Suite 220, which is used by others in the 1 Stop family. Picture updated December 2007. (I was passing by and a car was about to pull out.

Active Atom, a.k.a. Power Seller NYC, Inc., d.b.a. PowerSellerNYC.com, a.k.a. 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. While taking this picture the owner walked by. He kept asking why I was taking a picture of his warehouse. I simply replied repeatedly that I liked taking pictures. Maybe he'll find this here. Web site now invites you to visit their retail store, but the address is not listed, and only pictures of the inside are shown. 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.) |

All Time Deals Inc., d.b.a. AllTimeDeals.com 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. [picture taken on a Sunday] |

All Time Deals Inc., d.b.a. 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.

AllStar Camera Inc., d.b.a. The Camera Professionals, TheCameraProfessionals.com, On Time Digital, OnTimeDigital.com, HD Camera World, HDCameraWorld.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. See older pictures following for the awning and domain names used in the past. For a while they used Xtreme Cameras (XtremeCameras.com) but that site is now down. Also used was U Buy Digital (UBuyDigital.com) but that site now requires a password. The BBB now lists HDCameraWorld as part of The Camera Professionals at this address. On this ResellerRatings page 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. [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., d.b.a. 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. A link to DealsOnAudio.com brought me to OnTimeDigital, so Deals On Audio was probably here. 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. |

Avalon Gadgets, Brooklyn Location (d.b.a. AvalonGadgets.com), a.k.a. Foto Electronics, FotoElectronics.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 uses a mail drop there) and this was just the Brooklyn location. He did not want me to take a picture. (I came back later.) On the web site the fax number's area code is now 775, which is Reno, Nevada. No voice number. A couple months back the web site voice phone number was in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago. The fax number was in Idaho. Foto Electronics from ResellerRatings.com. In a 2004 Epinions.com comment 1421 Sheepshead Bay Road, Suite #145 was found for Avalon. |

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] |

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. |

Broadway Family: A&M Photo World LLC. 2920 Ave. L A&M used to use the same address as Broadway Photo. Now they are also using the second floor at 2920. Broadway is 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) 337 E 89th St., Remsen Village PriceRunner has this address for amphotoworld. 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.

Broadway Family: Prestige Camera, LLC, d.b.a. 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. This is a two-story brick rowhouse. The BBB claims this is another name for Broadway Photo. |

Broadway Family: dBuys.com, iBuyDigital.com, iBuyPlasma.com, RealDealShop.com, DigitalMegaStore.com, and CentralDigital.com; Time2Envy.com, Quest 4 Cameras, Quest4Cameras.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 newest addition is 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. An interesting sidenote is this storefront was used many years ago by a long defunct Top Choice Digital. |

Buy Rite Electronics Inc., d.b.a. BuyRiteElectronics.com 5014 16th Ave., Suite #118, Borough Park Address from web site and whois. Picture taken on a Saturday when they are closed.

All these other domain names now out-of-business. |

Buy Rite Electronics Inc., d.b.a. 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. |

BuyERetail Inc., d.b.a. BuyERetail.com, a.k.a. ShipDog.com 1412 Ave. M, Suite #2395 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. According to the BBB BuyERetail is 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, d.b.a. USAWholesaleClub.com (a.k.a. Network Sales of NY) is now also using this address on their site with no box number. |

EmpirePhoto.net is their domain, but is not currently in use. See Shedding Some Light for more detail. Update July 2007: The eBay store CamerasGoneWild shows item locations as Monroe, NY, but whose merchandise ships 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 is a bit strange, with missing images and out of stocks, but the action is 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. |

So I went in. This is the entrance to their space. No sign on door. Maybe they don't want me taking a picture of it, like I did at the previous address? |

Cambridge World Inc., d.b.a. 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. |

I found four intercoms at the door up the stoop to the right. Indications are business is still being conducted from 813 Bedford Ave. |

