I agree and I am glad I picked up my D300 last week and didnt wait to get to Heathrow today to pick up my £1400 D700 as I have a feeling some very rude words may have been used when I got to the counter to see the new price!

Tax free prices now at new levels, the D700 has risen to £1652 TF with a RRP of 1899, not much choice and lenses very poor pricing e.g. 348 for a 70-300vr which is only a couple of pounds cheaper than online
I have always said that Dixons tax free prices are a rip off compared to readily available online prices. But somebody always comes along with contradictory comments so I have given up. Even at the famous Dubai airport, for cameras, lenses, electrical etc I have found exactly the same. Last year I found that, give or take £10 or £20, cameras, lenses and tripods were the same as online prices here.
Anyway, around 3 years ago I got myself a Tom Tom from a Dixons at Heathrow. I had an idea that the going price was around £400, which I had last seen maybe 2 weeks previously. So the Dixons price of £360 looked ok. I took a gamble, bought one and had it posted home. When I got back about 5 days later I looked at online prices. £320.
Honestly, the only thing Dixons at the airport are good for is picking up your mains plug adaptors.
