Sony vx 2000 camcorder wanted

Sony VX 2000 video recorder wanted, reasonably priced and available asap in NJ/NY area. It will be use to produce videos for a Catholic charismatic ministry group in Manila - Children of Light.
Paramount Electronics near Times Square had 1 in stock but the sales person seem dishonest. First he said it cost $1600. Once he opened the box and we ask for the price again, it became $1699, then he only wanted cash. Who brings that much cash around this days? I walk out of the store determine not to part with any cash inspite of my son's ascertion that it is a good deal. If that store is not taking my credit card then they will not get a sale. Tomorrow, I will call or go to camera stores in Newark, Jersey City or maybe again to the city. My friend Remy said to call B&H on 33rd St.
Sony do not make that model anymore. Next version 2100 cost $2900 at 6th Ave Electronics & PC Richards. Such price is prohibitive. Nothing on ebay this week.
