Activeon CX Action Camera for $28 w/free S&H

I must have seen that infomercial one too many times because every time I see the “ActiveON” name, all I can think about is “apply directly to the forehead”. Which actually you can do if you have/buy an action camera head strap 🙂

Panasonic ZS100 superzoom with $100 Gift Certificate and $22 Rewards for $548

In a parallel promotion to the GX9/GX85, the introduction of the brand new Panasonic TZ200/ZS200 (15X, $800, 1″ sensor) has also brought special offers on the TZ/FZ previous generations…

The Panasonic ZS100 currently goes for $548 with free shipping AND Adorama is including with it a $100 Adorama gift certificate and $22~ promotional rewards in your choice of black color scheme or silver color scheme…

Previously, in mid December 2017, Adorama offered this with a $50 gift certificate instead of a $100, but it included some free accessories.

As usual, you can optionally triple the original warranty by filing with Panasonica…

Panasonic GX85 with 12-32 and 45-100 and $100 Gift Certificate and $24 Rewards for $598 with free shipping

Panasonic just revealed the new GX9 with 12-60 for $1000, and it is often the case, it means discounting on the previous models.

The Panasonic GX85 with the 12-32mm kit lens is now bundled with the 45-150 f4-5.6 lens AND a $100 Adorama gift certificate and $24~ promotional rewards, all these for $598 with expedited shipping at Adorama in your choice of silver color scheme or the black color scheme.

The previous time Adorama had a similar promotion in last December 2017 it was with a $50 gift card instead of a $100 gift card!

The price is certainly right for a “take pictures with” entry-point into Micro Four Thirds. You pay $600, you get a camera, two lenses, and $124 “buying power” for future purchases at Adorama.

YMMV 8% eBay Bucks (no minimum purchase)

Attention eBay shoppers! We have a Union of the Two Towers! Already mentioned in progress until 2/20/18 AM is a 20% off eBay coupon promotion on 160+ sellers.

Now coming out via email and eBay messages, is a new 8% eBay Bucks promotion, running until 2/16/18 at 3am eastern. You must manually activate it before you earn the 8% eBay Bucks. This has no minimum purchase amount. I do not know if every eBay Bucks member gets these offers or the eBay computers do their “targeting thing” (eg nudge people who haven’t shopped in a while to shop, and so forth).

So if you buy an item that is eligible for the coupon and if you activate the 8% eBay Bucks, and make the purchases while both offers are running, we have the Union of the Two Towers!

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.

Another way to look for ideas is our eBay Category posts here…

(ENDED) Aukey 2-in-1 67″ Tripod/Monopod with 360 Ball Head and QR Plates for $37 w/free S&H after coupon

UPDATE 2/14/18 AM: the 50% off coupon expired, but now they have a 30% off coupon code AKTRIPOD that brings the price of the AUKEY 2-in-1 67″ Tripod/Monopod with 360 degree panorama ball head and two 1/4″ quick release plates down from $75~ to $52~. Obviously not as good as yesterday’s coupon that brought it down to $37~, thus I’m marking the deal as ended… Original post after the break for reference only…
