InoaX.com, FotoConnection.com, ePhotoClub.com, TheWizStore.com, RiteBuys.com, 1StopCamera.com, OneStopCamera.com 1100 Coney Island Ave., Midwood The InoaX connection is completely disguised. It was found on Dealtime where their return address was in a story. The original store was in Great Neck, Long Island. See Shedding Some Light's the 1 Stop Camera family for detailed listing of the names used in this family. Also see list at the BBB. Ritebuys is now using on their website: 1421 Sheepshead Bay Rd. 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. So I waited and got this shot in that short interval the spot was free.) |

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.) |
| 252 |  |
Active Atom, a.k.a. Power Seller NYC, Inc., d.b.a. PowerSellerNYC.com, a.k.a. 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 NYS entity database has 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. |
| 41 |  |

All In One Digital USA Inc., d.b.a. AllinoneDigital.com, a.k.a. 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 time this mailbox store is pictured here.] 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., d.b.a. AllinoneDigital.com, a.k.a. HotCoolGifts.com 1543 President St., Crown Heights The local number on Hot Cool Gifts, (718) 756-9171, reverses to here.

| 103 |  |
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] |
| 102 |  |
All Time Deals Inc., d.b.a. AllTimeDeals.com 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., 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. No address in whois. #272 at this address is used for the whois registration for eDigix.com, a site not up when I checked, but when up this was also the address at the site. |
| 207 |  |
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.] |
| 168 |  |
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. |

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

| 96 |  |
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] |
| 255 |  |
B.A.W., Inc., d.b.a. Big Apple Direct, BigAppleDirect.com, Big Daddy's Electronics 7514 18th Ave. This address from their site. Their domain registrant and phone numbers lead 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). |
| 83 |  |
BrandNamez LLC, d.b.a. BrandNamez.com, a.k.a. Lormar Electronics 96 Avenue U, Gravesend Address from DealTime. Web site has an address in Manhattan where they have never been. [Picture taken on a Sunday, but a neighbor says the shutters are rarely up.] |

Broadway Family: Broadway Photo (BwayPhoto.com), A&M Photo World LLC (AMPhotoWorld.com), and Digital Liquidators (DigitalLiquidators.com) 2922 Avenue L A&M Photo World is now claiming 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. |
| 49 |  |
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. |
| 187 |  |
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. This is next door to Prestige Camera, which is also owned by A&M. [Picture taken on a Jewish holiday.] |
| 227 |  |
Broadway Family: Preferred Photo LLC, (PreferredPhoto.com and PreferedPhoto.com); also Camera Addict, LLC, CameraAddict.com 321 E. 89th St., (also 325 E. 89th St.) Remsen Village 321 is green door in the middle. Preferred uses 321. Camera Addict uses 325 as its mailing address. 337 is the door to the right. (You'll need to scroll over to see the right.) |
| 180 |  |
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. |
| 202 |  |
Broadway Family: Preferred Photo LLC, d.b.a. PreferredPhoto.com and PreferedPhoto.com 5014 16th Ave, Suite 233 This address from NY State corporate entity database for Preferred Photo. No address at whois. No reverse lookup. Google on phone numbers finds no other usage. ShopCartUSA has: 1 Preferred Photo Way, Brooklyn, New York 11207, but address is phony. This is another name for A&M Photo. [Picture taken on a Sunday.] |
| 99 |  |
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. |
| 69 |  |
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. See next picture for actual BuyRite location. #114 at this address was used in the past by Ideal Photo And Video (IdealPhotoAndVideo.com), a.k.a. Best Discount Camera, a.k.a. The Digital Store. All these other domain names now out-of-business. |
| 70 |  |
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. |
| 144 |  |
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. |
| 229 |  |
Buyphotosound Inc., d.b.a. www.BuyPhotoSound.com 2478 McDonald Ave. Address from whois. Web site under construction. Powerzone Accessories is a wholesale membership site specializing in cellular phone accessories. |

