like there is a fuji digi cam i want to buy, but when i put it into my cart it says a really low price. i look good and what do i see, its from some other online retailer. there is no info on whether or not they are a shady company, if they ship the item, or anything like that. what is amazon trying to do?

When you search for the item, is it coming through the 'Electronics' or 'Partners' heading?

I don't mind when Amazon does this, but I do mind when they are pimpin' the Circuit City site. You can always tell the merchandise is from CC - when you see it selling at full retail. Given Amazon's extensive electronics section, I don't see how they can also provide links to Circuit City - without cannibalizing their own electronic sales.

I just noticed that they are doing with it a lot more products now. Many products they used to sell themselves have now been directed to J&R and Office Depot.