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. |

Comp-U-Photo (comp-u-photo.com), a.k.a. 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. |

Comtech Direct Inc, d.b.a. The Refurb Depot (RefurbDepot.com) 5614 New Utrecht Ave. Former address. This address is the building on the left. On the left door of that building was a plastic engraved sign with the names and address I list here. I saw a fellow walking over to the building on the right, so possibly they were using both buildings. NY entity database has this address. Web site now has 1449 37th Street. |

Crazy 4 Digital, d.b.a. 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. This address was from the ShopDigitalOnline.com and nextStepPlasma.com web sites. But is now removed. DigitalKings.com is no longer active. 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. |

DCD Marketing LLC, d.b.a. ShopCartUSA.com, DidUPrice.com, DidYouPrice.com, DigitalSaver.com, MagazineWorm.com, a.k.a. Intercept LLC, d.b.a. 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. |

Delta Marketing Corp., d.b.a. 47th Street Photo of New York (47StPhoto.com), a.k.a. 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 must have found my comment here.) They are the US distributor for Opteka.com. |

Digicell Ltd., d.b.a 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. |

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.) |

Digital Delivered, Inc., d.b.a. 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. |

Digital Delivered, Inc., d.b.a. TrustedDealer.com 673 Coney Island Avenue, Kensington Was new address for TrustedDealer.com. But now is a bicycle shop.

EmpireHT.com 481 Kings Highway This 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 finds that this address now appears on all the eStore web sites. EmpireHT.com was not working when I wrote this. 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. |

eStore of N.Y. Inc., d.b.a. PlasmaHouse.com, PlasmaWholesale.com, drprojector.com and Dr. Plasma & Pro Video (DrPlasma.com) 1845 Coney Island Avenue, Midwood Was new location.

eStore of N.Y. Inc., d.b.a. 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. |

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/). |

Esupersale, d.b.a. BestBuyDigital.com 1365 East 7th St. This is the Best Buy Digital whois database address. It was registered in May 2009. It is still the address there as the original registration was for 10 years and it has never been changed. Business may never have actually been conducted from here. A check in August 2007 finds the web site not functional and being "updated." |

Esupersale, d.b.a. OneClickDigital.com and DigitalEBuys.com 1950 Homecrest St., Homecrest This was the address in the whois database for both these domain names.

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. |

Focus Electronics, Inc., a.k.a. Studio 77, d.b.a. BuyingAdvantage.com 1305 46th St., Borough Park For awhile 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.

Razz Photo was first found at ShopCartUSA, where they are a featured merchant and started with a static 3715 reviews within a couple months of their domain registration on 10-Aug-07. For several months after this the only connection was the domain has the same zip code, the same domain registrar, the same whois cloaking, and the same IP as Best Price Cameras. Then the BBB put RazzPhoto in this family. Also see comments at ResellerRatings.com. Then Photo Dynasty became the next name for this family. The connection to Enterprise was disclosed in this blog entry. Update July 2008: They have yet another new name: ShopDigitalDirect.com. Someone posted this address for them on this page: ResellerRatings.com. 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. |

MrAccessory.com, d.b.a. 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. d.b.a. 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. Taken at an angle so the people inside wouldn't see me taking their picture. Click on web size picture to read sign at right. An older picture follows. Update: I was passing by in May 2006 and saw "For Rent 3,000 sq ft" signs on the front. A couple fellows trying to get in to clean up said they went out of business. But all of their web sites are still up, and all still show this address. 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 the newest 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, d.b.a. J and K Cameras, Inc., InfinityCameras.com, InfinitiCameras.com, InfinitiPhoto.com, BestPriceCameras.com 1938 McDonald Ave. Closeup of sign. Picture taken mid-week in November 2003. There was no awning yet, and to the left the shutters were pulled down. This sign then disappeared when a more welcoming storefront was created. See prior picture for December 2005 update with awning. |

