I did not get around to posting the Lightning Deals schedule last night, but I “caught” one shortly after going live, the Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 Classroom in a Book by Evans and Straub is on sale for $22.58 in paperback format at Amazon. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order (of books) or $49+ of general purpose items. Non-Prime members can start buying it at 1:30pm ET. It is 19% claimed as of 1:24pm ET.

The 10×20 ft Chromakey Green Muslin Prism Backdrops by Ravelli, which is 9×18 feet after “pre-shrinkage”, is currently available for $26 with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime shipping eligible. If you are not a Prime member and you are not planning a $49+ order, it is available for $33 with free shipping through eBay.

As of 4/25/16 recheck, both prices jumped from $110 to $130… The wild west of the eBay Deals…
Among the longer non-daily deals at Woot, there is a mini camera sale good until 4/28/16 at 12am central featuring three models:
+ new condition Canon SX530 HS superzoom for $190
+ refurbished yellow Fuji XP80 waterproof for $90
+ refurbished white Fuji Instax Mini 8 instant camera for $50
The limit is three of each camera per customer. Shipping is $5 flat for everything you buy from Woot in April 2016, so if you already bought something, you won’t pay shipping again in April 2016. This may be an experiment to try a monthly/annual membership or a competitive counter to the $5 per month Meh.com MVP plan (they funnily call is VMP rather ironically!).
This weekend sale ended with the weekend 🙂
The Fuji X-T10 body only goes for $800 or for $900 with the 16-50 at authorized Fuji USA dealers (eg Adorama).
But if you are more of a risk taker, among the latest eBay Deals, seller “Electronics Valley” (99.5%, New Jersey) is offering the new condition imported grey-market Fuji X-T10 body only for $500 with free shipping, in black or silver, with a 1-year warranty from the seller (not from Fuji USA).
I don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but when buying imported items, don’t just buy them because it’s a much lower price. Make sure you are comfortable with the risks and trade-offs of such purchases. Ultimately you are the one who is going to have to sleep and live with the decision and as such, you are the ultimate decider of what’s an acceptable risk to take. (all apologies if this may sound a little Nanny-State-ish but some people may not be familiar with the whole imported vs authorized kerfuffle. In situations like this it is mayhaps better to err on the side of caution).

Friday is over and so are these daily deals…
Bubbling around in the eBay Top 100 trending deals is yet another manufacturer refurbished Nikon DSLR promotion with a 90 day Nikon USA warranty. It is the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3300 with the 18-55 and 55-200 DX VR II lenses (both lenses are VR) going for $350 with free shipping, with a limit of two per customer by Beach Camera on eBay. This is available in either black or red D3300. Over 760 units got sold so far from this eBay listing per the numbers shown there.
There are many and more Nikon DSLR kits floating out there, it’s a buyers market, with the silver lining being option overload. But I’m pretty sure the people who paid $2000 for an APS-C DSLR thirteen years ago would be willing to trade choice overload for 1/7th the price 🙂
The Manfrotto 681B Professional Anodized Monopod is currently on sale for $55 with free expedited shipping at Adorama as one of their many Clearance Sale items.
We are now in the last few hours of the NAB 2016 Specials. Last call as they say. B&H closes at 7pm ET today (Thursday 4/21/16) and will re-open on 5/1/16, so this is the final countdown for the NAB offers.
If you don’t feel like going through all the offers, here are some pre-sorted links by product category: 10 Tripods (Benro, Magnus, E-Image, Manfrotto, etc) and 30 LED Lights (Genaray, Litepanels, Dracast, Ledgo, Cool-Lux, etc) and 2 Impact Green Screens and 2 Flolights and 3 Westcott Cine Kits.
One more thing, if you are looking for a workstation-caliber $1000 laptop, the HP 15.6″ OMEN Pro Multi-Touch Mobile Workstation PC, model L9U78AA#ABA, goes for $1000. It has a late May 2016 shipping estimate though. Specs include Core i7-4870HQ Quad-Core, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM, 15.6″ UWVA Anti-Glare 1920 x 1080 Touchscreen, 512GB Z Turbo Drive M.2 PCIe SSD, NVIDIA Quadro K1100M with 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM, 64-bit Windows 7 Professional, 3 year warranty, etc.
Another compact zoom sale, the black Nikon Coolpix S7000 (20x optical, Wifi) is available in certified refurbished condition with a 90 day warranty for $123 with free shipping by Beach Camera thru Amazon. The new condition price at authorized dealers is $200 with free accessories (eg Adorama).
This ships from a Beach Camera facility, but if you are a Prime member, you still get free Prime shipping. This is because of a recent expansion of the Prime program benefits where some retailers for some products (such as Beach Camera and recently Adorama) also offer fast shipping for Prime members. The downside of this is that you have to pay even more attention to the product listings to notice all these distinctions. Annotated screenshot crop below highlighting the points to look at:
If you are a fan of the Duracell Quantum single use batteries, one of the latest online Staples Deals is a 24pk of Duracell Quantum AA batteries for $11. Limit ten sets per customer at the discounted price. Free Ship to Store, or with a $15+ order if you are a Staples Rewards member.
PS: the same offer is available for a 24pk of Quantum AAAs.

