Refurbished Nikon Coolpix L29 for $34 w/free s&h

Back to the eBay Deals where Beach Camera’s eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished silver Nikon Coolpix L29 for $34 with free shipping and a limit of five per customer. This is AA powered.

Speaking of eBay, Adorama’s eBay store is offering the new condition Dell Inspiron 3000 Desktop (i3-4150, 8GB RAM, 1TB, DVD burner, USB 3.0, W8.1, etc) for $360 with free shipping with a limit of five per customer. Over 500 units got sold through this listing already.

Olympus E-M5 w/14-42mm Elite with free Oben Tripod w/Ball head for $500

If you are in the middle of long deliberations on whether to get the first generation Olympus E-M5 with 14-42mm for $500, B&H Photo has just added a new incentive: the Elite E-M5 w/14-42mm kit also includes a free Oben AC-1321 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with BA-106 Ball Head which goes for $85 on its own (averages 4.7 out of 5 based on 27 customer reviews there). While this promotion is running the free Oben will be included automatically by B&H, you don’t have to add it manually.

The other two E-M5 kits (black or silver, non-Elite) also go for $500 but no free Oben tripod. You can quickly switch between them using the thumbnail navigator over there:

The first generation E-M5 is no longer the “latest model” since Olympus released the all new E-M5 II (second generation) going for $1000 as body only. With twice the price, and that’s before you factor in the 14-42mm lens and Oben tripod, it creates a 2-for-1 trade-off.

Kodak PixPro AZ251 superzoom for $109

The post-Rochester Kodak PixPro AZ251 Astral-Projection superzoom (25x optical) is currently on sale in three different colors for $110 at the Staples website. To see the sale price, you have to select one of the three colors. The price before you select a color is $135.19. Staples really need a new website infrastructure system but I’m going off on a tangent now. This appears to be price-matched by Amazon.com in one of the three colors. The reviews at Amazon are all over the place, so do research the camera if you are not already familiar with it.

The other eight are utilitarian utilities of potential Mac interest. This is a digital download, all sales final, resale of licenses not allowed.

And on the “pay what you want front”, if you meet or beat the average price (currently $6.38), you can get a Mobile-First Developer’s Bundle that features 10 courses with a 70+ hour runtime covering HTML5, Swift (Apple’s now open-sourced language), Lollipop, WordPress, iOS8, and more). Digital redemption, all sales final, lifetime access. Compatibility varies by item, so check the individual listings there if you are interested in something specific.

On the online front, there’s a lifetime subscription to VPN Unlimited for $40 (up to five devices activated, updates included).

And if you have gone down the WordPress Theme rapid rabid rabbit hole like I have, they offer a variety of WordPress Theme bundles, including a “pay what you want” bundle.
