPhoto.com), aka Photo Video Computers Electronics 1635 McDonald Ave. New location for this dealer (and better for shipping and receiving). See details on this dealer in the picture following. |
|
| 85 |  |
Delta Marketing Corp., dba 47th Street Photo of New York (47StPhoto.com), aka Photo Video Computers Electronics 395 Kings Highway, Bensonhurst While no street address is at the web site, this is the address listed in the phone directory for the Delta and 47thSt names. Also the address in the NY entity database. The whois has a box in the post office with the same zip code as this address. The phone number on the whois reverses to 47th St Photo at this address. Photo Video Computers Electronics uses the same phone number, and is listed in the phone directory and HelloBrooklyn.com at this address (and other directory sites). They are also a surplus club that sells on eBay and on Amazon. At one time they owned NikonDigital.com which they redirected to 47StPhoto.com (but Nikon took it). In 2004 it read Delta Marketing Inc. on the door. Legal name is Corp., not Inc. By May 2006, when this was taken, the Inc was scraped off. They are the US distributor for Opteka.com. In January 2009 I stumbled on their new location. At this old location all signs and the awning are gone and a for rent sign is on the building. |

DGL Group Ltd, formerly Digicell Ltd., dba DigiCellUSA.com 33 34th St, Suite 5, Sunset Park In the past they used DigiCell.com and CellCrew.com. Address from reverse lookup on CellCrew's main number of 718-499-1000 and is one of the addresses in CellCrew's whois. Some years ago the address was on their contact page. NY entity database has 1204 Avenue U, Box 1334, a mailbox store. At one time the main phone reversed to 68 34th Street and the whois for DigiCellUSA.com still has 68 34th St, 6th Fl. That is a similar building with the same landlord. In August 2007 the CellCrew site was not working and the DigiCell.com site was a link page owned by someone in California. Possibly they forgot to renew the domain and someone took it. |
|
| 195 |  |
Digital Delivered, Inc., dba DigitalDelivered.com, RedTagSavings.com, and TrustedDealer.com 771-773 Coney Island Avenue, Kensington RedTagSavings.com uses 771. DigitalDelivered.com was using 773, but now no address at site. TrustedDealer is now using 771 on their about page and 773 on their contact page. Open on Sunday. TrustedDealer's contact page for a while listed 673 Coney Island Ave, which appears elsewhere here several times. The RedTagSavings site claims they are RedTag Savings Inc. No such name found for NY, but Red Tag Inc. registered to a CPA on Bedford Avenue appears to be them. Digital Delivered, Inc. is registered to a name on Irwin Street in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn. In May 2006 the For Rent sign was gone. In August 2007 it was back. The door has only one lock, so all of the second floor is one office. The door was open. There was a conveyor belt alongside the stairs. So the place can be used to warehouse and ship. At one point TrustedDealer used the upstairs at 673 Coney Island Ave, an address used by several dealers and now a bicycle shop. |
|
| 147 |  |
Duddy's Electronics, aka Appliance Hut, dba ApplianceHut.com 4415 14th Avenue, Borough Park Address was at web site. The site now only states the retail store is in the heart of Brooklyn. |

StreetPrices.com has their Brooklyn phone number, 718-913-0369, and a different address, 1873 East 27th St. |

EMS Wholesale Trading, dba Digital Hawks, DigitalHawks.com 1704 McDonald Ave. Address from web site. Domain registered on 2009-04-18. Comments just starting at ResellerRatings. Orly City Sportswear is still at this address and there is a showroom behind the tree at the right. EMS name from bottom of contact page.

|
| 38 |  |
FCI Tech NY Inc., dba FCITech.com 171 Washington Park, Fort Greene New address on web site. A check of the intercom finds FCI Tech Inc. for #1, so it appears they are using the ground floor. Whois is cloaked. Fax number has 609 area code, which is Southern New Jersey. The address in the NY entity database is 717 Bedford Ave #1, a large apartment building in South Williamsburg and just around the corner from 417 Flushing Ave, their former location. The text on their aboutus page exactly matches the text on SuperDigitalCity.com's aboutus page. |

Focus Camera current location (FocusCamera.com, and DigitalFotoClub.com) 895-905 McDonald Ave. The storefront is new. I believe this was previously just a warehouse outlet at the door to the right. |
|
| 54 |  |
Focus Camera current location (FocusCamera.com, and DigitalFotoClub.com) 895-905 McDonald Ave. Now cleaned up. See earlier picture 22. |

Focus Camera Former Location (FocusCamera.com) 4419-21 13th Ave., Borough Park One of my bicycles makes a cameo appearance. Picture taken July 2001. |
|

Focus Camera Alternate Location (FocusCamera.com) 905 McDonald Ave. Former entrance to warehouse outlet store. Sign on door now removed. This is now the entrance to the warehouse and shipping dept. This picture taken July 2001. See later pictures 53 and 54. |
|
| 236 |  |
Focus Camera, aka Digital Foto Discount Club (DigitalFotoClub.com) 1080 McDonald Ave, Suite 150 DigitalFotoClub.com was for a while using this address for returns. This is much closer to their place of business at 895-905 McDonald Ave than the one they had been using. |
|
| 52 |  |
Focus Camera, aka Digital Foto Discount Club (DigitalFotoClub.com) 1303 53rd Street #300 This was the address DigitalFotoClub used for returns. But the BBB always had them at Focus's location. Then DigitalFotoClub used 1080 McDonald Ave for returns. This mailbox store was also used for a while by Ace Photo & Digital for returns. Now DigitalFotoClub uses 905 McDonald Ave. which is their actual location. Also this was the World Photo address used on a web page some years ago. |
|
| 177 |  |
Focus Electronics, Inc., dba Focus Computers & Electronics and FocusUSA.com 4509 13th Ave., Borough Park Current location. Address is on web site. Based on phone numbers and contacts Focus is also using Studio 77, dba BuyingAdvantage.com. Before this location they were at 1305 46th St, though presumably with a storefront facing 13th Ave. For a while after they moved there was a sign on the 13th Ave side telling of this new location. |
|
| 174 |  |
Focus Electronics, Inc., aka Studio 77, dba BuyingAdvantage.com 1305 46th St., Borough Park For a while BuyingAdvantage.com forwarded to the Focus Electronics web site. Address from whois and PriceGrabber, no address at web site when it was up. Their 866-438-3344 number appeared as a contact number in an alt tag on Focus's web site. Plus PriceGrabber has sales@focususa.com for the Studio 77's contact. This is the building that Focus got their start back some 40+ years ago. They enter the door at the left. A sign there says that if there is no answer to call 718-436-4646 or to go around the corner to 4509 13th Ave. Update Feb 2008: BuyingAdvantage.com now has the address 52 Brickman Rd, Suite L-5, Box 24, Fallsburg, NY on their web site. This is way upstate. A visit found the paper sign on the door gone. The door was open. Inside were boxes of appliances. So it appears that this location is still being used as storage for Focus Electronics. Update January 2009: The BuyingAdvantage.com website does not work. Update December 2009: The BuyingAdvantage website is now an Amazon store. |
|
| 258 |  |
FreeTradePhoto.com, www.FTPVideo.net 5520 15th Ave., Suite 2F Address from FTPVideo's site. No address on FreeTradePhoto's site. Sites share 800 number. Both whois records now use 1864 48th Street, which is a house. |

Fumfie.com, aka stores.shop.ebay.com/JerseyPhotoStore and myworld.ebay.com/jeseyphoto 3522 Flatlands Ave, Marine Park Address on web site contact page. The site's about page claims Fumfie.com began its operation in October 2001. However the domain was registered in April 2008 and site first came up in January 2009. Whois now cloaked. But before about 19-Mar-2009 it was registered to a home at 1151 East 4th St, Brooklyn. Nothing in the NY State entity database, yet on this BBB page it claims they were incorporated on 4/1/2008 in NY. eBay store name from Google search. They have been an eBay seller under the JerseyPhotoStore name since May 1999. On 11-May-2008 JerseyPhotoStore.com was registered by the same fellow as fumfie.com, but using 1336 East 7th St, Brooklyn and (866) 666-9198. The web site redirects to the eBay store. That phone number googled to fumfie (now changed on the site) and to the eBay dealer jeseyphoto [sic], also active since 1999. They are using the storefront. A fellow was out front smoking. The In The Spotlight Dance Studio has moved to Ave S according to their web page. phumpy.com, phumphy.com, phumphay.com redirect to fumfie.com. |