MrAccessory, a.k.a. 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 is generally called 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, a.k.a. 86th Street Photo, Inc., d.b.a. 86th St Photo & Video, 86PhotoVideo.com 2845 86th Street, 1st Floor, Gravesend Address from PriceSCAN and MyWirelessDeal web site. No address at wisetronics site, but it has this zip code. Wisetronics 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. |

Naptronics.com 22 Grand Avenue, South Williamsburg Address on web site. Phone number reverses to here. Security guard confirmed that they were a tenant upstairs. Update Feb 2008: Web now also has a mailing address at a Post Office box in the Homecrest section of Brooklyn. That is way to the south of this location. |

Omega Merchants Inc., d.b.a. Super Digital City, SuperDigitalCity.com and nydigitalcity.com for e-mail only 1274 49th Street, Suite 146, Borough Park Found at Shopzilla. SuperDigitalCity.com registered 02/28/08, though the Omega Merchants entity was registered back in 2005. Both entity and domain registration use this address. No address on web site. Main phone number is in the exchange that this mailbox store is in. Nothing at the BBB. Nothing 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. |

Priceline Electronics, PricelineElectronics.com 711 Avenue U, Gravesend Address is on about page. The same address and phone number are also on M & V Leasing's page. On that page is "M&VLEASING GROUP LLC", but I couldn't find it in the NY entity database. Also at this address is 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. |

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 is only featuring 1WayPhoto.com and LensesNMore.com, both domains of J&V Marketing Inc. 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. |

Quality Photo, d.b.a. 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." |

RainbowTronics, Inc., d.b.a. RainbowTronics.com, a.k.a. ExpeCam.com 1554 61st St. Address from old RainbowTronics whois and Buyer's Edge. 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. A search on this address also finds Circle Advertising Distributors here. Probably another business that is just sharing the building. |

ShopOem.com, Inc., a.k.a. 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. |

ShopOem.com, Inc., a.k.a. 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? |

Simon Cells, d.b.a. SimonCells.com 1701 Utica Ave. Address back on web site. For a while they were using 5001 Ave I, which is another address for the same building. The only cameras they sell are built into cell phones. |

Sonic Cameras, d.b.a. SonicCameras.com, a.k.a. PricingDepot.com 3505 Quentin Road, Marine Park Address on web site, though it lists their town as Marine Park, when it is really in Brooklyn, albeit the Marine Park neighborhood. Domain registered 04-Dec-2007. They have no registered NY entity. Some info is now at the BBB. Some comments have been posted at ResellerRatings. Also see 5000+ undated reviews at PricingDepot.com. This is a new building. Someone is clearly here. I watched three people go in and/or out. PricingDepot.com only lists this outfit, plus full price dealers as filler. |

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. DigitalEBuys.com now forwards to TechOnDigital.com. Sites formerly used: WAWA Digital, WawaDigital.net, AccessoriesLand.com, The Camera Whiz, TheCameraWhiz.com, StargatePhoto.com. |

They are now at 83 Ave. O (see prior picture). The door to the right was the one they were using. And they were using the first floor. Now the first floor has an all glass window and is a Middle Eastern bakery. When this picture was taken the building had an ADT security system sticker on it, but nothing to identify Starlight. The ADT sticker later disappeared. In the past also d.b.a. StarlightCameras.com. See former location at 6010 20th Ave. |

888 Inc., d.b.a. 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. |

NowOnSale.com 1135 37 St. Address was from web site. Mostly appliances. No cameras. No number on building. A fellow entering the building confirmed that this was the correct address. Update Oct 2006: There is now a big banner over the door for discount rugs. I walked in. The first floor is now rugs. Probably they are up the flight of stairs. Update Feb 2008: Web site now has address in Fort Collins, CO, though the site is under construction and barely loads. |

S & P Electronics Inc., a.k.a. Park Avenue Electronics, d.b.a. 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. |