Suite number and pictured building confirmed by security guard. Don't miss the pictures following. They also use 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 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 |
| 243 |  |
C&A Marketing Inc., d.b.a Barclays Photo, BarclaysPhoto.com, Digial Goodys, DigitalGoodys.com, Cameras Gone Wild, CamerasGoneWild.com, D B Roth, dbrothonline.com, dbroth.com; formerly Price Rite Photo, PriceRitePhoto.com, The Camera Mall, TheCameraMall.com, Empire Photo, EmpirePhoto.com Brooklyn Army Terminal 140 58th Street, Suite 3M, Sunset Park I learned that if on a bicycle one can enter without stopping at the security booth. 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? |
| 244 |  |

Don't miss the butts stuck into the holes in the wall! |
| 134 |  |
C&A Marketing Inc., d.b.a. PriceRitePhoto.com [no longer used], TheCameraMall.com and BarclaysPhoto.com 254 36th Street, Suite 202, Sunset Park Former location. C&A moved to the address in 2003, and left it at the end of 2005. Also see door closeup following. For the back side of the building see the NY Times picture. Also see the article: In a Flash, Camera Dealers Feel the Web's Wrath. C&A Marketing left this location after the Thomas Hawk barrage and returned to 140 58th Street, where he had been from 1998 to the end of 2001 (or beginning of 2002), but to a different building. |
| 136 |  |

NY entity database states that they are in suite 2B, but while this was the second floor no suite number was present. |
| 130 |  |
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. |
| 76 |  |
Camera For Less, d.b.a. 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. No address at the web site. Update: Reverse lookup is still at this location, but name is now "Lespons, Cameras For." There is a new second location at 190 Franklin Avenue. The whois registration for UsedCamerasForLess.com is also at this address, but the website was only active from July 2004 to February 2005. |
| 196 |  |
Camera For Less, d.b.a. 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. |

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. |
| 164 |  |
Camera Unlimited LLC, d.b.a. CameraUnlimited.com 3409 Avenue S, Marine Park The gas company is looking for them. |

| 222 |  |
Certified Digital, www.CertifiedDigital.com 1414 Avenue P, Suite 300 Address, without suite number, was at web site. Now removed. Address in whois includes suite number. Phone number at site reverses to this address. Click on web size image to read signs out front. Maybe Suite 300 is the third floor? |
| 11 |  |
Clearance MegaStore, ClearanceMegaStore.com 1511 East 9th St. Domain registered in March 2007. (They also registered the .net domain.) No address on whois or web site. Address found at BizRate. |
| 232 |  |
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. |

Computer Software Plus, Inc., d.b.a. ComputerSoftwarePlus.com 1722 Kings Highway Address at web site. |
| 84 |  |
Comtech Direct Inc, d.b.a. The Refurb Depot (RefurbDepot.com) 1449 37th Street New address for them. Found on their web site. |
| 82 |  |
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. |
| 256 |  |
CoreMega Enterprises Inc, d.b.a. MegaCameras.com, a.k.a. www.goIpods.com and www.GPSBlowout.com 2023 Stillwell Ave. #1 Address was from web sites and whois. Now removed from web sites and domain names are cloaked. Though the BBB and the NY entity database still have them here. |
| 257 |  |
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. |
| 193 |  |
Crazy 4 Digital (Crazy4Digital.com), a.k.a. Digital Kings, DigitalKings.com, World Class Plasma (WorldClassPlasma.com, WorldClassPlasmas.com), Best Stop Plasma, (BestStopPlasma.com), Next Step Plasma, (NextStepPlasma.com), Tech Pro Warranty (TechProWarranty.com), and I&R Management, Inc. 105 Avenue U, Gravesend Prior location. Now at 225 34th St. Digital Kings web site had address. Crazy4Digital.com address from PriceSCAN. World Class Plasma address from BBB. BestStopPlasma.com is contact in WorldClassPlasma.com whois. Corporate entity is probably I&R. It is connected to this address by the BBB and AllPages.com. The NY entity database has I&R at a lawyer's office at 45 John St, NYC. The paper sign on the door had: WE ARE NO LONGER AN INTERNET CAFE Sorry for the inconvenience WE DON'T WANT TO BUY! DO NOT ENTER! NO, TOYS, DVDS, INSURANCE, NOTHING Now a furniture store. |
| 159 |  |
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. |
| 85 |  |
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. |
| 173 |  |
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. |
| 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.) |
| 195 |  |
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. |
| 233 |  |
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. TrustedDealer is now at 771-773 Coney Island Ave. Many dealers have operated from this address. TrustedDealer was operating from upstairs, and people were there when I took this picture. |
| 215 |  |
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. |
| 147 |  |
Duddy's Electronics, a.k.a. Appliance Hut, d.b.a. ApplianceHut.com 4415 14th Avenue, Borough Park Address at web site. |

