10ft Adjustable Photography Video Background Support Stand Kit w/carrying bag for $18 + $6 S&H

Groupon time now. A 3rd-party seller over there is selling this 10-foot Adjustable Photography Video Background Support Stand Kit w/carrying bag for $18 plus $6 flat shipping to the 48 contiguous US states. It cannot be shipped elsewhere (given the size/weight, it is cost prohibitive at this S&H fee)…

You can use Groupon Bucks towards these, but you cannot use promo codes… It averages 4.6 out of 5 based on 85 ratings at Groupon… It looks like this (or something similar) is also sold for $30 at amazon.com where it averages 4.3 out of 5 based on 84 customer reviews…

Olympus M. Zuiko ED 12-40mm f2.8 for $560 [MD]

Massdrop is back on again with a new lens offering. It is the new condition Olympus M. Zuiko ED 12-40mm f/2.8 lens offered for $560 with free US shipping. International shipping appears to hover around $10 but I can’t check all the countries in the universe 🙂

There is no mention of warranty in the listing, and this is the international version of the lens. In other words, a grey market from the perspective of the US market.

The offer runs for the next seven days (from posting time) and will get shipping in mid-to-late April 2019 by Massdrop

In new condition at authorized Olympus USA dealers this goes for $1000 (eg B&H, Adorama). Used prices start at $559 in condition “V” at Adorama
