Yes dear readers, we have an all-star game! The B&H Photo MEGA DEAL zone is back! This is like an all-star game of previous daily deals. As of the time of writing 1515 of previous daily deals are running, in progress and in parallel. You can buy as many as you like! If you missed any good deals previously on, this is your second chance!

These typically run in 24 hour increments, just like the daily deals. If I recall correctly these typically start at Tuesday early AM and run until Thursday at 11:59pm ET.

You can also sort the 1515 offerings in different ways, for example by BEST SELLERS where we see that Sandisk memory cards lead the way, there’s a $400 Lenovo 16″ laptop in the top 10, and the first camera-lens item is the Vello Auto Lens Adapter for Canon EF/EF-S lenses to Canon RF bodies for $43.

Another way to look at them is sorted by the Biggest Percentage DISCOUNT. The leader of this pack went from $30 down to $2. No, it’s not a cleaning cloth 🙂 It’s Sunpak Action Camera Accessory kit with head mount, suction cup mount and tripod mount. That’s 67c per accessory 😉

Another practical way of looking at them is sorted by LOWEST PRICE where we find a $2 Joby Action Grip, a 5pk of Vivitar lens cleaning kits for $5 (that’s $1 per kit), $5 is also the price of a 64GB Kingston USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 flash drive. Or $7 for the 128GB variant (on the same root listing).

I could go on for hours and hours but you get the feel for it. There are many different ways you can sort and filter the 1515 options of the MEGA DEAL zone. So much so, you have yourself a new hobby for the next three days at the office 😉

AND IF you tire of deal-hunting, how about some free e-learnings? Starting on Tuesday at 12pm ET at Creative LIVE ON AiR is a “crafts photography fundamentals” class and also a “quick home photo sessions” class.

And Bags and Tripods in this edition of the B&H Photo daily deals good until Monday 6/17/24 at 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out:

Thursday is here and the B&H dailies are the same quartet they had on Tuesday. B&H will reopen on Friday, previously placed orders will begin shipping then, and a new set of daily deals will appear!

1pm CENTRAL = Woot Mystery Boxes
If you enjoy the mystery, the excitement and the …eventual disappointment of MYSTERY BOXES, the Woot website is sale-brating their 20th birthday (they still can’t drink but they write as if they are drunk LOL) with a Mystery Box sale at exactly 1pm central time. The process is explained in the Woot forums.

The items in the box are random, but some of the boxes may contain the Canon D-Rebel T7, iPad (10th generation), PS5 Slim, Acer Chromebook, etc). That’s the mystery of the mystery box 🙂

The sale will happen in a reverse auction style, the price going down until they sell out or the offer ends. I haven’t done these before, so I have no clue what to expect from them. DIY and YMMV 🙂

We forgot about the Amazon Gold Box, lettuce take a look at it. We can see some MacBook Air M3s (plural), Ring doorbells, walking pads (all the rage these days), and various Amazon-branded products.

Street photography is the headliner starting at 12pm ET on Thursday free-streaming at Creative LiVE ON AiRrR with Chase Jarvis and Steve Sweatpants (aka Irby).

A note on scheduling. B&H will be closed from Tuesday at 2pm ET until they reopen on Friday the 14th, so be sure to plan your orders accordingly!
