Featured eBay Camera Sale (586 options)

eBay has another semi-curated featured Camera sale with a total of 586 items participating, from $18 generic Canon D-Rebel battery grips to DSLR bundles with boatloads of accessories. This is an ever-scrolling page, so the further you scroll down, the more items appear. You can filter them by product category and/or brand using the options on the left-hand side of their website over there.

Unfortunately I cannot multi-thread (verb) myself like a computer-server and go through the 586 items just like that, so for now it is a YMMV adventure if you are curious.
