I don't know the answer to that, but its the kind of rude and 
condescending behavior I've come to expect from certain posters.

The key here (even though they say *any* reason) is that they're 
assuming you are at least *capable* of buying it. If you were to tell 
them "Hey, I'm taking the camera, but I can't afford to buy it" and 
they still want you to take it, then you have a legitimate deal. Some 
merchants might actually do this - like a car salesman, for example. 
They want to get the item in your hand, figuring that the experience 
will outweigh your better judgment. The opposite end of the spectrum 
would be one-shot items, like a prom dress. Once you buy that puppy, 
its yours no matter what. The camera is probably somewhere in the 
middle.

I can do one of each.