GoGoTech, Inc., aka 101 Phones, Inc., dba 101Phones.com 3167 Coney Island Ave, Brighton Beach Old address from price.com. Web site and corporate entity database have two different addresses in Manhattan. See the 213 West 35th St. one. Update: Web site now has 34 34th St, 3rd Floor, Brooklyn listed for returns and 39 West 38th St in Manahttan for the corporate entity (though the database shows Kings County, aka Brooklyn, as the place of business). |

|
| 25 |  |
Harmony Video & Electronics, Inc., dba ShopHarmony.com 1801 Flatbush Ave., Flatlands Address on web site. I was passing by on a Sunday and I found a colorful new sign. But they were closed and all shutters were down. So I returned during the week when I knew they were to be open. But the middle shutters were still down. Are they lazy? Are they discouraging walkins? I guess if I want them open I'll have to phone first! Here is the old storefront from back in April 2001. Through 2007 they also used Harmony Computer (HarmonyComputers.com). |
|
| 216 |  |
High Point Cameras, dba HighPointCameras.com, Sky Point Digital, SkyPointDigital.com, Bingo Camera, BingoCamera.com 14A 53rd St., 7th fl. Address on High Point web site. High Point domain registered 07-Jul-2008 and has been anonymous since the beginning. Entrance is the gray door at the bottom. I went up to the 7th floor. An unmarked double doors were open and I saw boxes of electronic equipment inside. Evidence is this company is run by the same people that ran the now defunct Express Camera family. SkyPointDigital.com registered on 29-June-2009. Sky Point confirmed to be here as they gave out this address for a return. BingoCamera.com registered 23-Mar-2009. Bingo being here confirmed by the BBB. Bingo is now a crude search page. |

HotBuys Electronics, Inc., dba HotBuysElectronics.com, aka Taaffe Photo, TaaffePhoto.com; aka L and T Electronics, dba landtelectronics.com, aka Myrtle Electronics, MyrtleElectronics.com, aka myworld.ebay.com/focusdigital, aka Lorimer Electronics, LorimerElectronics.com, aka Clinton Hill Electronics, ClintonHillElectronics.com 125 Taaffe Pl., South Williamsburg No address on Taaffe Photo site, but they being here is obvious from this picture. The pictured awning in now the only sign on the building. (To read awning, click on web sized picture to get the orginal sized one, and be sure to uncheck "Enable automatic image resizing" in IE.) Picture taken April 2007. See older pictures following. According to Scott's Page, L and T Electronics is a new site for Hot Buys. From this ResellerRatings page I found that Myrtle Electronics is another domain they use. Its whois record uses 145 Middleton St, which isn't too far from here. Plus the phone number in the whois reverses to Hot Buys at this address. Update May 2009: Lorimer Electronics is registered at 119 Lorimer St which isn't too far from here. A check of the LorimerElectronics.com web site finds it identical to the MyrtleElectronics.com site and very similar to the TaaffePhoto.com site. Clinton Hill Electronics was registered in May 2009. They are connected to here as a phone number buried in the code belongs to Taaffe. And these people like to use names of streets and neighborhoods in the area. (But maybe they will stop after they read this.) |
|
| 133 |  |
HotBuys Electronics, Inc., dba HotBuysElectronics.com 123 Taaffe Pl., South Williamsburg This sign wasn't up the first time I took pictures. And it was gone the third time I visited. This door is the one at far left in picture above. Note in the first visit (next picture) the doors were gray. By this visit they were painted tan. |
|
| 43 |  |
HotBuys Electronics, Inc., dba HotBuysElectronics.com 125 Taaffe Pl., South Williamsburg Close up of door The sign is no longer on the door. This is the door at the far right in the full building picture above. These initial set of pictures taken November 2003. You can see a close up of the sign on door which is in Hebrew. It translates to: Every day the afternoon prayer is at precisely 2:00 PM. |

Hot Buys main address in 2002 545 Broadway See Scott's Page. In Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. [Picture taken on a Sunday.] |

Hot Buys address used for returns in 2002 12 Boerum St. Back entrance to 545 Broadway. Sign now has something to do with girls. |
|
| 239 |  |
Hotbuys Electronics, Inc., dba L and T Electronics, landtelectronics.com 180 Division Avenue, South Williamsburg Address on web site. When the site was new, in the code for the policies page was Hot Buys Electronics. This is documented at Scott's Page. The white sign on the building's front is for a kitchen on the basement level. When biking by in Jan 2008 I found that the wall fan behind the fellow has been replaced with a large duct going up the front of the building (where the fire escape and windows aren't). |
|
| 166 |  |
HotBuys Electronics, Inc., dba Lorimer Electronics, LorimerElectronics.com 119 Lorimer Street, South Williamsburg No address at web site. This address from whois. Domain registered 10-May-09. Phone number in registration does not reverse. They have the beginnings of a page at ResellerRatings, with the first review 13 days after domain registration. Wondering just where this dealer was actually doing business out of I did some checking. I found that the LorimerElectronics.com web site is identical to the MyrtleElectronics.com site and very similar to the TaaffePhoto.com site. These are names used by what I call the Hot Buys family. N.B. Don't you just love the randomness of the balconies? And some apartments have altered their windows. Then with all the bars it looks like a prison. |

J & L Photo Supply Corp., dba DigiExpo.com 820 E. 42nd St. Address from web site and NY entity database. Sign points to the door in the next picture. |

Omega Merchants Inc., dba Super Digital City, SuperDigitalCity.com and nydigitalcity.com for e-mail only 1274 49th Street, Suite 146, Borough Park SuperDigitalCity.com registered 02/28/08, though the Omega Merchants entity was registered back in 2005. Both entity and domain registration use this address. Address wasn't on web site, but this one now is. Main phone number is in the exchange that this mailbox store is in. Nothing at the BBB. A couple comments at Reseller Ratings. Update: Someone googled a string of text from the aboutus page and found the page is an exact match for the aboutus for FCI Tech! So while this location is not near FCITech, it appears that this is a new name for them. |

Photo Deals LLC, dba Need4Digital.com, NeedForDigital.com, aka Crazy Camera Deals, CrazyCameraDeals.com 1223 McDonald Ave. Address on contact pages. The Need4Digital domain was registered anonymously in Oct-2008. The CrazyCameraDeals domain registered Jan-2007, but was not in use until Fall 2009. You can find the Photo Deals name in a Google Maps Search. This business was originally located at 33 35th Street, 5th Fl, Industry City (Bush Terminals), Sunset Park. The sign on the door there showing Photo Deals. In the NY entity database I find Photo Deals LLC was filed on 27-Jan-2009 and uses an apartment building in Borough Park for its address. When they started they also used 5th Ave Digital, 5thAveDigital.com and FifthAveDigital.com. These domains were registered anonymously in Dec-2008 and they expired in Dec-2009. |

Simon Cells, dba SimonCells.com and Bacario.com 1701 Utica Ave. Address on SimonCells website. Bacario uses 5001 Ave I, which is the address for the right side of building (where the bicyclist is). There is no entrance on that side, just a sign telling to go around the corner. The only cameras SimonCells sells are built into cell phones. Their web site highlights unlocked phones. Update December 2009: SimonCells is now a crude link page, but Bacario is still active. |

USAWholesaleClub.com, aka Network Sales of NY 1748 59th St, Borough Park After they left 4819-4821 2nd Ave. their web site had the address of the mailbox store at 1412 Avenue M. Now no address on site. (The contact page doesn't even work!) This address from reverse lookup on 718-236-2500, which is found on this aboutus.org page and other places. I have found many addresses for this dealer. See a discussion of them at ResellerRatings. So I'm not sure just where they are. The domain registration has for the main address F4LESS.COM, 110 McGaw Drive, Edison, NJ 08837. Maybe they moved to Edison NJ? The Administrative Contact is listed at 518 5th Ave in Manhattan, but that building is undergoing a complete renovation. So this will serve as a substitute until I find out. |

Wall Street Photo, WallStreetPhoto.com, WallStreetPhoto.net, WallStreetPhoto.biz Unknown Brooklyn location Domains registered 27-May-2006. They have been anonymous from the beginning. Only .net is functioning. Everything goes through Amazon. On the About Seller page it has "Founded in 1983 as a family run business" and "has grown from a small family business to a large corporation including our many retail locations and online sales channels". On this page Amazon Seller Community, I find a post: Re: Where Is Everyone From? From: http://www.wallstreetphoto.com Registered: 3/26/06 Posted: May 29, 2006 6:49 PM With "I'm in Brooklyn, NY, nearby!" Nothing at BBB.

