I was heading to 42nd St. photo to buy a Nikon D90 body. The reason I need a Nikon D90 body is that my D300 is broken.

Which camera shop was it?
AUTHOR: Edgeman - (U.S.A.)

As you may know, 90% of the nation's commercial photography is done in New York City. You also have the fashion photography scene, the press and the artists. As a consequence of all this activity, NYC is absolutely teeming with camera stores. A little more specificity would be helpful to people who need to know which cameras to avoid.
From your post, it sounds as if this store uses the "Brooklyn camera shop" model of business. They advertise a camera for an attractive price but withhold things such as the charger, the software, the body cap, etc. Then they charge inflated prices for those items and will at times push low quality junk instead. $65 for an 8GB SD card sounds like something they would do.
Check with Nikon about your camera. These stores have been known to sell grey market camera bodies and if they sold one to you, Nikon USA will not honor any warranties. They can tell if your camera is a USA model by checking the serial number.
