Now they use 905 McDonald Ave. which is their actual location. |

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? |

Ideal Photo and Video Inc., d.b.a. IdealPhotoAndVideo.com 1499 Coney Island Ave. Address from e-mail. Now out of business. NYS entity database has them at 1051 Dahill Road. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 79 |  |
Ace Photo & Digital Co., d.b.a. AcePhotoDigital.com 1136 59th St. This is the address found in the whois record and had been at the BBB web site. Now the BBB are, and the web page returns address was, using 1303 53rd St, Box 400, which is a mail box store that also appears here for another dealer under and 52. Now returns are being directed to PO Box 189003, Brooklyn, NY 11218. |
| 80 |  |
Blue Switch Digital Inc., d.b.a. BlueSwitchDigital.com, a.k.a Blue Web Digital (BlueWebDigital.com) 673 Coney Island Ave. At one time this was 888 Digital's location. See 1. Then this had two awnings for Choice One Digital. I passed by often, but never got around to taking a picture. Then the awnings were gone. The ChoiceOneDigital.com site is no longer active and the Choice One Digital Inc. corporate entity is inactive. A little research found the place became Blue Switch Digital. Their domain name was registered on 02-Apr-2004, a short time after the choiceonedigital.com site went shut down. (Defunct DNS on choiceonedigital.com is BLUESWITCH.NET.) Around October 2005 Blue Switch went out of business. Brooklyn Bicycles has moved into the space. Their domain names now redirect to devix.com, a web solutions firm. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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.] |
| 84 |  |
Comtech Direct Inc, d.b.a. The Refurb Depot (RefurbDepot.com) 1449 37th Street New address for them. Found on their web site. |
| 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. |
| 86 |  |
Value Plasma, ValuePlasma.com 2152 Ralph Ave, Suite 458 Web site calls this their prime location. |
| 87 |  |
Starlight Camera & Video, Inc., d.b.a. INS Digital World, a.k.a. Starlight Cameras and AccessoriesLand.com 6010 20th Ave. Former address. There was a For Rent sign flapping in the breeze when the picture was taken in Sept 2004. Their next location was 295 Ave O. INSDigitalWorld.com domain is now a search page. AccessoriesLand.com was active for a while after this, but no longer is. |
| 88 |  |
J&S Enterprises, d.b.a Digitally Discovered (DigitallyDiscovered.com), DigiCam Returns, My Digital Palace (MyDigitalPalace.com), Super Pix Digital (SuperPixDigital.com), Digital Fuze, and Memory-Upgrades.net 1051 Dahill Rd. This is the address used in the whois record for digitallydiscovered.com and digicamreturns.com. No BBB record, and no address at web site. To the left was a store that installed car stereo systems. There was a For Rent sign on the building. A visit on 30-Apr-06 found the sign gone and some men working. They said someone took the place and is moving in. And that a new sign would be going up in front. Update August 2006: No new sign. Activity looks like the marble place next door is now using this as their office. Value Imaging Products Inc. is still an active entity at this address. No longer in business. This address is the address in the NYS entity database for Ideal Photo and Video Inc. A resellerratings comment put Digital Fuze at this address. |
| 89 |  |
LandMark Distributors, Inc., d.b.a. BestSalePrices.com 2025 Avenue U Address was at PriceSCAN and at web site. Now 2025 is the store to the right (In Style). But it doesn't look like a web dealer! So I included the store at 2021. Maybe that's the real location? On a later trip I asked people working at 2021 if they were LandMark. They did not know. They said they just worked there. The upstairs to 2025 had no indication of business activity. Address at web site has now been changed to 4022 Ave U. PriceSCAN no longer lists this dealer. |
| 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. |
| 91 |  |
Refurbished 4 Less Inc., d.b.a. Refurbished4LESS.com 504 East 3rd St. This is the address the web site used to have for returns and contact. Now removed from contact and policies pages. This is the address that the BBB had. NY entity database has a post office box in Monsey, NY. Whois now has a fellow's name and 5225 14th Ave. Suite C5, which is a large apartment building. Now out of business. |
| 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. |
| 93 |  |
Tactum Corp, d.b.a. bajangles.com 416 Stanley Ave. (between Canarsie and East New York) Address from web site and NY entity database. Local phone number on web page reverses to Tactum Corp. They formerly were at 295 Stanley Ave, which is a building similar to this. Web site is now dead and 800 number is disconnected. |
| 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. |
| 95 |  |
Speed & Sound Electronics Corp., d.b.a. SpeedSound.com 6305 Avenue N, Flatlands Address from web site. |
| 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. |
| 97 |  |
1 Stop Camera Family, d.b.a. Great Brands Shopping (GBShopping.com), TVsDepot.com, Ritebuys.com 1421 Sheepshead Bay Road, Suite #220 GBShopping and TVsDepot had been using 902 Kings Highway Suite #153, but that UPS Store closed. Ritebuys had been using 1100 Coney Island Avenue. This UPS store with #145 was used by Avalon Gadgets (AvalonGadgets.com) back in 2004. Found in comment at Epinions.com. Avalon's actual Brooklyn location is 6512 20th Avenue. |
| 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. Butterflyphoto has moved to 1764A New Durham Rd, South Plainfield, NJ. BuyDigitalDirect.com is no longer in use. |
| 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. |
| 100 |  |
Digital Depot Inc., d.b.a. ePlusShopper.com, stores.ebay.com/PopularPhotos, Solutions4Digital.com, good-bid.com, and DigitalEShop.com 1615 East 35 Street Address from whois, and the BBB by searching for the phone number found at ePlusShopper.com. Other dba's use same 800 number. At this address had been solutions4digital.com, but that site was only active from May 2002 to March 2003. The now expired and never used domain name DealsOnCell.com may have been theirs. |
| 101 |  |
Radio Active Deals Ltd. (Radio Active Electronics, RadioactiveDeals.com), a.k.a. USA Photo Nation Inc. (USAPhotoNation.com) 164-15 Jamaica Ave., Jamaica, NY (not too far from Brooklyn) USA PhotoNation.com had no address on their site or whois, but the phone number on their site reversed to this address. And the fax number on USAPhotoNation.com was the same as RadioActiveDeals.com. Then USAPhotoNation.com had a fax number in Idado (after I put this up). Picture taken on 12/12/04, so lots of Christmas shoppers out. NY entity database lists 45 John St, Suite 711, NY, NY for both these corporations. (An office building.) These domain names no longer in use, and this location has become a Foot Locker store. Operations still exist for a couple other domain names at 1554 61st St. |
| 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.

