All the products that I carry are purchased legitimately from either Nikon HK or Nikon Singapore sources. They are not reconditioned units and are all brand new, fresh, unopened boxes. In all the years that I have been selling Nikons (for fun) I have not received even 1 complaint or claim that my units are reconditioned.

However, I do sell a lot of certified, pre-owned units and these are clearly stated and declared to would-be buyers.

Lastly, it is indeed CDSC’s policy to charge double the price for units that weren’t sourced from CDSC. But then again, that’s only if you need repairs. So if you don’t need repairs, then there’s no point scaring everyone with the 100% surcharge policy.

If you are concerned about repairs after the warranty period, then do buy from CDSC.

Lastly, I have been shooting Nikons since I was 12 and I have extreme faith in the company and it’s manufacturing excellence. Remember, I sell for fun and I don’t care about the small profit that I make. As such, if the units are reconditioned, problematic, or gives me tons of problems then that will spoil the fun and I would rather stop selling immediately.

My only mission is to encourage people to shoot with a Nikon. And I have owned and used all the Nikon models from FM2, F50, F100, F5, F6, D1x, D100, D70, D200, D80, D40, D40x, D60, D300, D700, and the D3 and a lot of them were purchased pre-owned and I have yet to regret my purchases.

In the end, photography is a hobby so please don’t spoil the fun. Likewise, do not believe everyting you read on the Internet - including my post.

Keep shooting with a Nikon! Or any camera - I don’t care.

So I recommend that you should purchase your Nikon products with warranty from our authorized Nikon dealer
So you will be FREE of 100% Lifetime premium charge against Gray or Smuggled Nikon products in the Philippines.
This means that if have purchased a Gray or Smuggled Nikon products from a non Authorized Nikon dealer, you will be charge of 100% premium fee every time your camera is damage(example: you have purchased a Gray or Smuggled Nikon Camera or Accessories from non-Authorized Nikon reseller in the Philippines then the flash of your camera or the accessories was damage due improper shipment or did not pass the Nikon Quality control or maybe the unit is a recondition unit, you will bring your unit to Nikon authorized service center and when the service center check or diagnose your unit for damage, the estimated cost to repair your Nikon camera flash will or accessories will cost 3,000pesos it will be double to 6,000 pesos because your unit is a Gray or Smuggled product that was not purchased on Nikon Authorized Dealer or retailer. BEWARE OF STORE warranty Columbia Digital Sales company will not honor Store Warranty and it will not be priority for repair.
So i recommend that you should purchase your unit at Nikon authorized distributor and in your area, don’t let the horrible incident happen to your UNIT.

I will include Jerry’s site in referring my friends/readers when asked for Nikon retailer.