| 263 |  |
eStore of N.Y. Inc., d.b.a. PlasmaHouse.com, PlasmaWholesale.com, Dr. Plasma & Pro Video (DrPlasma.com), a.k.a. Empire Home Theater, d.b.a. 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. |
| 114 |  |
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. 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., 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. |
| 19 |  |
Esupersale, d.b.a. Circuit Digital (CircuitDigital.com), OneClickDigital.com, SourceForDigital.com, DigitalEBuys.com, Digital Fuze, DigitalFuze.com, G&S Timepieces, Top Dog Distribution, DigitalSupportDepartment.com 7012 20th Ave., Borough Park Behind the cardboard there were lights on and people at desks. eSupersale.com domain name is now for sale for an asking price of $50,000. 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/). |
| 142 |  |
Esupersale, d.b.a. 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. |
| 234 |  |
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." |
| 235 |  |
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. 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. |
| 203 |  |
EveryPrice.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." Generally only Brooklyn dealers are listed. No address now at the site. From Nov 2002 to Aug 2003 this was the address at the site. See: Archive.org. Whois has 5422 18th Ave, a residence. |
| 209 |  |
Exclusive Merchandise Co. EMC Inc., d.b.a. DealsAholic.com 1445 55th St. Address from web site. EMC=Exclusive Merchandise Co. If you like your name, why not use it twice? |
| 249 |  |
FCI Tech NY Inc., d.b.a. FCITech.com 417 Flushing Avenue, South Williamsburg Address was on web site. Now the site has a phony address in Brooklyn. Whois is cloaked. Fax number has 609 area code, which is South New Jersey. The building is a condo built in 2004. The address in the NY entity database is 717 Bedford Avenue #1, also a large apartment building and just around the corner. The text on their aboutus page exactly matches the text on SuperDigitalCity.com's aboutus page. |
| 53 |  |
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. |
| 21 |  |
Focus Camera Former Location (FocusCamera.com) 4419-21 13th Ave., Borough Park One of my bicycles makes a cameo appearance. Picture taken July 2001. |
| 22 |  |
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, a.k.a. 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, a.k.a. 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 they use 905 McDonald Ave. which is their actual location. |
| 177 |  |
Focus Electronics, Inc., d.b.a. Focus Computers & Electronics and FocusUSA.com 4509 13th Ave., Borough Park Current location. Based on phone numbers and contacts Focus is also using Studio 77, d.b.a. BuyingAdvantage.com. Update: FocusUSA.com web site undergoing overhaul, but they are very much still in business here. |
| 176 |  |
Focus Electronics, Inc., old location 1305 46th St., Borough Park Sign telling of new location. This is around the corner on 13th Ave. The same building as Studio 77. Update 2008: Sign is now gone. |
| 174 |  |
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. So it appears that this location is still being used, possibly only for Focus Electronics. |
| 258 |  |
FreeTradePhoto.com, www.FTPVideo.net 5520 15th Ave., Suite 2F Address from FTPVideo's site. Sites share 800 number. Both whois records now use 1864 48th Street, which is a house. |

| 25 |  |
Harmony Video & Electronics, Inc., d.b.a. Harmony Computer (HarmonyComputers.com) and 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! |
| 200 |  |
HotBuys Electronics, Inc., d.b.a. HotBuysElectronics.com, a.k.a. Taaffe Photo (TaaffePhoto.com) 125 Taaffe Pl., South Williamsburg No address on Taaffe Photo site, but it 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. |

| 133 |  |
HotBuys Electronics, Inc., d.b.a. HotBuysElectronics.com 125 Taaffe Pl., South Williamsburg This sign wasn't up the first time I took pictures. This door is the one at far left in picture above. |
| 43 |  |
Hot Buys Electronics, Inc. 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. |
| 44 |  |
Hot Buys Electronics, Inc. Close up of sign on door. (The Hebrew translates to: Every day the afternoon prayer is at precisely 2:00 PM.) |