The maximum savings from the coupon is $50. The coupon is good for one units per item, but you can use it on up to three Local Deals and up to three Goods.

Offer ends 4/22/16 at 11:59pm local time.

I caught another Gold Box lightning in a bottle so to speak, the Lowepro Fastpack 350 DSLR Camera Backpack is on sale for $70 with free shipping with a limit of one per customer. Offer good until 4pm ET or earlier if sold out. It is 19% claimed as of 12:39pm ET.

More memory card action now, the 64GB Sony Class 10 UHS-1 SDXC (up to 70MB/s model SF64UY2/TQ) is on sale for $15 with a limit of 30 per customer at Amazon by Amazon itself, while the 32GB version goes for $8 (limit 30 as well). Meanwhile the 128GB version goes for $35 (same limit).
And to think that once upon a time we thought a 32MB Smartmedia card could hold so many pictures 🙂
Speaking of storage, here’s a few other ones buzzing around:
+ 128GB PNY microSDXC for $30 (“defeats” other options in its own lineup)
+ 128GB PNY USB 3.0 Flash Drive for $25
The usual free shipping terms apply. Free 2-day for Prime members (remember you can get some digital credits or Prime pantry credits if you select slower shipping). Non-Prime members get free shipping with an order total of $49 or more in eligible items, or if your order contains at least $25 in books (I don’t remember if used books fulfilled by Amazon count towards the limit).
The Domke Propack 414 Backpack is currently going for $50 with free shipping at Adorama (as one of their Clearance Sales) and also by various at Amazon with two Prime-eligible options.
If you are a fan of the Monoprice way of doing things, they have a new coupon promotion good until the end of day on 4/21/16, coupon code 2XTEN gets you 10% off at the Monoprice website. The usual coupon exclusions apply (you can see them after you add the coupon to the shopping cart, and then click on the coupon name).
The NAB specials are running in all directions, here’s another one. If you are a fan of Tokina’s Cinema T-lenses (yes, they make those too), there is a sale on nine of those lenses at B&H Photo with the Canon EF, PL, and M43rds mounts represented with various T3.0 zooms and other lenses. They also earn 4% promotional rewards.
Most of the NAB Specials at B&H expire on 4/21/16 PM, and that’s when the B&H offices will close until 5/1/16, so factor that in your purchase planning.
The AUKEY 3 in 1 Clip-on Cell Phone Camera Lens Kit (three clip-on lenses, fisheye, wide, macro) is currently on sale for $11 by the maker (Aukey Direct) with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so you get free shipping if you are a Prime member, or with a $49+ ($25+ books) order. These average 4.1 out of 5 based on 400 customer reviews, and they also have sixty questions answered by other shoppers there. This is not a lightning deal, so this could last anywhere between 1ns and forever 🙂
If you are part of the eBay Rewards Program (eBay Bucks) you may be eligible to participate in an 8% eBay Bucks rewards promotion on purchases of individual items priced at $100 or higher. Check your emails or eBay messages to see if the eBay computers selected you for this particular promotion. You have to manually activate the offer before you earn the bonus rewards. The offer is good until April 21st at 11:59pm pacific. The typical limits and exclusions apply (you can find them in the email/message).
I have no way of knowing what percentage of eBay Bucks users are participating in each one of these promotions. I can only see the ones sent to my eBay account, but eBay seems to be sending them to different groups of shoppers at different times. Or something like that. The computers are taking over 🙂
A couple of places to look for ideas are the eBay Deals and the Top 100 Trending Deals.