Y&B Sales & Distributors, aka Zalmar International, dba Zalmar.com 63 Flushing Ave. Building 58, Unit 353, Brooklyn Navy Yard Address from web site. While I couldn't get into the yard, one of the guards was most helpful in telling me the business name of Unit 353. He then gave me the building number and a map. Picture taken through the fence from the outside. At one time PriceRunner had 100 Ross Street, Suite 3D (in South Williamsburg). That is an apartment building. Presumably a previous address. |

| 13 |  |
Zalmen Reiss And Associates Inc. (ZReiss.com), dba Digital Distributors (DigitalDistributors.com), aka Digital Etc. (DigitalEtc.com) 171 47 St. Address from Z Reiss web site and whois. At the BBB this address used to appear, but that page now has 129 31st Street, which is an address they haven't used in years. Long ago they were in a small building at 150 20th St. This here is two buildings. #171 is the building to the right. The large overhead door at the left is to the loading dock they are using. DigitalEtc.com now has no address at site and whois is cloaked. From a sign inside front door you can see they are also distributors for other camera dealers. |

888 Inc., dba 888 Digital (888digital.com) 3674 Nostrand Ave. This was their next location. Before I had this picture the CEO invited me to come inside and also take a picture there. But I was running late on this trip. So I just looked in. What I saw was a warehouse with a shipping bench. The place was a lot neater than the warehouse that I did take an inside picture of! Update August 2006: I passed by and their sign was gone. I looked in and saw basically the same shipping bench and shelves. I saw a fellow. I motioned for him to come out. He came out of the storefront next door. He informed me that 888 had moved to NJ. A check of the 888 web site finds it now only open to resellers. A reverse on their phone number got 1416 East Linden Avenue, Linden, NJ. This location is now the warehouse of PowerSellerNYC. |

Accoona Corp., dba ButterflyPhoto.com, aka BuyDigitalDirect.com and DigitalETailer.com 1625 Gravesend Neck Rd. Former location. A fellow getting out of his car saw me taking my camera out. After hearing my first name he knew exactly who I was! He didn't want me to take the outside. It was just a plain ordinary warehouse. So he let me take the inside instead. Butterflyphoto and DigitalETailer.com have moved to 1764A New Durham Rd, South Plainfield, NJ. BuyDigitalDirect.com is no longer in use. This location now has a wood shop inside and a for rent sign. |

Accoona Corp., SkyNet Communications, dba BestBuyPlasma.com (or .info), LizMadison.com, Skynet22.com, lcdtvs.com, BestPlasma.com, PlasmaBAY.com, and NYLiving.com 481 Kings Highway, Bensonhurst Former location. (First location was a second floor office at 6400 18th Ave.) On the lcdtvs.com's FAQ page it says checks should be made payable to SkyNet Communications, Corp. but that name is not found in the NY State entity database. LCDTVs.com also uses this Manhattan Address. BestBuyPlasma, SkyNet22 and NYLiving.com have moved to 1764A New Durham Rd, South Plainfield, NJ. lcdtvs.com is now showing 101 Hudson St., Suite 3501, Jersey City, NJ. LizMadison.com was here from July 2004 to Fall 2005, but the domain was not bought by Accoona. For a while it did forward to plasmaBAY.com. (And for another period it was up with 1907 Highway 35, Unit 4, Oakhurst, NJ. And briefly in June 2004, when new, LizMadison had 216 E. 49th St, 4th Fl, NYC on their site.) Now it is dead. |

AgA Electronics Inc., dba 5StarsElectronics.com, BestSalePrices.com, US1Camera.com and PCandPlasma.com 122 Ave. T Primary Brooklyn location. Then for a short time they used a storefront at 90 Quentin Rd. Now US1Camera has 426 N. Wood Avenue, Linden, NJ for showroom. Address was at US1Camera.com's web site. Address was in 5StarsSlectronics' whois. This is the address that was formerly Landmark Distributors, which dba US1Digital.com. See pictures 31. Landmark sign is now gone, though the business name may still be Landmark Distributors, Inc. (You can read the full word Linoleum now.) An August 2007 visit found an orthopedic shoe place here. One piece of evidence is no AgA Electronics Inc. is registered in NY State. 5StarsElectronics web site is now a link site. BestSalePrices.com now uses 4022 Ave U on its web site. No address now at PCandPlasma.com site. |
|
| 119 |  |
AgA Electronics Inc., dba PCandPlasma.com 1915 E. 8th St. Address from web site, pricescan, and cnet.

Chaim Piekarski moved back to this address around the end of 2005, after the Thomas Hawk barrage. See picture of front door and stairwell where the employees smoke (and stick the butts into holes in the wall). When PriceRitePhoto, TheCameraMall and BarclaysPhoto were active the web sites, whois, and BBB had a mailbox store at 1274 49th Street, Borough Park. They also used this Manhattan address and this Jersey City address. EmpirePhoto.net is their domain, but is not currently in use. See Shedding Some Light for more detail. Update August 2008: The eBay store CamerasGoneWild when operational showed item locations as Monroe, NY, but whose merchandise shipped with this return address. They have also registered CamerasGoneWild.net. Update Sept 2007: Their newest name is D B Roth. All connections to Brooklyn are cloaked. The dbrothonline.com was a bit strange, with missing images and out of stocks, but the action was at their Amazon.com site. Update May 2008: From this court case I found the names: New York Lab & Photo, Windsor Photo Supplies, Inc. and ABC Corp. 1-10. The C.P. Industries, Inc. listed is his prior firm which I picture here. Update January 2009: C&A moved operations to 2 Bergen Turnpike, Ridgefield Park, NJ. This is a building they own in an industrial neighborhood. They are now only doing wholesale. No retail sales. |

Compu Solutions, DigiCombos.com, SL NetCom, DigitalKazoo.com 54 Pearl St., Dumbo Address was on DigiCombos.com home page. Now the contact page has 6414 N. University Drive, Tamarac, FL 33321, but the phone numbers are still in Brooklyn and the main one reverses to this address. The other names, except Digital Kazoo, from a paper sign inside the entrance. They were in an office on the second floor. There are many offices or apartments up there. Strangely none of the doors have a name or number. DigitalKazoo.com's whois had ID-Tech Solutions, Inc. with two addresses: a Lakewood address with the same person's name as the ID-Tech entity and 185 Wilson Street in South Williamsburg (which is a Metivta, an organization dedicated to seeking spirituality in the Jewish tradition through meditation, text study and spiritual practices). DigitalKazoo.com now simply forwards to DigiCombos.com. In late 2008 ID-Tech Solutions split from DigiCombo and they remained here and provide networking related services. DigiCombo.com's whois now has 2135 E. 26th St, Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. |

S & P Electronics Inc., aka Park Avenue Electronics, dba ParkAveElectronics.com, ParkAvenueElectronics.com 55 Walton Street, Williamsburg The right most mailbox of the four had S&P written in ink on a piece of paper. [Picture taken on a Saturday.] A visit in July 2007 finds no evidence that they are still here. Their web site has 25 Park Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11236 for mail, but it does not exist. There is a Park Ave in zipcode 11205, but a site visit finds no such address with that street number. That side of the street is the side of a housing project. Update: In this RipOff Report the customer was told to not return to the web address, but to Capital Audio. No address is on that RipOff page, but that Capital Audio (in Manhattan) is the only one around here. In the NY Entity database, and on some old web searches, the address for S&P is 1502 37th Street, Brooklyn. That is a semi-detached house in Borough Park. |

A sign on it has 4821 2nd Ave. USA Wholesale Club used to be at 2410 65th St. That, a much smaller space than this, is now a beauty clinic. Update February 2008: 1StopPlasma.com is no longer in business, and USAWholesaleClub.com is no longer their business partner.