Hot Buys address used for returns in 2002 12 Boerum St. Back entrance to 545 Broadway. Sign now has something to do with girls. |
| 181 |  |
ID-Tech Solutions, Inc., a.k.a. Compu Solutions, DigiCombos.com, SL NetCom, DigitalKazoo.com 54 Pearl St., Dumbo Address from DigiCombos.com home page. The other names, except Digital Kazoo, from a paper sign inside the entrance. They are 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. NY Entity database has 1521 41st St in Brooklyn (a rowhouse in Borough Park) and an address in Lakewood, NJ. DigitalKazoo.com's whois has ID-Tech Solutions 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. |
| 150 |  |
ID-Tech Solutions, Inc., d.b.a. 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. |
| 28 |  |
J & L Photo Supply Corp., d.b.a. DigiExpo.com 820 E. 42nd St. Address from web site and NY entity database. Sign points to the door in the next picture. |
| 29 |  |
J & L Photo Supply Corp., d.b.a. DigiExpo.com 820 E. 42nd St. Clearly no longer being used as an entrance! Note J&L on the sign. It also states to go around the corner. This and the prior picture from August 2001. |
| 30 |  |

Entity database has 5409 address. The 5407 number appeared at one time on ShopCartUSA and would be the wider red door. The white one at the far left is labeled 5405. Lenses N' More has this address in their whois. |
| 239 |  |
L and T Electronics, d.b.a. 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). |
| 179 |  |
LandMark Distributors, Inc., d.b.a. BestSalePrices.com and SourceOneAudio.com 4022 Ave U, Marine Park Address was on both web sites. SourceOneAudio.com is now at 2815 Nostrand Ave. |

Address for Best Price Cameras found in a resellerratings.com comment. For prior locations see pictures following. 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. |

