I decided to buy the new Panasonic TM700. I looked on B&H, Amazon, ebay, etc. Cheapest price I could find yesterday was $1000.
So I posted a question on the AVS forum to see if anyone knew how to buy it for less. One response gave the link to:

It required a valid corporate address. I had never set one up for the corporation that my wife and I own (homexam inc.), so I quickly created one and used it to register - free.
Then through a few more hoops to register with Panasonic, and a few more to find the TM700.
Bottom line: I got it for $750 (with free UPS shippng!) - a solid saving of $250. Well worth the investment of an hour or so.
If you have a corporate email address, you'll be able to register for free. And they had dozens of vendors, not just Panasonic. You might want to check it out next time you are in the market for an item that costs $$$.
