I've found it makes sense to check out ResellerRatings with any internet dealer at which I'm looking to make a purchase. You'll likely find, as a general rule, that authorized dealers as a group are going to be rated far above the unauthorized ones, since the "worst of the worst" and the outright scam dealers are virtually guaranteed to be unauthorized.

I don't have money coming out my ears, but spend approximately $20,000 a year on new electronics/imaging/computer stuff and have found it's worth spending a little more to work with a reputable dealer.
