Crazy deal on seller-refurbished unlocked HTC One M8 for $165
The latest Trending eBay Deals have a crazy low price on the 2014 HTC flagship smartphone/cameraphone, the One M8, with a microSD card, so you can many and more pictures without worrying about filling up the on-board storage.
NOTE: this is seller-refurbished, so they have a higher risk than manufacturer refurbished, so if you are risk-averse or a bit of a perfectionist, you may want to avoid them or at least approach with caution.
It is the seller refurbished 32GB HTC One M8 (6525), the Verizon model with its GSM part unlocked for use with any GSM provider. Check the bands and frequencies to make sure it works on your carriers of choice if planning to use it for cellular. Limit five per buyer. Over 4000 units sold so far. Only the gray color scheme remains. The other colors sold out. The M8 is one of the devices scheduled to get upgraded to Android 6.0.
They also have a couple of seller-refurbished Galaxy models, the S4 for $100 and the S5 for $180, at the Trending eBay Deals. No more microSD card with the new Galaxy S6 and its contemporaries.

Canon 7D Mark II Decision Points: Refurbished w/1yr warranty for $1200 -VS- New with Pixma Pro 100 and Extras for $1250 after $350 MIR
When it comes to the Canon 7D Mark II, the decision is more tricky between refurbished with one year warranty VERSUS brand new at authorized dealers. So let me present to you the options, and as usual, “we blog, you decide/deride” 🙂
At the refurbished Canon USA store sales, the 7D Mark II body only goes for $1200, while the 7D Mark II with 18-135mm goes for $1450. They come with a one year Canon USA warranty.
Now, the new condition price for the 7D Mark II body only at authorized Canon USA dealers is $1500, however, running in parallel are the Canon Pixma AMEX bundles. So if you do not object to mail-in rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards, there are trade-offs to be made. For example, this Adorama 7D Mark II body only bundle is $1250 after $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX gift card) and includes the 7D Mark II body only kit, the Pixma Pro 100 printer, 50pk 13×19″ photo paper, 32GB SD and New Leaf.
Refurbished Canon D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 IS STM and 40mm f2.8 EF with 1yr warranty for $520

Just like the rest, it is manufacturer refurbished D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 IS STM and 40mm f2.8 STM for $520 with free shipping and a one year warranty… It is part of the Canon Refurbished Columbus Day Sales…
