Where To Buy Nikon D3100? - 1
Where can I buy the Nikon D3100 Cheap and Online with 1 lens?
Adorama has a refurbished one that I would consider a great deal

Likewise Cameta

If you are avoiding refurbished, and you shouldn't be, Abe's of Maine has a new one. They also have a grey market one that I would avoid because of warranty issues, but this one is a USA one.

And, of course, you can negotiate amazon.com.
For some reason, the Nikon D3200 is selling for about $200 less than the older D3100 with one lens.
Check the Nikon USA website for the latest information on the cost of digital SLR cameras
Nikon has a Minimum Advertised Price policy or MAP that prevents authorized Nikon dealers from selling their gear below a certain amount. This basically means that all authorized dealers for Nikon sell their gear at exactly the same price. If a seller violates this policy, Nikon could revoke their authorized-dealer status and no longer sell to them. However, there are plenty of stores that sell Nikon on eBay that don't have such a contract with Nikon. The up side is that you save good chunk of cash, the down side is that you don't have a warranty since you didn't buy it from an Nikon authorized dealer. Most cameras don't fail during the warranty period anyway, so a lot people will take the chance.
If you're looking for a authorized dealer, then I'd check out bhphotovideo.com or adorama.com. I would avoid amazon.com as they charge sales tax while B&H and Adorama don't.
You should also try finding a local store and see if they'll make you a packaged deal. This is something that you'd never get from an online dealer. Go to Nikonusa.com and check out their dealer finder.
Have you checked out Amazon? They have new ones that are very reasonably priced, and you can choose which lens you want. Here is the link:

Hope this helps!
