Prime Members: Free 4-Month Magazine subscriptions (includes Popular Photography)

If you are an Amazon Prime member, for a limited time (until 10/14/15), Amazon offers you free four month subscriptions on up to three magazines, from a choice of 22 options. Options include Popular Photography, Wired, Popular Science, and such.

THE CATCH is that after the first four months, the subscription converts to an auto-renewing subscription at $12 per magazine per year. So if you want to get those four free months but don’t want to pay later, make sure you cancel before it converts to a paying subscription. Existing subscribers are not eligible. More details at the Terms/Conditions over there.

Crazy deal on seller-refurbished unlocked HTC One M8 for $165

The latest Trending eBay Deals have a crazy low price on the 2014 HTC flagship smartphone/cameraphone, the One M8, with a microSD card, so you can many and more pictures without worrying about filling up the on-board storage.

NOTE: this is seller-refurbished, so they have a higher risk than manufacturer refurbished, so if you are risk-averse or a bit of a perfectionist, you may want to avoid them or at least approach with caution.

It is the seller refurbished 32GB HTC One M8 (6525), the Verizon model with its GSM part unlocked for use with any GSM provider. Check the bands and frequencies to make sure it works on your carriers of choice if planning to use it for cellular. Limit five per buyer. Over 4000 units sold so far. Only the gray color scheme remains. The other colors sold out. The M8 is one of the devices scheduled to get upgraded to Android 6.0.

They also have a couple of seller-refurbished Galaxy models, the S4 for $100 and the S5 for $180, at the Trending eBay Deals. No more microSD card with the new Galaxy S6 and its contemporaries.