| 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] |

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. |
| 143 |  |

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. |
| 145 |  |

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. |
| 151 |  |
J&S, d.b.a. SaveOnDig (saveondig.com), MyDigitalPalace.com, and digicamreturns.com 1709 65th St. Address from entry in resellerratings.com. This address used to be cameratopia.com (which now redirects to A&M Photo World). J&S used to be at 1051 Dahill Road, which still appears in the whois records. However, on my last visit I found another business has moved into this space. No longer in business. |

| 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. |
| 155 |  |
Online Electronics Liquidation, d.b.a. 1oel.com 2116 E. 21st St. Address from web site. |
| 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. |

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

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. |
| 160 |  |
The Buzz Electronics, d.b.a. TheBuzzElectronics.com 1402 Coney Island Ave., Midwood Web site has store front picture and walk-ins are obviously welcome. |
| 161 |  |
Ynot2k LLC, aka Tech Spot, d.b.a. Ynot2k.com, Geared2Play.com and btotech.com 4422 Ave. N Address was from web sites. All sites now have the address Tech Spot, 24 Ruby Lane, Plainview, NY and states by appointment only. This is an office on Long Island. Maintaining a physical storefront was a financial burden when one primarily sells over the web. |
| 162 |  |
Barnabeez.com 1312 44th St., Suite 205/210 Now out of business. They were also using DiscoCam.com, iWonDigital.com, SuperPixDigital.com, MonsterAudioAndVideo.com, DiscoveryCameras.com and Best Discount Camera. All sites now down or go to link pages. In 2003-2004 Digitally Discovered (DigitallyDiscovered.com) (a.k.a. CapturePix.com) was also using this address. Both names now used by DigiCamReturns.com, which is associated with Barnabeez. SuperPixDigital was using support@digitallydiscovered.com. |
| 163 |  |
Camera Unlimited LLC, d.b.a. CameraUnlimited.com 3409 Avenue S, Marine Park This is a mail box store that is now out of business. However, their 718 number reverses to this address. And this address was still on their web site after it closed. The piece of paper on the right shutter is enlarged in the next picture. CameraUnlimited.com domain name has expired. Only PhotoSweep site is now active, and it still has this address buried in the text on the About us help page. Possibly an oversight, as the PhotoSweep contact page has the 1569 E. 8th St address. |
| 164 |  |
Camera Unlimited LLC, d.b.a. CameraUnlimited.com 3409 Avenue S, Marine Park The gas company is looking for them. |

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. |
| 169 |  |
ATK Digital World Inc., d.b.a. Log2Shop.com 1002 Quentin Rd, Suite 3001 From whois, reverse lookup on phone number and corporate entity database. No address at web site.

(Names on the mailbox had been Avi Kodosh, Tal Tsadik, ATK Digital World, Log2Shop.) In a 2003 RipOffReport.com they used 1057 E. 2nd Street, which is a detached Victorian one-family frame house. |
| 170 |  |
Sunshine Electronics, d.b.a. Shop Sunshine, ShopSunshine.com 1273 Coney Island Ave, Midwood New location for them. Address on web site. |
| 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. |

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] |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 175 |  |
Software for Less Corporation, d.b.a. SoftwareForLess.com 1060 East 26th Street, Midwood New address on web site and NY entity database. |

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.

The judge agreed. |

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.

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).
