UPDATE 12/12/17 at 10:20am ET
Stranger in a stranger land. Now the same seller has a USED listing through Amazon which says it is brand new. Here’s a screenshot…
This is bizarre, I’d say wait for the more well-known retailers to have it in-stock 🙂
ORIGINAL POST
I just updated the Stock Status Tracker and there are some promising news, the camera is shown as in-stock for its starting price of $3200 by seller “Cardinal Photo” through Amazon. This ships directly from Cardinal Photo, and it is not eligible for Prime shipping.
The shipping estimates will vary depending on how near/far you are to the shipping routes as they intersect with Cardinal’s location.

This went for $329 last week, but as of this recheck, you can get the manufacturer refurbished Canon M10 with 15-45mm for $279 with free shipping and a 1-year Canon USA warranty from the official Canon USA Outlet store. Of interest if interested in a “take pictures with” kit for the Canon mirrorless system. Both the black and the white color schemes are in-stock as of the time of writing.

But if you want to save some, off to the Olympus USA Outlet store we go, where coupon code GREENMONDAY gets you the refurbished Olympus E-M1 II body for $1500 with free shipping and a 90-day Olympus USA warranty. The coupon drops the price from $1700 to $1500.
PS: the addition of the E-M1 II and the coupon seems to suggest that more things will be loaded to the Olympus USA store, but this is only my speculation…
