888 Inc., dba 888 Digital, 888Digital.com
1416 East Linden Avenue, Linden, NJ 07036
This is the third location for this company. The first place was a narrow row storefront. Then they moved to a larger warehouse. Then to this enormous building. This all took place over about five years. See inside pictures following.

888 Digital inside office
1416 East Linden Avenue, Linden, NJ 07036
I had been again invited in to take inside pictures. Here is one taken from standing behind the receptionist's desk. To the left is the door to the CEO's office. To the right is the office entrance.

888 Digital inside warehouse
1416 East Linden Avenue, Linden, NJ 07036
This is just one of three warehouses. The other two are to the left of this. I presume they are divided up for fire control reasons. As you can see they are planning for even more growth!

Abe's of Maine (AbesOfMaine.com), aka Abe's Electronic Center (AbesElectronicCenter.com), CamerasAndElectronics.com, stores.ebay.com/Abes-of-Maine
5 Fernwood Ave., Edison, NJ 08837
New location. Address and building picture are on web site. Retail visitors are encouraged. For many years they had a showroom in Brooklyn. AbesElectronicCenter forwards to AbesOfMaine. CamerasAndElectronics still pretends it does business from a mailbox store, though it shares a fax with Abe's.

ASV Electronics, Ryther Camera, RytherCamera.com; formerly used: Photomania, ShopPhotomania.com, aka US1 Camera, US1Camera.com and US1Photo.com, aka PhotoLoon.com, aka PrimoCameras.com, aka Best Price Electronics, BestPriceElectronics.com
426 N. Wood Avenue, Linden, NJ 07036
RytherCamera.com has this address on site. ShopPhotomania.com from storefront, but the web site has been under construction for years. Intially the storefront phone number (908) 718-8150 had no web usage, but is now on pages like the BBB's [archive.org]. On US1Photo.com web site this address is now used for returns and NJ sales tax is collected. (US1Camera forwards to US1Photo.) As evidence that US1Photo wants to be here see their web site's showroom picture. See a side-by-side comparison of my picture and their picture here: US1Photo: Their new face... Before this Photomania was located at 1910 Hylan Blvd, Staten Island. Update 2009: PhotoLoon.com is a new site registered anonymously. Initially the only thing they revealed about their location was that they charge sales tax in New Jersey. But click on Checkout, then on the Continue button, then on Click Here (following the red "Important" note), and US1 pops up! Now this address is on the contact page. PrimoCameras.com has this address on their contact page. Best Price Electronics has a sales office in Brooklyn. They collect sales tax for both states, as they ship from here.

They moved to NJ and this address had been on their web sites. But when I eventually got here to take this picture in September 2007 I found an eviction notice on the door.

Building number 3. Their entrance is at the left of the building behind the tree. They also appear to have an entrance at the right. When getting close to see the sign behind the bush under the tree (which has DS Technologies) I was seen through the windows and fellows came out from both entrances to chase me. Now out-of-business.

Jersey Shore Digital, dba JerseyShoreDigital.com
1090 King Georges Post Rd. Suite 203, Edison, NJ 08837
Address from contact page [archive.org]. This is the former 1 Way Photo that went out of business and reappeared here in NJ. They use the same fax number, their site's SSL certificate is registered to 1 Way Photo (this shows up in the free area of Domaintools), and both domains are hosted, with no others, at the same IP. Plus, Thoughts-Of-Dave [Dead link: http://thoughts-of-dave.blogspot.com/2009/05/beware-of-jersey-shore-digital-aka.html] has written that Jersey Shore was using all of 1 Way's customer testimonials until he blogged about it, and then they removed them.
