Has anyone successfully used Greentoe to get a good deal on new gear?

I usually buy used but came across this site today and was wondering if anyone else had used them and what your experience was like.

Most major photo manufacturers have minimum advertised price policies so the concept here, I assume, is to work up discounts without advertising the prices. I like the concept. The issue is whether there is enough margin in the products to provide both the discount to the consumer and the commission to the web site. If you are in the market for something they list give it a try. It might well be worthwhile.