All Star Distributions (AllStarDist.com), aka DigitalShopCart.com, aka Amazing Tomato Headquarters (AmazingTomato.com), Yellow Bee Photo (YellowBeePhoto.com, yellowbphoto.com), 177B West End Ave., Manhattan Beach Address from some websites. The B storefront was down under. They have now moved out. YellowBee shared a fax with Digital Shopcart. If you e-mailed Yellow Bee a question the response came from ilan@allstardist.com. Digitalshopcart's Privacy page had All Star Distributions, 177B etc. Yellow Bee's address on PriceGrabber was the 177B address. Allstardist.com was registered at the 177B address. It is now cloaked. Only DigitalShopCart.com now works, and it just offers hosting services. This outfit resurfaced for a while as Blue Bear Toys. |

ATK Digital World Inc., dba Log2Shop.com 1002 Quentin Rd, Suite 3001 From whois, reverse lookup on phone number and corporate entity database. No address at web site. Now address removed from whois. Web site no longer working and they are out-of-business. A check finds names removed from mailbox. In a 2003 RipOffReport.com they used 1057 E. 2nd Street, which is a detached Victorian one-family frame house. |
|
| 73 |  |
Avis Sales Corp., dba Delta International (DeltaInternational.com), Delta Jewelry (DeltaJewelry.com) and Jewelry Discount Boutique (JewelryDiscountBoutique.com) 344 Marcy Ave. at Heyward St., South Williamsburg Address was from reverse lookup on Jewelry Discount Boutique's main phone number (718-384-5300). Web pages used mail drops in Manhattan. A sign on the 344 Marcy door says to use door around corner. A sign on the first door around the corner says to use next door. That second door is pictured here. All these names are listed by the door. My November 2003 picture was updated July 2007 and they were out of business a few months later. A pass by in Jan 2008 found the signs still up. |
|
| 255 |  |
B.A.W., Inc., dba Big Apple Direct, BigAppleDirect.com, Big Daddy's Electronics 7514 18th Ave. This address was from their site. Their domain registrant and phone numbers led to Big Daddy's Electronics at 435 Kings Highway, which appears to be a former address (at the time I visited it had a temporary clothing store). Now the domain name has expired. A site visit finds that B.A.W. is still here and very much in business. |
|
| 141 |  |
B&D Electronics, dba AllBrandNew.com, bndonline.com and PlasmaCreations.com 1285 Broadway, Unit B, Bushwick Wholesale liquidators. Out of business. PlasmaCreations.com is now link page. The other two domains are not active. |
|

B&Y Distributors Inc., dba MayfairDigital.com, a.k.a Marcus Audio Video, George Gomez 3670 Nostrand Ave. I found this next door to 888 Digital. So I took the picture. Doing research after I got back I found their address on the web. Their web site (and fax) then had them in Dania, Florida. (But now out-of-business.) NY entity database has 18 E 41st St, 10th Floor in Manhattan for DOS process. I stopped by in August 2006. The awning was still up. The windows were covered with paper. I looked into 888digital next door. I saw a fellow. I motioned from him to come out. He came out from this storefront. So now the storefront and the former 888digital (now PowerSellerNYC) one are connected inside. |

Barnabeez.com 1312 44th St., Suite 205/210 Now out of business. They were also using DiscoCam.com, iWonDigital.com, SuperPixDigital.com, MonsterAudioAndVideo.com, DiscoveryCameras.com and Best Discount Camera. All sites now down or go to link pages.

Big On Digital, Inc., dba BigOnDigi.com, BigOnDigital.com and WholeSaledigi.com 1641 McDonald Ave. (from web site and BBB) This is next door to A. Heffco. The store has shallow depth. Then there is a door with a sign saying keep closed. It was open. I could see people at desks in the back. BuyDigital4Less.com is also registered at this address, but isn't yet being used. Comment at ResellerRatings claims Click4TVs.com is affiliated. Now out of business and a deli has moved in. They were using both floors. Web sites are either down or go to a link page. |

ElectroToysDepot.com and Electronics-2-go.com registered 18-Jan-2008. BlueBearToys address from PriceRunner. This address is the home of Ilan Guez. For a while it was the whois address for DigitalShopCart.com, which was a domain in the now defunct YellowBee family. PayPal payments to ElectroToysDepot go to BlueBearToys. Electronics-2-go.com was only up for a brief time. Some time in February 2008 all went out of business. |

Blue Switch Digital Inc., dba BlueSwitchDigital.com, a.k.a Blue Web Digital (BlueWebDigital.com) 673 Coney Island Ave. At one time this was 888 Digital's location. See 1. Then this had two awnings for Choice One Digital. I passed by often, but never got around to taking a picture. Then the awnings were gone. The ChoiceOneDigital.com site is no longer active and the Choice One Digital Inc. corporate entity is inactive. A little research found the place became Blue Switch Digital. Their domain name was registered on 02-Apr-2004, a short time after the choiceonedigital.com site went shut down. (Defunct DNS on choiceonedigital.com is BLUESWITCH.NET.) Around October 2005 Blue Switch went out of business. Brooklyn Bicycles has moved into the space. Their domain names now redirect to devix.com, a web solutions firm. Some time later a paper sign for Blue Web Digital was put up, so I got a picture. |

Bridgeview Photo Enterprises, Inc., Executive Camera Enterprises, Inc. [first two in NY entity database], Bridgeview Photo LLC, Bridgeview Corporation, Executive Camera & Cellular Corp, BridgeviewPhoto.com (active Sep-2002 to Feb-2003), and ExecutiveCameras.com (active Jun-2002 to Feb-2003) 33 Bay Ridge Ave, Bay Ridge After The Digital Dog Roman Geyzer ran this. From past whoises and web searches. Much more info is here ResellerRatings.com. Roman appears to now be living in Deerfield Beach, FL. It is not clear what now is at this address. This picture is 2007. Web searching on the address finds the Shore Deli gourmet shop, a hospice care company, a executive/title/abstract search company, and maybe a mortgage company. |
|
| 266 |  |
Brik Software, Inc., dba Save On Projectors, SaveOnProjectors.com 1381 Shore Pkwy, Bensonhurst No address on web site. Company name and address in whois. Address also on an information site called ProjectorCentral.com. NY entity database has them at 2030 74th St., which is also a house.

|
| 113 |  |
Buzz 4 Digital, dba Buzz4Digital.com 2005 Homecrest Ave., Homecrest No address at web site. This address from cnet. The whois address 84 Gravesend Neck Rd (which I took) is also a home (whois address has now been removed). No reverse lookup on phone number. PriceSCAN had them at 212 Highlawn Ave. It is likely that this name was another name used by AllStar Camera. Now out of business, but the buzz4digital e-mail address was used in 2008 for the original domain registration for Big Camera Deals. |

Camera City Inc., dba CCI Camera City (CCICameraCity.com), aka Royal Camera and Video Inc. (RoyalCamera.com), and The Camera Source, Inc., dba TCSCamera.com, TheCamerasSource.com, aka BananaBoatCamera.com 342 Kings Highway, Bensonhurst In addition to the storefront they were using the upstairs. I watched a fellow come down and enter the store. When TCSCamera.com started they had no address on the web site. In the whois they used P.O. Box 230816, 344 Ave U, Gravesend. But the NY State corporate entity database had them at CCI's address! BananaBoatCamera.com's phone number was the same as TCS. Now out of business and they have completely moved out of this location. Now some sites forward to AMPhotoWorld.com. One is "under construction." Two are link pages. |
|
| 269 |  |
Camera Giants Inc., dba CameraGiantsInc.com PO Box 230795, Gravesend, 11223 No address at site. This address from NY entity registration (registered 06-Feb-2009). They could be found at the price search engines EveryPrice.com, LowPriceDigital.com and a new search site called RightBuyDigital.com.

