Amazon 3rd-Party Seller Offering Deals on Epson 1080p Projector

Amazon was promoting a 1080p 3LCD projector from Epson Home Cinema Wednesday at $643.63, or 8% off its $699.99 list. The model 1060 projector touts 3,100 lumens of color/white brightness from an operating distance of 19 feet, plus built-in speakers and two HDMI ports, said Amazon. Third-party seller Tek Deals is fulfilling orders, said Amazon. Epson American brought suit in Florida just before Christmas against another Amazon third-party seller, Stratton AV, for allegedly giving the Epson brand a bad name by advertising and offering for sale various Epson projectors through its Hatchfields online store but without Epson inventory or authorization to sell the goods to consumers (see 2012230025). Epson didn't respond to questions seeking verification that Tek Deals is an authorized Epson reseller on Amazon.
