Help! Awesome deal on HDTV at butterfly photo too good to be true?

[dingo_stole_mybaby]

Hey fellow CAGs I need some help. I've been eyeballing this Samsung 52' LCD for a while and it retails for $3699 at all B+Ms, but this online operation, butterfly photo, is selling it for around $2599 with free shipping. I've heard of a store based out of New Jersey(which this one is) that has awesome deals and when people order from them, they basically harass you over the phone and try to force you into buying unneeded accessories. The online reviews vaguely mention this, but it's got so many positives(reviews) that I think it might be a common practice with online only stores. The model # is LN52A650. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I do not believe and do not trust the deal.
My guess is a typo or a fake typo ala TigerDirect (they have one in nearly every print catalog and never honor it).

Reviews are very mixed. Proceed with caution.

Agree, and most everyone who rates them good had to fight with them about something.

Caveat Emptor SUCKA.

I wouldn't, and be damned sure and not use a debit card if you do.
I feel your pain though, I am drooling over a sammy with the 500,000:1 contrast ratio and almost tried to by from a shady online retailer.

Thanks for the input. I've been reading all kinds of online reviews of this store and it still sounds like a crapshoot. I'm leaning towards buying because I really don't mind being hassled on the phone for this kind of deal. I saw that someone reported getting a used camera that was marked new. I'm going to call them and investigate myself, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience dealing with a place like this.
