But right now it’s slightly below its original price (and that’s before you factor in the value of the battery grip included for FREE for a limited time).

In-Stock Now: Panasonic GH5 for $2000
If you are chasing the Panasonic GH5 body only, it is currently in-stock and ready to ship for $2000 (actual price is $1998 but I’m rounding things for simplicity) at Amazon by Amazon itself. The page says it may take 1-2 extra days to ship.
If you are a Prime member and pay with either the Amazon Chase VISA card or the Prime Store credit card, you earn 5% back as a statement credit, which in this case is a cool $100 🙂
I will do a full update of the Stock Status Tracker at some point on Sunday, on a time permitting basis, but you can use it to do a quick DIY check at any time.
Amazon lowers Free Shipping Minimum to $25 again (Experiment or Permanent?)
If you like to shop at Amazon, but don’t want to sign up for a Prime membership [list of benefits], and don’t want to place $35+ orders, we have some good news for you. It looks like Amazon has lowered the free shipping threshold from $35 to $25. While price-checking some of the Bag The Bags, this came up, the minimum shown is $25 instead of $35. This showed up when not logged on to an Amazon account, and also if logged on to a non-Prime account.
If you want practice/test this, here’s a sub-$25 item, screenshot of which can be seen below:
I don’t know if this is a limited time or limited scope experiment (Amazon LOVES to experiment) or this is permanent. (permanent until they change it again that is).
In the previous iterations, books got free shipping with $25+ orders, presumably price-matching the long-standing Barnes & Noble offer. If this sticks, it means books and non-books get free shipping on $25+ orders.
Epson WF-2760 All-in-One Wireless Printer for $60
Print time, the Epson WF-2760 All-in-One Wireless printer with NFC and Wi-fi Direct too is on sale for $60 with free shipping, with a limit of up to four units per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual.
Speaking of Amazon, good until 10:39pm ET tonight, the NEEWER CN-216 216PCS LED Dimmable Ultra High Power Panel Digital Camera / Camcorder LED Light is on sale for $33~ as one of many Neewer lightning deals running in the Saturday Gold Box. The price before the sale was $41.
YMMV 8% eBay Bucks on $50+ items (ends Sun PM)
This is YMMV ~ I do not know if eBay offers this to everyone or a subset of their registered users. Good until Sunday night (5/7/17 at 11:59pm pacific), you earn 8% on $50+ items purchased during this promotional period. Some exclusions apply as usual and the maximum rewards you can earn is $100 per transaction, and $500 during the promotional period.
eBay could do a better job describing these promotions in the emails since they do not clearly outline the difference between a “$50+ item” and a “$50+ purchase”. The former is clear that it has to be reached with a single item. The latter is confusing since eBay now has a proper shopping cart and you can reach $50+ with 100 $0.50 widgets. I’m assuming this promotion is for the former (individual items priced $50+ individually).
A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.
