eBay is back with another coupon promotion. Coupon code PRESDAY gets you 20% off an order of $25 or more from 165 participating eBay sellers. The maximum discount you can get with the coupon is $50. So eligible orders of $250+ get a flat $50 off discount instead of 20% off.

Among the 165 partcipating retailers they have Beach Camera, Overstock, Big Value Inc, Cuisinart, eBags, Red Tag Camera, Casio Store, VM Innovations, and more. As usual, keep in mind that eBay is chaos, there’s a variety of product conditions and warranty/authorized dealer status options, so check each individual seller/listing if you are not familiar with them.

Of camera and photo interest, there are 2371 products under the Camera and Photo category but there’s probably more in other categories (eg drones or action cameras or storage and computer-related things may be categorized elsewhere).

The coupon promotion expires 2/20/18 at 8am pacific time. Their shopping cart is as usual the ultimate decider on what qualifies.

Imported Nikon D850 Body drops to $3230

A new development after today’s Stock Status Tracker update. We have another discount on the Imported Grey Market Nikon D850 Body on eBay by eBay seller Deals All Year, it dropped from $3250 to $3230 with free shipping and a 1-year seller warranty. The new condition price at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $3300.

As far as the other tracked cameras, it is status quo. Both the Sony a7r III and Panasonic G9 are steadily available at authorized dealers, although individual sellers may go in and out.

On a meta note, this is the last time we have the Fuji X100S in the Stock Tracker. The camera has been steady in prices, both used and new for a while now, so it will be retired. However, I am saving the entries, so if something happens that necessitates its return, it will be very easy to bring it back!

IF there are any other cameras or lenses you’d like to see tracked, please leave a comment here or at the Stock Tracker or the online contact form

A number of Photographer’s Guide ebooks by Alexander White on sale for $8 each: Fuji X100S, various Panasonic LX*, Sony RX1/RX10/RX100 models, Etc

UPDATE: Alexander S. White has written a lot of camera guides for various RAWsumers/serious-compacts and a number of his ebooks are currently on sale for $8 for the Kindle! You can find them all under his name.

Among the camera guides that are going for $8 as of the time of writing:

+ Fuji X100S
+ Sony RX1R II
+ Sony RX10 IV, I
+ Sony RX100 V, IV, II, I
+ Nikon P900, P610, P600, P510, B700, etc
+ Panasonic LX10/LX15, LX100, LX5, ZS70/TZ90
+ Canon S95
+ some Leica D-Lux models

There are two ways to get a feel for these camera guides before buying them:

1. you can get read Kindle sample (typically the first few pages of the book)
2. if you go to the hardback/print version of the book, it may have “Look Inside” enabled. “Look Inside” often lets you jump all over the book, and that’s the best way to get a feel for it since you can read actual content, not just the beginning

PS: you can find out at any time how much no-rush shipping digital credits you have by doing to amazon.com/norushcredits – it’s easy to remember, no rush credits. As far as I know, there’s no way to tell ahead of time whether an ebook is eligible or not for no-rush-credits.

PS2: if you have any digital no-rush-credits in your account and/or promotional Amazon credits, they will be applied automatically towards the purchase before your gift card balance and credit card is charged. Some publishers may not allow digital credits to be applied towards the purchase of their ebooks, so YMMV. The order receipt/email will tell you for sure after the purchase.

FREE ACDSee Video Studio 2 software

If it’s free I’ll take three, but this promotion is limit one per customer! ACDSee is offering FREE licenses for their Video Studio 2 software. You enter a name and email address.

I’m not currently on a Windows machine, so I can’t tell you what happens next. It’s a cliffhanger 🙂
