Altura Photo Lens Cleaning kit for $8 w/free shipping
Things big and small are trending at the eBay Trending Deals and it’s on the small that we focus this post. eBay seller “Digital Goja” (99.9%) is offering a Lens Cleaning Kit for $8 with free shipping (from USA/Miami).
This includes various accessories assembled together Avengers-style: an air blower, a lens cleaning pen, a cleaning brush, a plastic spray bottle (empty), a 50pk of cleaning tissues, and three MagicFiber cleaning clothes. I count eight items, the eBay listing says “9 in 1”. I don’t know if they count the outer package as one item 🙂 Over 3600 units of this got sold so far.
PS: eBay changed the Trending Deals page. In addition to changing the actual url, they also changed the design, so now it’s a “tablety” designe, taking away the middle-button mouse-click, so clicking on the picture of an item opens it in-place. If you want to open in a new window/tab, you have to click on the name of an item below the tablety-sized picture.

Sanyo Eneloop 2-slot charger with two AA Eneloops for $10 w/free shipping
Do you go loopy over Eneloops? (sorry, that’s the best I could come up with in 20 seconds). Adorama is offering the Sanyo Eneloop 2-slot Travel Charger with two AA Eneloop rechargeable batteries (pre-charged, 1900-2000mah) for $10 with free shipping. As you can tell from the Sanyo brand name, this is an older model, but has a very sold 4.8 out of 5 based on 120 customer reviews at Adorama. It charges two AAs in about 4 hours. More details in the description and the reviews.
This could be a nice introductory gift to rechargeable batteries for people who use single-use batteries – as long as you explain to them that you can’t recharge single-use batteries with them. Perhaps point them to the exploding battery YouTube videos to make sure they “get it” – because a few will probably be tempted to “try it just in case it works”. You know how people are 🙂