Camera Unlimited LLC, dba PhotoSweep.com 1569 E. 8th St. Address from whois and web site. Phone number reverses to this address under Camera Photo Inc, but no entity found under this name for NY State. See pictures following for prior addresses used. Domain is now for sale. |
|
| 163 |  |
Camera Unlimited LLC, dba CameraUnlimited.com 3409 Avenue S, Marine Park This is a mail box store that is now out of business. However, their 718 number reverses to this address. And this address was still on their web site after it closed. The piece of paper on the right shutter is enlarged in the next picture. CameraUnlimited.com domain name has expired. Only PhotoSweep site is now active, and it still has this address buried in the text on the About us help page. Possibly an oversight, as the PhotoSweep contact page has the 1569 E. 8th St address. See close up of card on right shutter. |
|
| 143 |  |
Camera Unlimited LLC, dba BestChoiceDigital.com 2071 Flatbush Ave, Suite #191 This address found on BestChoiceDigital.com's website, BBB and whois. Phone number on their site reverses to Camera Unlimited at 3409 Avenue S. Update: Site no longer available. |

Central Digital Inc., dba dBuys.com, iBuyDigital.com, iBuyPlasma.com, RealDealShop.com, DigitalMegaStore.com, and CentralDigital.com 252 Conover St., Red Hook This address is the door at the far left of this corner building. See closeup of sign on that door. When DigitalMegaStore started up it used the address 181 Van Dyke St. That is the door at the very right in the picture. A sign on it showed the entrance was around the corner. This is their second location, to which they moved to in 2002. Central Digital started in a storefront at 2552 Coney Island Ave (picture from April 2002). After this location they moved to 298 Fernwood Ave, Edison, NJ. They then returned to Brooklyn to 2931 Avenue S under new ownership. |

|
| 256 |  |
CoreMega Enterprises Inc, dba MegaCameras.com, aka www.goIpods.com and www.GPSBlowout.com 2023 Stillwell Ave. #1 Address was from web sites and whois.

CP Industries, dba Camera Zone (TheCameraZone.com and CameraZone.com), The Photo Specialists (ThePhotoSpecialists.com), Film Shop (FilmShop.com), and The Camera Mall (TheCameraMall.com) 140 58th St., Suite 4K Also see closeup of entrance sign. All of their domains, expect TheCameraMall.com now redirect to UniquePhoto.com. (The domain names were sold to them in late 2001 or early 2002.) TheCameraMall.com domain was kept, and is now one of C&A's domain names. CP is the initials of Chaim Piekarski. Pictures taken April 2000. |
|
| 145 |  |
Cuisant Corp., dba Cuisant.com 1529 Dean St., Crown Heights Address was on web site. They did sell a few digital cameras, but they mostly sell appliances and other things for the home. |
|
| 146 |  |
DCSS, Inc., dba xocute.com 2974 Nostrand Ave Web site says this address is warehouse location. Picture was taken on a weekday during business hours. Maybe they are upstairs? Update August 2006: Web site says under construction. Presumably they are out of business. |

DCD Marketing LLC, dba ShopCartUSA.com, DidUPrice.com, DidYouPrice.com, DigitalSaver.com, MagazineWorm.com, FlyingPrices.com, aka Intercept LLC, dba Intercept Advertising and Marketing, InterceptAd.com 2744 Atlantic Ave., Broadway Junction Site is a merchant site with independent vendors. The whois for ShopCartUSA.biz had the same phone number as found on DCD Marketing's home page. And the whois and corporate entity addresses of DCD and Intercept are the same 2744 Atlantic Ave. When passing by in May 2007, and again in January 2008, there was a building for sale sign out front, though a check found the address still on the ShopCartUSA site after that. Observed in my January 2008 pass-by is the building on the corner to the right of this picture goes along with this. It is painted the same and has the same for sale sign. InterceptAd.com appears to no longer be. Other sites shut down after the Texas AG sued them for fraud. See Price comparison Web sites may not be trustworthy. Actual business itself may not have gone out of business, but all these price search engine sites are shut down. |
|
| 215 |  |
DCD Marketing LLC, dba DigitalSaver.com 105-04 Jamaica Ave., Suite 35 Richmond Hill (Queens) A price search site. This is in Queens near Brooklyn. No names on doorbells. This is another of the price search engines for hire. This address from privacy page at web site. No whois information. No phone number at web site. Site claims to be DigitalSaver.com LLC, but not found in NY entity database. When it got started, for many items all five stores listed were A&M outfits. Note this store sells mailboxes, but is not a mailbox store. |
|
| 211 |  |
DigiNY, dba diginy.com 2570 W. 2nd St., Gravesend From PriceSCAN. No longer in business. Picture taken after their web URL was picked up by domain name harvester. Sign on the door says 615 Corp. But according to the NY corporate entity database 615 Corp is on Long Island and is inactive. On this page it has 613 Camera Corp at this location. |
|
| 112 |  |
Digital Dealz, dba DigitalDealz.com 1912 Avenue M, Midwood Address found at: Complaints.com. Inside the door there are two mailboxes for two offices on the second floor. Site up during 2002 and 2003, possibly longer. Now out of business. |
|
| 100 |  |
Digital Depot Inc., dba ePlusShopper.com, stores.ebay.com/PopularPhotos, Solutions4Digital.com, good-bid.com, and DigitalEShop.com 1615 East 35 Street Address from whois, and the BBB by searching for the phone number found at ePlusShopper.com. Other dba's use same 800 number. At this address had been solutions4digital.com, but that site was only active from May 2002 to March 2003. The now expired and never used domain name DealsOnCell.com may have been theirs. |
|
| 15 |  |
Digital Headquarters Inc., dba DigitalHeadquarters.com 8115 5th Ave. No longer in business. Domain name is for sale. A tuxedo rental place moved into this location. Corporate entity has an inactive and an active entry. Both addresses in NYC. Active one, registered in August 2005, has place of business in New York County. |
|
| 250 |  |
Digital-4-Less, Digital4Less, Dig4Less.com 5823 19th Ave. This address from current whois. No address at web site. At Bizrate and Shopzilla they use a PO box number at the Old Chelsea Post Office in Manhattan. Some web sites have the Brooklyn zip code of 11231 (which is not here, but the Red Hook section of Brooklyn). The pictured address does not exist. There are no buildings with addresses on this side of the block. The side of this building, facing onto 59th St, is where this address would be. Update: I came upon a September 2004 whois record. At that time their domain servers were TRISTATECAMERA.COM. That is a Manhattan dealer near the Old Chelsea Post Office. Ergo, this is simply another name for TriState Camera. (N.B. The NY corporation "Digital 4 Less Inc." has nothing to do with this web site.) This website went out of existence in 2006, though the parent, TriState, is still around. |
|
| 268 |  |
Digitals Future Eco, Inc., dba DigitalsFuture.com 2515 86th Street, Bensonhurst Domain is anonymous and registered October 2008. Web site only has Brooklyn cell phone number as a clue. This address from NY entity database. Corporation registered 01-Dec-2008. While this picture was taken on a Sunday, a weekday visit found the left shutters the same. Just a lot more cars. While I was in front on the sidewalk a fellow saw me taking out my camera. He ran back and went in the door on the right. Then another fellow came out to look. This suspicious activity leads me to believe that this dealer is operating out of the door to the right. Were that only a mortgage company they would not be concerned over a bicyclist on a public sidewalk with a camera. Note the street number on the awning is a little different. This is behind a large storefront that had been a Blockbuster and it covered many street numbers. Update: Address confirmed in this Amazon.com discussion. Now out of business. Real comments at Reseller Ratings stopped in May 2009. |
|
| 109 |  |
E & R Electronics & Accessories, Corp., dba Empire Digital, aka, MOS Marketing Corp. 5816 New Utrecht Avenue, Borough Park This address was from Empire Digital's About page. Confirmed in NY entity database. The E & R address in the entity database is 6506 20th Ave, which is also found on Complaints.com. By the time I made it to 6506 20th Ave in October 2006 they had moved away and a car and limo service place had moved in. From 2002-2005 they used EmpireDigital.com. Then they switched to EmpireDigital.us. Then was using the site at the link above. Now out of business. At this location the awning now is for The Computer Guys, which sells no products, only services. |
|
| 184 |  |

