Sony RX100 V and $50 Gift Card and 32GB Extreme SD and Bag for $998
Don’t you forget about us sing the RAWsumers, and to those cameras we go where the Sony RX 100 Mark V has three freebies at B&H Photo while selling at the authorized dealer price of $998: a $50 B&H Photo gift card, a 32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC memory card, and a Ruggard camera case.
GoPro HERO4 Black with GoPro LCD Touch BacPac and GoPro Dual Battery Charger with Battery for $299
This was on sale for $329 last week, but as of the time of writing, it has dropped further, now going for $299…
If the GoPro HERO4 Black is the action camera you want of the ever-increasing number of options out there, B&H Photo has a GoPro HERO4 Black bundle for $299 with free expedited shipping. You get the standard kit plus these two free items: the GoPro LCD Touch BacPac (goes for $80 on its own) and GoPro Dual Battery Charger with Battery (goes for $49 on its own). It is a two-slot battery charger and comes with an additional battery in the box. So between the standard kit and the charger kit, you have two batteries.
Canon Pixma PRO 10 printer for $340 w/free S&H [without UPC on the box!]
Back to the eBay Deals with a de-UPC printer. That’s a printer whose UPC was removed from the box but it is otherwise unused/unopened. Most likely printers purchased using the Canon PIXMA mail-in rebates but not needed by their original owners and sold to others.
So if you don’t want to deal with the Canon PIXMA mail-in rebates and AMEX gift cards, you can get a new condition de-UPC’ed Canon Pixma PRO 10 printer for $340 with free shipping by eBay seller “Electronic City Inc” (99.3%, New York). Limit five per buyer.
This is a higher risk than buying new condition with UPC intact from authorized dealers, so it’s up to you to decide where you draw the line on risk and convenience (not having to deal with mail-in rebates (MIR) and/or gift cards). But if you prefer the lower risk approach, you can get it for $450 after a $250 MIR (prepaid AMEX GC) at B&H Photo.

Ends Tue PM: eBay Coupon: 20% off select items priced $25+ from 40 sellers
