How would you compare it against http://www.amazon.com/CIA-Collection-...

The quality is very good with the measurements (i.e. 1/2, 1/4, etc) embossed on the handle. Kitchenaide makes a set that are just like the Bellemain set except there are half measurements embossed on the side. The CIA set you linked appear to have inked on measurements which if true would wear off over time.

they're two very different technologies, it's not rightly fair to compare them. honestly, what i tell everyone is to go to a couple stores and *look* at the sets you're interested in.

Not sure I would know the difference. What I did get was effective so I did not question it. I do know that if I had any question about it that Amazon would handle appropriately. They have never let us down and we have been Prime since inception.

Harry is completely right, you can read around on some reviews and some swear by one over the other but you can't really go wrong. My opinion, splurge on the RF.

No idea. I wonder also when I browse and read reviews. I only take those with "verified amazon purchase" reviews seriously. Not much I am aware of unless others can chip in.

While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real. These knives were very expensive when first released. For this reason and possibly others such as a recovering economy, poor marketing strategy, or who knows why, they obviously didn't sell very well. What I do know for sure is that my knife is the real deal. And it was bought recently from this Amazon site. Once again, this is one awesome knife. Your're not going to find this knife for some ridiculously low price. And if you do it will be fake. Like the ones for $55.55 on some Chinese site with over 5,000 in stock. If it sounds to good to be true, well you know the rest.

Since I want to collect the entire series, this looks like a good excuse to pick it up. I'll try and get it this weekend and check it out. I'll let you know what I find out.

The price on Amazon.com looks pretty good, but check out shopsunshine.com as well.

More than likely it is but for some reason its more money. I would go with the one I bought. Sometimes the same item can be sold by different people on amazon with different prices.

Hi Ajay, I am not knowledgeable about the best bits for that. I usually do a search on Amazon and then look at the selections that have the highest ratings as a pretty good guide. Good luck, Alfredo

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0059UGT1K/ref=pd_aw_sbs_e_1?pi=SL500_SS115This one seems to be the best reviewed one here. This is where my money would go.

I would start by checking the sellers satisfaction rating and reviews. Fakes or bootlegs are almost always much much cheaper than the real thing. That is a big red flag. I'd say this probably isn't a bootleg. This figure in particular is new enough and unpopular enough that I would be surprised if there are fakes made already. Amazon should talks care of you if the seller misleads you. For me, if the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I'm about to buy this and need that question answered too. If I get it before someone knowledgeable replies, I'll advise what I learn. Considering how awful my buying experience was here at Amazon using a Metabank gift card, I'm hesitant. But, I need to use up the gift card funds, so, here goes a second try. Think I'll email the vendor first, just in case.

Although this thread is about cameras, I found it on a gooogle search of "Amazon versus buy.com". In my experience (mainly on books) I much prefer the Amazon website because of the reviews and good interface. But buy.com tends to be a bit cheaper. Generally a dollar or so for a typical $15 book. But where buy.com is much better (and why I tend to order from them) is the shipping. If you go for Amazon's free shipping, they seem to always sit on the shipment for a week before sending it out. Buy.com, although they say free shipping will take longer, it seems my packages always get shipped within a couple of days.

Just checked the Amazon reviews. If you look at the most recent you will get a taste of why not to buy.

If the info of product is the same as on Amazon, I would say purchase it if it is cheaper.

I am not sure - I bought it off of the Amazon site - I have always been happy with my purchases there - so i just went for it - I admit I did not look at all of the reviews - until after the fact - a lesson well learned.