|
| 39 |  |
entore, Inc., aka Zero Delivery Inc. 1957 86th St. #186 Centore.com's only address was here. Centore.com was active from Fall of 2000 until Fall of 2002. USAWholesaleClub.com's original domain registration in 11/04 was here with Advantage Internet Services at #248. |

On a visit just after 01-Sep-05 I found a new business (GCO Products, Inc.) moving in. Then on 30-Apr-06 the GCO sign was gone, and there was no name on storefront. Maybe they are still here? As of August 2007 this address was still being used on web sites, e.g. DigitalEBuys's. In Dec 2007 DigitalEBuys.com was found forwarding to TechOnDigital.com, a site in the Starlight family. (NY entity database shows GCO Products Inc. at 228 Avenue M, Suite #4.) In August 2007 the shutter over the glass door was down, but there were people upstairs (which is accessed from the white door). Former sites used: Best Buy Digital (BestBuyDigital.com, BestBuyDigital.net), StewartMichaels.com (This address appears on the StewartMichaels.com whois record. StewartMichaels.com forwarded to store.yahoo.com/buydigital/, but is now down). |

Esupersale, dba Best Buy Digital (BestBuyDigital.com), CircuitDigital.com, SourceForDigital.com, OneClickDigital.com, DigitalFuze.com, DigitalSupportDepartment.com 1080 McDonald Ave, Suite 303 This address is the one the BBB has. Also used for returns. OneClickDigital.com has this address on web site. Also found here: http://www.shopcartusa.com/digitalfuze/Details/ Some 800 numbers are the same as Best Buy Digital. MyDigitalPalace.com used this "suite" number for returns, but is no longer active. SourceForDigital.com is no longer active. DigitalFuze.com now forwards to OneClickDigital.com. |
|
| 235 |  |
Esupersale, dba OneClickDigital.com and DigitalEBuys.com 1950 Homecrest St., Homecrest This was the address in the whois database for both these domain names. Now it is only for OneClickDigital.com, with DigitalEBuys.com now using 7012 20th Ave. Web site address for OneClickDigital is a mail box store. Web site address for DigitalEBuys is 7012 20th Ave., which they may or may not still be at. So actual place of business is unknown, or it could be here. |
|
| 247 |  |
Epix Photo & Digital, dba epixphoto.com 40-36 22nd St, Unit #3A Long Island City (Queens) Address from web site. This is a large building. Only a corner is pictured here. Also there is another entrance on 41st Ave. |

| 263 |  |
eStore of N.Y. Inc., dba PlasmaHouse.com, PlasmaWholesale.com, Dr. Plasma & Pro Video (DrPlasma.com), aka Empire Home Theater 481 Kings Highway This storefront is the former home of Sky Net. They moved to NJ, so I stopped by to be sure. I found this sign. Phone number in sign belongs to PlasmaHouse.com. Checking found that this address appeared on all the eStore web sites. The EmpireHT.com has never worked since I started checking. In December 2007 this sign was gone. The only updating of the exterior since Sky Net moved out has been the blackening of Sky Net on the awning. Update: Checking the web sites I found that while the PlasmaWholesale.com site still uses this address, the PlasmaHouse.com and DrPlasma.com sites now have 303 Park Ave South #1081, Manhattan, with a note stating that domains are under new ownership as of 4-13-08. At this address I found a for rent sign. The current address in the whois for PlasmaHouse.com and DrPlasma.com domains is 6512 Bay Parkway, which is where they were until a 2004 fire. As you can see from the picture the ground level has a closed Nationwide Insurance. Could they be upstairs? There were no names on the intercoms to help answer this. |
|
| 114 |  |
eStore of N.Y. Inc., dba PlasmaHouse.com, PlasmaWholesale.com, drprojector.com and Dr. Plasma & Pro Video (DrPlasma.com) 1845 Coney Island Avenue, Midwood Was new location. There were people working behind the shutters. Address confirmed by phone. Was also on some web sites. See next picture for former location. PlasmaHouse.com and DrPlasma.com now have 481 Kings Highway on web sites. drprojector.com is now a link page. |
|
| 115 |  |
eStore of N.Y. Inc., dba PlasmaHouse.com, drprojector.com and DrPlasma.com 6512 Bay Parkway This had been the address on the web site and whois. But there was a fire here in about September 2004. Then they moved to 1845 Coney Island Avenue. See prior picture, though for a long time after they moved they continued using this address. According to an old price.com page, before this they were at 8862 15th Avenue, which is a detached two-family brick house in Bensonhurst. |
|
| 203 |  |
EveryPrice.com, aka LowPriceDigital.com 1281 49 Street, Suite 302 Web site first appeared at the end of 2001. This is one of the price comparison sites where the seller pays to be "featured."

The site is 1/3 owned by Broadway Photo. Site was shut down after the Texas AG sued for fraud. See Price comparison Web sites may not be trustworthy. |

It is possible that Bingo Cameras (BingoCameras.com) is also here, based on the 4/20/09 comment at ResellerRatings on Bingo Cameras where a fellow called both Sonic and Bingo and got the same salesman. At one time the BBB also had Bingo on the Sonic page, but then it was removed. Update June 2009: Sonic Cameras was sued by the NY AG and agreed to shut down. A for rent then appeared in the window of this and 3507. |

A. Heffco update 1643 McDonald Ave. Also see pictures 26 and 27. Sign is no longer on door. New awning. The following week the pile was still in front. It was windy. I could see large boxes labeled Zenith underneath. Possibly large TVs (which they sell under the Hypaudio name). There was a delivery of electronic equipment taking place when I was taking this picture. Now out of business and building is available. |

A. Heffco, aka HypeAudio.com/HypAudio.com, dba Ideal Audio/Video, dba IdealAV.com and DealzNet.com, aka Howard Pierce Direct AV, dba HPDirectAV.com 108 Ryder Ave, Ocean Parkway Address from web sites. Also at IdealAV.com's whois. This is around the corner from Heffco's 1643 McDonald Ave address. This picture taken Sunday morning, 27-Nov-2005, as I passing by and found the shutters up. The BBB puts Howard Pierce at this address. The address I found for Howard Pierce was the US Post Office at 344 Ave U in Gravesend. Current domain registrant is "Howard Pierce," but the original from December 2005 was Max Zalta. (See Zalta name here.) Howard Pierce web site had picture of a grand office building. But no address appeared anywhere on their web site. Now out of business and a home theater design and installation place is here. |

HighDefOnline.com 2942 Avenue R This is the address that can be found on CNet and at one time was on shopcartusa.com. It used to be the address at their web site. The white door to the right of the needlecraft place is also 2942. Probably they are using the upstairs as their office. Web site then had 7 West 45th St #302, New York, NY. That suite is the location of Goldshot Studios, Inc., a Photography and Graphic Design shop (www.goldshot.com). The registrant for goldshot.com is Assaf Rosenblatt of 1789 Haring St. in Brooklyn (a home). In the past they also used Prestige Plasma (PrestigePlasma.com) and Rapid Plasma (RapidPlasma.com).

