Canon DSLR Gear featured sales event on eBay
eBay is running a promotional Canon Cameras and Lenses features sales event featuring a total of 243 items with free shipping. You can use the left hand of the page over there to filter them by DSLR or Compacts or DSLR Bundles or Accessories or Lenses. Unfortunately I cannot price-check 240+ items on a dime, so this is a DIY adventure. As usual, check the condition of the item, the seller’s reputation and whether it’s an authorized or grey market (imported item).
70% off at REI Outlet (935 options)
The REI Outlet is having a 70% off sale (the price you see are the prices you pay, no coupons/rebates). A total of 935 options are available, a lot of outdoorsy and travel items for photographers who spend time in nature and/or traveling and/or backyard adventuring.
If you are an REI member ($20 one-time (not annual) membership fee), they have a promotion that gets you a $20 promotional bonus card if you spend $100+ between 7/21 – 8/2 in 2015 (see details). Members also receive a 10% annual dividend on eligible purchases which you can use to buy items or even redeem for actual cold hard cash. However, outlet and sale items do not earn a 10% dividend: they are hippies (REI is a collective) but they still have to stay in business 🙂