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. |
| 77 |  |
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. |
| 75 |  |
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. |
| 155 |  |
Online Electronics Liquidation, d.b.a. 1oel.com 2116 E. 21st St. Address from web site. |
| 220 |  |
Orion Gadgets, OrionGadgets.com 2444 West 2nd St, 1st Floor, Gravesend Address on web site. They specialize in PDA, music players and portable games accessories. An impressive job of cataloging all the models and which accessories go with which. |
| 67 |  |
Photo 4 Less, Inc., d.b.a. Sigma 4 Less (Sigma4Less.com), a.k.a. Sigma For Less (SigmaForLess.com) 5417 New Utrecht Ave., Borough Park Address from web site. (They have no connection with the defunct World Photo Online, which used this address in the past. They purchased the building, and not the company it contained.) |
| 171 |  |
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. |
| 156 |  |
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. |
| 120 |  |
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." |
| 224 |  |
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. |
| 92 |  |
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. |
| 64 |  |
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? |
| 122 |  |
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. |
| 204 |  |
SimonCells.Com and bacario.com 5001 Ave I, Flatlands This is the address on the bacario web site. For a period SimonCells was also using it. This is the side of 1701 Utica Avenue. There is no door on this side, just this sign telling you to go to Utica Ave address/entrance. |
| 117 |  |
Snap-it Digital, LLC, d.b.a. SnapItDigital.com 390 Marcy Ave., South Williamsburg Address from reverse lookup on the 718-302-0363 number currently on the site. Web site has the address of a mailbox store at nearby 199 Lee Ave, #469. NY entity database has 252 Wallabout St, Suite 7-A, an apartment building. |
| 175 |  |
Software for Less Corporation, d.b.a. SoftwareForLess.com 1060 East 26th Street, Midwood New address on web site and NY entity database. |
| 205 |  |
Software for Less Corporation, d.b.a. SoftwareForLess.com 333 Avenue X, Floor 2, Gravesend Address was at web site. This building (larger than pictured here) used to be the SSA building. Inside I found Software For Less on one of the mailboxes. NY entity database had 1301 Coney Island Avenue, a location they moved away from a couple years before. Web site and entity database now have 1060 East 26th St. |
| 5 |  |
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. |
| 95 |  |
Speed & Sound Electronics Corp., d.b.a. SpeedSound.com 6305 Avenue N, Flatlands Address from web site. |
| 253 |  |
Starlight Camera & Video, Inc., d.b.a. Tech On Digital, TechOnDigital.com, The Digital Expo, TheDigitalExpo.com, Digital Superdeals, DigitalSuperdeals.com, The Digital Nerds, TheDigitalNerds.com, DigitalEBuys.com 83 Ave. O, Bensonhurst New 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. This address from BBB and NY Daily News article. Various web pages connect The Digital Expo to this address. 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. DigitalEBuys.com now forwards to TechOnDigital.com. Sites formerly used: WAWA Digital, WawaDigital.net, AccessoriesLand.com, The Camera Whiz, TheCameraWhiz.com, StargatePhoto.com. |
| 62 |  |
Starlight Camera & Video, Inc., d.b.a. WAWA Digital, WawaDigital.net, AccessoriesLand.com, StargatePhoto.com and The Camera Whiz (TheCameraWhiz.com) 295 Ave. O This is their prior location. 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. |
| 125 |  |
Stop 4 Camera Inc, d.b.a Stop4Camera.com, LeoBarnet.com 1809 Coney Island Ave., Midwood This is the address on their web site and the registered office in the NY entity database. In the past they used Howdy Camera, HowdyCamera.com, but now no longer active. |
| 126 |  |
Stop 4 Camera Inc, d.b.a Stop4Camera.com 4303 12th Ave., Borough Park Picture taken December 2004. Address from old whois and old BBB. Probably this was a prior location. Web site has 1809 Coney Island Ave. These seem to be same people as www.XeStore.us, which is now out of business. XeStore's fax was: 718-836-1344 |
| 170 |  |
Sunshine Electronics, d.b.a. Shop Sunshine, ShopSunshine.com 1273 Coney Island Ave, Midwood New location for them. Address on web site. |
| 94 |  |
Sunshine Electronics, d.b.a. Shop Sunshine, ShopSunshine.com 1172 Coney Island Ave., Midwood This was a large store. Their web site had a rendering of this storefront and walk-ins were welcomed. They have since moved to 1273 Coney Island Ave. This building has been chopped into three storefronts. |
| 106 |  |
Supreme Video, d.b.a Etronics.com. Brooklyn warehouse 216 Maspeth Ave., Bushwick Building entrance with that address. |
| 107 |  |
Supreme Video, d.b.a Etronics.com. Brooklyn warehouse 216 Maspeth Ave., Bushwick Entire building. This is a huge building. An office type entrance is on another side. It had no street number. I didn't get a picture. And 1 Rewe Street is another corner of the building. See next picture for that side. |
| 131 |  |
Fesco Distributors Inc. 1 Rewe Street, Bushwick This is the other side of the building at 216 Maspeth Ave. |

Value Plasma, ValuePlasma.com 3502 Flatlands Avenue, Marine Park New and actual location for this dealer. Web site still calls the UPS store their prime location. Address found on this Buyer's Edge page. They moved here sometime in the Summer 2007. See original location two pictures following. |

Value Plasma, ValuePlasma.com 2152 Ralph Ave, Suite 458 Web site calls this their prime location. |
| 260 |  |
Value Plasma, ValuePlasma.com 1552 East 27th St. Original location. (Web site opened for business in January 2007.) This address had been at PriceRunner. The web site calls 2152 Ralph Ave, Suite 458, Brooklyn, NY, their prime location, except it is a UPS store. Sometime in the summer of 2007 they moved from here to 3502 Flatlands Ave. |
| 221 |  |
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. Nothing posted at ResellerRatings.com |