ID-Tech Solutions, Inc., dba PriceArrow.com 255 Water St., Vinegar Hill This was a price comparison site with only Brooklyn vendors appearing for cameras. Initally the vendors for all cameras were sites of the same company. Then the eight sites appearing were from two vendors. Now site is no longer up. Picture taken on a weekday during business hours. Address from whois database. Company name from front door. They are no longer at this address, they have moved to 54 Pearl St, which is nearby. Note that ID-Tech Solutions is still in business, but they no longer have any involvement with selling cameras or electronics. |

This is the address used in the whois record for digitallydiscovered.com and digicamreturns.com. No BBB record, and no address at web site. To the left was a store that installed car stereo systems. There was a For Rent sign on the building. A visit on 30-Apr-06 found the sign gone and some men working. They said someone took the place and is moving in. And that a new sign would be going up in front. Update August 2006: No new sign. Activity looks like the marble place next door is now using this as their office. Value Imaging Products Inc. is still an active entity at this address. No longer in business. This address is the address in the NY entity database for Ideal Photo and Video Inc. A resellerratings comment put Digital Fuze at this address. |

|
| 89 |  |
LandMark Distributors, Inc., dba BestSalePrices.com 2025 Avenue U Address was at PriceSCAN and at web site. Now 2025 is the store to the right (In Style). But it doesn't look like a web dealer! So I included the store at 2021. Maybe that's the real location? On a later trip I asked people working at 2021 if they were LandMark. They did not know. They said they just worked there. The upstairs to 2025 had no indication of business activity. Address at web site has now been changed to 4022 Ave U. PriceSCAN no longer lists this dealer. |
|
| 179 |  |
LandMark Distributors, Inc., dba BestSalePrices.com and SourceOneAudio.com 4022 Ave U, Marine Park Address was on both web sites. SourceOneAudio.com then moved to 2815 Nostrand Ave. Then they moved to that building's upstairs offices. |

ShopCartUSA did have MPSuperStore.com at 1558 East 4th Street (a modest detached house). ParkDeals.com whois record has this address. They used to have MarineParkCamera.com, but they failed to renew it and someone else scooped it up. Update July 2006: All of the web sites are closed. A note on the web sites states: "After 14 years in business, we have decided to close our doors." In early August 2006 the landlord posted letters on the store stating they will be taking back the premises. For a while after this one site ParkDeals.com forwarded to a Yahoo storefront that shows product links that did not exist. |
|

MME Digital Corp., dba Click For Digital, ClickForDigital.com, Click4Digital.com, aka American Digital & Video, dba AMDV.com 287 3rd Ave., Gowanus Address was on web sites.

In May 2009 I was passing by and found they have left this location (a floral event service moved in). For a while EnterprisePhoto.com remained up, then even that web site disappeared and they went out of business. See what they left behind: BBB and ResellerRatings.com. For a memento here is their awning on the sidewalk. When they first moved here they were also using MrAccessory.com, InfinityCameras.com, InfinitiCameras.com, and InfinitiPhoto.com, but they are all now down. Side story: They had been using Century 21 Electronics, Century21electronics.com. The Century 21 department store sued them for trademark infringement and harming the stores' reputation. The judge agreed. Some of these names taken from this page: Investigation of On-Line Consumer Electronics Merchants. |
|
| 218 |  |
MrAccessory.com, dba J and K Cameras, Inc., InfinityCameras.com, InfinitiCameras.com, InfinitiPhoto.com, Best Price Cameras (BestPriceCameras.com), Enterprise Photo (EnterprisePhoto.com). Also Worldwide Wireless Wholesalers, Inc. dba oemwholesalers.com 1938 McDonald Ave. Picture taken December 2005. According to PriceSCAN EastCoastDistributor.com was also at this address, and the whois record for it matches all the other whois records for all these domain names. Click on web size picture to read sign at right. In a November 2003 picture there was no awning, the shutters to the storefront were pulled down, and there was a J&K sign above the mailbox. I was passing by in May 2006 and saw "For Rent 3,000 sq ft" signs on the front. After several months I found them at 1965 McDonald Ave. J and K Cameras, Inc.'s entity information lists a lawyer in Manhattan. EnterprisePhoto.com is a member of this family. Buy something, hit the checkout button, and you're at BestPriceCameras.com. Worldwide Wireless Wholesalers has this address in the NY entity database. The oemwholesalers.com name from whois registration, though the oemwholesalers.com website had them in Edison, NJ. |

MrAccessory, aka Regency Photo & Video, Inc., Regency Camera (RegencyCamera.com), Hello Camera (HelloCamera.com) and City Wide Digital (CityWideDigital.com) 196 Ave. U, Gravesend Usage of the Regency and Hello names ceased years ago. These are predecessor companies in the MrAccessory family. This storefront became a Curves for Women. Domain name held by someone in San Diego. This picture taken in April 2002. The BBB claims Regency was part of the BestPriceCameras.com family, which I call MrAccessory. City Wide Digital was active from late 2001 through 2002. At one time PriceSCAN had Mr. Accessory at 195 Avenue U before moving to 1938 McDonald Ave. At the 195 Ave U address is a long time cleaners with two floors of apartments above. I consider the 195 a typo, so I do not include its picture. |

MyWirelessDeal.com, Wisetronics.com, aka 86th Street Photo, Inc., dba 86th St Photo & Video, 86PhotoVideo.com, aka Camera Giants, CameraGiantsInc.com, aka Y.E.S. International 2845 86th Street, 1st Floor, Gravesend Address from PriceSCAN and MyWirelessDeal web site. No address at wisetronics site, but it has this zip code. Wise Tronics phone number does not reverse, but whois contact is same for both these domain names. MyWirelessDeal site is now disabled. 86th St Photo & Video is a new name for this dealer. The address and corporate name was found in the NY entity database. The corporation was registered on 02-Jul-2007. No address on web site. Whois cloaked. The 86PhotoVideo.com domain was created on 07-Feb-2007, long enough ago that many reviews have been posted at Reseller Ratings. Camera Giants from February 23, 2009 post on Thoughts Of Dave blog. Y.E.S. International from the BBB. On 15-Jun-2009 Thoughts-Of-Dave discovered Camera Giants was out of business. |

Price It 4 Less, Inc. (priceit4less.com), aka Bilibi.com 144 Ave. T Despite what you see on the signs, inside it was filled with people at desks and on the phone. Both sites now inactive and a café is at this location. Corporate entity is still active and at this address. |
|
| 171 |  |
Priceline Electronics, PricelineElectronics.com 711 Avenue U, Gravesend Address was on about page. The same address and phone number had been on M & V Leasing's page. On that page was "M&VLEASING GROUP LLC", but I couldn't find it in the NY entity database. Also at this address was MV Capital Group LLC. For this name in the NY entity database I do find MV CAPITAL, L.L.C. in Newburgh, NY, which could be it. There are two buzzers for the second floor. One for the tattoo parlor and the other unlabeled. On a piece of white paper which is just visible over the hood of the black SUV it has M & V and points to the door to the second floor. Site is now a link portal. The M&V sign has been replaced with a for rent sign. There is also a for rent sign in the large second floor window with the air conditioner. |

PriceTopia.com, Inc. 205 Ryder Ave, Mapleton/Flatlands Picture from May 2006. The house was sold in June 2007. This was the home of Albert Houllou, a principal of the Broadway family. PriceTopia is now a price search engine that was only featuring 1WayPhoto.com and LensesNMore.com, both domains of J&V Marketing Inc. Now it mostly features Broadway family web sites. In 2006 PriceTopia.com forwarded to BwayPhoto.com. This address was also used for the registrations of CameraTopia.com, PlasmaTopia.com, and many other domains in the Broadway family. For a list see Shedding Some Light. In addition this address was used by Avram Sakkal for the DNS registration of Digital eTailer, until Accoona took it over. As Houllou purchased this house in October 2000, and DigitaleTailer.com was first registered in December 1999, it is probable that Sakkal was the prior owner and he never bothered to change the address in the registration. This address has never been used on any web sites. The Inc. is from the PriceTopia.com web site, but they are not found in the NY entity database. |
|
| 120 |  |
Quality Photo, dba qualityphoto2005 on eBay 126 Division Ave., South Williamsburg On eBay it simply states that items are in Brooklyn. This address from googling on Quality Photo and Brooklyn. The phone number (718) 963-2146 reverses to them at this address. The intercom has written on it to use buzzer #4 for Quality Photo. Buzzer #4 is labeled "Unique/Ideal Sales." Update: I can no longer find this store on eBay. |

