Prime Benefit: Three New Sample Boxes

And now something fun! If you are an Amazon Prime member, Cyber Monday has more utilitarian benefits for you as well. Amazon launched a new trio of sample boxes. You buy the sample box at the listed price, and a week later you receive a credit in the same amount to spend on a future purchase of similar items (from a predetermined list; the shopping cart will tell you whether an item qualifies). Of camera & photo interest, these can be handy if you are a roar warrior or if you want more supplies at the studio and use as needed.
