eBay daily deals: three small things with free shipping

If you like to buy small things with FREE shipping without having to fulfill a minimum purchase price, we have three eBay deals of the day that have just gone live that you may find interesting.

First, for $8 you can have the Dolica Weather-Resistant Ultra-Slim Camera Case with a mini tripod for $8 with free shipping by power-seller eCost (99.3%).

Next, helping you see in the dark, is this Inland Pro USB laptop light for $6 with free shipping and handling by seller VibeCellular (99.7%).

And we close with some music to your (or somebody else's) ears, a 4gb V-Clip mp3 player with headphones, new in box for $20 with free shipping and handling by Buy.com (99.7%). This music player does NOT have a display. You can thank Apple and its "brilliant" iPod Shuffle for turning the lack of a display into a "feature" :)

There are different limits on how many units you can get per item mentioned above. The easiest way to find out is to put the number of items you want in your shopping cart and see if you hit a limit.

Pentax fans deal alert: Pentax DSLR Crossover bag for $12.57

If you are a Pentax-brand fan, or like affordable DSLR bags, we have some great news for you! The price of the Pentax DSLR Crossover bag has dropped to $12.57 at Amazon. This is sold and shipped by Amazon herself, not third-party sellers. This is the organic price right now, it is not part of one of the regular Amazon gold box deals.

There are 23 customer reviews of this bag with an average rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

Shipping is free if the total of your order is $25 or more. And the math works in your favor, because if you buy two bags = $12.57 + $12.57 = $25.14! You can also reach the $25 limit by adding Amazon gift certificates or even magazine subscriptions. (We haven't tested this recently, but I think MP3/Video downloads do not count towards this $25 limit).