| 206 |  |
Y&B Sales & Distributors, a.k.a. Zalmar International, d.b.a. 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), d.b.a. Digital Distributors (DigitalDistributors.com), a.k.a. 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 now has 129 31st Street, which is an address they haven't used in years. This 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. |
| 65 |  |
Zalmen Reiss And Associates Inc. (ZReiss.com), d.b.a. Digital Distributors (DigitalDistributors.com), a.k.a. Digital Etc., d.b.a DigitalEtc.com 171 47 St. Sign inside front door. They are also distributors for other camera dealers. |
| 14 |  |
Zalmen Reiss And Associates Inc. (ZReiss.com), d.b.a. Digital Distributors (DigitalDistributors.com), a.k.a. Digital Etc. (DigitalEtc.com) 150 20th St. This is an old address that still appears as a second address in the BBB records. I'm sure it is no longer being used. |
| Moved Away (Mostly to New Jersey) | ||
| 78 |  |
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. |
| 1 |  |
888 Inc., d.b.a. 888 Digital, 888Digital.com First location 673 Coney Island Ave. Choice One Digital moved here after 888. Choice One Digital then morphed into Blue Switch Digital (see 80). 888 Digital moved to 3674 Nostrand Ave. See prior picture. |

| 51 |  |
Abe's of Maine, d.b.a. Cameras and Electronics, CamerasAndElectronics.com 1204 Ave. U, Suite #1275 (from web site, BBB, and whois) Fax number is same as Abe's of Maine! See picture 2. iBuyDig.com once used this address (with Suite 1096) per ShopCartUSA. iBuyDig.com morphed into TurboBuys.com and TurboBuys.com uses this address with Sweet [sic] 1096. One of MayFairDigital.com's whois addresses is here. Another is NextPlace, Inc in Stamford CT. CellCrew.com's NY entity uses Suite 1334 at this place. |
| 81 |  |
Accoona Corp., d.b.a. ButterflyPhoto.com, a.k.a. 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. |
| 98 |  |
Accoona Corp., d.b.a. ButterflyPhoto.com, a.k.a. BuyDigitalDirect.com and DigitalETailer.com 1625 Gravesend Neck Rd. Former location. I returned a week later to get an outside picture of the place.

| 16 |  |
Accoona Corp., formerly DOD Marketing Inc., d.b.a. Digital E-Tailer (DigitaleTailer.com) and DealsOnDigital.com 902 Ave. U After they were bought by Accoona they left this location and moved to 1625 Gravesend Neck Rd. A jewelry store moved into this store. They have now moved to South Plainfield, NJ. |
| 123 |  |
Accoona Corp., SkyNet Communications, d.b.a. BestBuyPlasma.com (or .info), LizMadison.com, Skynet22.com, lcdtvs.com, BestPlasma.com, PlasmaBAY.com, and NYLiving.com 481 Kings Highway, Bensonhurst Former location. 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. See next picture for prior location. 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. |
| 124 |  |
Accoona Corp., SkyNet Communications, d.b.a. BestBuyPlasma.com 6400 18th Avenue Former location, but I found the address on cnet. |
| 254 |  |
AgA Electronics Inc., d.b.a. US1 Camera, US1Camera.com and PCandPlasma.com 90 Quentin Rd. Was a new address from US1Camera.com site. Now US1Camera has 426 N. Wood Avenue, Linden, NJ for showroom. |
| 48 |  |
AgA Electronics Inc., d.b.a. 5StarsElectronics.com, BestSalePrices.com, US1Camera.com and PCandPlasma.com 122 Ave. T Former location. Now at 90 Quentin Rd. Address was at US1Camera.com's web site. Address was in 5StarsSlectronics' whois. This is the address that was formerly Landmark Distributors, which d.b.a. 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., d.b.a. PCandPlasma.com 1915 E. 8th St. Address from web site, pricescan, and cnet. No address in whois. 718 fax number used to be us1digital.com's. 212 fax number also belongs to us1camera.com. Actual business appears to be taking place at 122 Ave. T. This domain name is no longer active. Whois now has the address 90 Quentin Road. US1Camera forwards to US1Photo.com, but pages have US1Camera. |
| 90 |  |
B&Y Distributors Inc., d.b.a. 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) now have them in Dania, Florida. 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. |
| 20 |  |
Express Cameras (ExpressCameras.com), a.k.a. Photo King (ShopPhotoKing.com), a.k.a. Jack's Express Photo 259 Ave U, Gravesend Despite the shutters being down they were open when I took this picture. Their web site and whois now say they are in Edison, NJ. At this location is now a photography studio. |
| 154 |  |
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. |
| 248 |  |
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.
