Back to the eBay Deals, this time we have an imported grey-market new condition full frame DSLR with a 1-year warranty from the seller, not Canon USA. It is the imported Grey-market Canon 6D Body Only going for $1099 with free shipping with a limit of five per customer by eBay seller “Electronics Valley” (99.7%, New Jersey).

This goes for $1500 in new condition at authorized Canon dealers with a Canon USA warranty, but they are allowed to include some free accessories and rewards, such as Adorama (various bundles with free accessories) and B&H Photo.

Somewhere in-between in price is an open-box Canon 6D body only for $1269 with a 1-year Canon USA warranty but no free accessories at Adorama where it is back-ordered but you can place an order if you like the price.

The 6D is also participating in various Pixma PRO printer bundles that involve traditional mail-in rebates, so that’s another alternative if you need the printer and/or do not object to the mail-in rebate and AMEX gift card process.

YMMV 6% eBay Bucks with $50+ items (ends Sat PM)

If you are an eBay Bucks rewards member, check your emails/messages for a potential new bonus bucks offer. This may be targeted, so I have no way of knowing how many people get it.

The usual terms and exclusions apply. Offer ends Saturday 9/3/16 at 11:59pm pacifica time.