Radio Active Deals Ltd. (Radio Active Electronics, RadioactiveDeals.com), aka USA Photo Nation Inc. (USAPhotoNation.com) 164-15 Jamaica Ave., Jamaica, NY (not too far from Brooklyn) USA PhotoNation.com had no address on their site or whois, but the phone number on their site reversed to this address. And the fax number on USAPhotoNation.com was the same as RadioActiveDeals.com. Then USAPhotoNation.com had a fax number in Idado (after I put this up). Picture taken on 12/12/04, so lots of Christmas shoppers out. NY entity database lists 45 John St, Suite 711, NY, NY for both these corporations. (An office building.) These domain names no longer in use, and this location has become a Foot Locker store. Operations still exist for a couple other domain names at 1554 61st St. |
|
| 224 |  |
RainbowTronics, Inc., dba RainbowTronics.com, aka ExpeCam.com 1554 61st St. Address from old RainbowTronics whois and now gone Buyer's Edge merchant page. Whois contact used USAPhotoNation.com (Radioactive family). Whois is now cloaked. No address at web sites. ExpeCam.com does have this address in their whois. No name was on the door. I wasn't able to get a close up of it, as three fellows outside where giving me a hard time. They said I couldn't take a picture and that they were going to call the police. The NY entity database has the same 711 John St, Suite 711, NY, NY address for RainbowTronics, Inc as the other members of this family. Now both this domain lead to a web page stating they are not taking new orders. |
|
| 91 |  |
Refurbished 4 Less Inc., dba Refurbished4LESS.com 504 East 3rd St. This is the address the web site used to have for returns and contact. Now removed from contact and policies pages.

SeeWhy Electronics Inc., dba TurboBuys.com, FlyInTheSkyPhoto.com, and GetYourDigitalHere.com; formerly iBuyDig.com and SeeWhyElectronics.com 2380 Coney Island Ave. From whois record and phone number reverses to this business at this address. GetYourDigitalHere.com domain was originally here, before it went anonymous. No address at GetYourDigitalHere.com web site. iBuyDig is now part of digicamreturns.com. Probably all of these are simply additional names for J&S. |
|
| 158 |  |
SeeWhy Electronics Inc., dba TurboBuys.com and FlyInTheSkyPhoto.com, formerly iBuyDig.com and SeeWhyElectronics.com 2677 Coney Island Ave. Address from whois record. iBuyDig is now part of digicamreturns.com. Probably all of these are simply additional names for J&S. |

ShopOem.com, Inc., aka WholesaleOem.com and Network Communications 482 Coney Island Avenue, Kensington Address from eBay, web sites, and NY entity database. Web site calls this their pick up center, and there will be no shipping and handling if picked up. As you can see they no longer have 482, and now only have 478. The awning was cut in half! (478 is the address when you reverse the phone number on their awning.) They also used 771 Coney Island Avenue, which is now Digital Delivered. On some sites they are called Network Communications Corporation, but that is not listed in the NY entity database. In the summer of 2007 the awning disappeared and they moved back into 482. See next picture. |
|
| 64 |  |
ShopOem.com, Inc., aka WholesaleOem.com and Network Communications 482 Coney Island Avenue, Kensington A newer picture. ShopOem is back in 482. Painted on the door (in the center of the picture) is Shopoem.com Second floor. Note that awning above 478 is now gone, but the store inside looks the same. A curiousity is in the under construction picture there are no third floor windows. I find it strange that they started with a solid wall and then cut the windows in. Or was it a mistake? Update: Passing by in March 2009 I found the name no longer on the door. Checking I found the web site no longer accessible. |
|
| 253 |  |
Starlight Camera & Video, Inc., dba Tech On Digital, TechOnDigital.com, The Digital Expo, DigitalExpo.com, TheDigitalExpo.com 83 Ave. O, Bensonhurst Current location for these people. They called themselves JES Digital to the NY Daily News. Orders are shipped from J&J Digital in Michigan. See 295 Ave. O for prior location. ( In the past also dba StarlightCameras.com. See old location at 6010 20th Ave.) This address from BBB and NY Daily News article. Whois for The Digital Expo is 1755 Ocean Pkwy, a large apartment building. Address in corporate entity database is 79 Webster Ave, Brooklyn (a home). They also have registered RegalCameras.com using 79 Webster Ave. The RegalCameras.com web site was up from June 2004 through February 2005, though it appears to never have been a merchant site. Possibly as RegalCamera.com [note singular] is a domain name belonging to the Broadway family. TheDigitalExpo.com now forwards to TechOnDigital.com. Sites formerly used: StarlightCamera.com. WAWA Digital, WawaDigital.com, WawaDigital.net, AccessoriesLand.com, Camera Wiz, The Camera Whiz, TheCameraWhiz.com, StargatePhoto.com, Digital Superdeals, DigitalSuperdeals.com, The Digital Nerds, DigitalNerds.com, TheDigitalNerds.com, DigitalEBuys.com. Research laid out in the February 23, 2009 post on Thoughts Of Dave blog claims Pro Photo Nation (ProPhotoNation.com) is a new Starlight name, but evidence I see puts it in Boca Raton, FL. In June 2009 the NY AG shut this firm down. No for rent sign ever appeared, and a paper sign with "Cellular Dimensions" soon appeared on the door. |
|
| 87 |  |
Starlight Camera & Video, Inc., dba I.N.S. Digital World, INS Digital World, aka Starlight Cameras and AccessoriesLand.com 6010 20th Ave. Former address. There was a For Rent sign flapping in the breeze when the picture was taken in Sept 2004. Their next location was 295 Ave O. INSDigitalWorld.com domain is now a search page.

In the past they used Howdy Camera, HowdyCamera.com, but now no longer active. Now completely out of business. Many years ago in the whois and BBB the address 4303 12th Avenue in Borough Park was used. These seem to be same people as www.XeStore.us, which has long been out of business. XeStore's fax was: 718-836-1344 |

Top Choice Digital Inc., dba TopChoiceDigital.com 2931 Avenue S, Marine Park Picture taken April 2000. Web site went down in 2003/2004. They may have left this location before then. A Maximillion real estate office then moved in. Then in 2007 the Broadway Photo family moved here for sales for some of their web sites. Top Choice Digital, Inc. corporate entity is still active and listed at 1709 65th St (which appears here for others!). Update: In addition to the still active corporation there is a new LLC registered: Top Choice Digital Enterprise LLC, with the address of 337 E. 89th St., which is Broadway's warehouse. And the domain name became active again. |

[Picture taken Nov-2000.] This was one of Roman Geyzer's outfits. The Digital Buyer was active from Nov-1999 to Apr-2001. An earlier address used may have been 1950 Utica Avenue. The Digital Dog's domain registration was to Roman Graphics Design at 1461 E. 85th St. After The Digital Dog ended, Roman started BridgeView at 33 Bay Ridge Avenue. |

Value Plasma, ValuePlasma.com 3502 Flatlands Avenue, Marine Park Was second actual location for this dealer. Now out of business and a Kosher restaurant has moved in. With places like Walmart selling large TVs the mail order market for them collapsed. When the web site was more than a page with Amazon.com associate links they were calling the UPS store at 2152 Ralph Ave, Suite 458 their prime location. This address found on the merchant page at the Buyer's Edge site, which is now defunct. They moved here sometime in the Summer 2007. See original location in picture following. |
