Not to be confused with Amazon Warehouse Deals which sells used items, Amazon has an Outlet store which sells new condition overstock items. As of the time of writing they have nearly 9000 items. You can use the left-hand side categories over there to filter them by areas of interest.

They have 75 items under the Camera & Photo Outlet of the C&P (= Camera & Photo) accessory kind. No cameras, no lenses. Except for a couple of generic kids cameras that is.

Of related interest is the Electronics Outlet with over 830 items as of the time of writing…

These are not daily deals. They are on-going overstock outlet offerings which have their own schedule (or mayhaps determined by the Amazon AI Price Bots, who knows…)

B&H Photo has launched their Cyber Monday 2020 deals too, which you can find by paging down and paging down and paging down until your mouse gets tired 🙂 Too many to list individually here… [for a breakdown of their daily deals check our earlier post…]

Separately they have a No Interest IF Paid in 24 Months promotion using the B&H Financing Credit Card. Check the terms and conditions and restrictions (they have nice FAQs) at the aforelinked page.

Note that the B&H Financing Card mentioned in the paragraph above is a SEPARATE product from the previously mentioned B&H PayBoo card…

Adorama has launched their Cyber Monday deals with over 1800 options participating. You can use the categories and options on the left hand side to filter them (eg by brand). Over 1140 of them are in Photography and another 210+ are in Video.

But if you are pressed for time and don’t want to go through 1800 items, Adorama has you covered as well, they have also launched their Top 100 deals. Just like their Top 100 Black Friday, these are organized in blocks by product category (eg cameras, lenses, computers, etc). If you want to see a lot more click on the “See All” at the top right corner of each category block…

IF you had been waiting to finalize and place your order at B&H Photo, they are back after their customary Sabbat closing and their website is accepting orders once again!

Check out their Black Friday / Cyber Monday offerings for ideas…

Black Friday, the actual day, can be a huge information overload, especially if you are interested in products that fall into different categories and types. To help with that, Adorama is running a Top 100 Deals page that lists what are in their opinion their Top 100 deals. Each product category has L and R arrows to see more in the slider type thing, and of course it has a “See All” to see a lot more products of that type…

If you are planning to jump on the B&H Photo Black Friday deals, make sure you place your orders before 4:30pm ET on Friday. As usual, B&H observes Shabbat, and online ordering is not available between Friday 4:30pm eastern and Saturday 5:45pm eastern. You can place items in the shopping cart but you cannot checkout.

If you live in a state that collects sales tax on online purchases, and you are shopping or plan to shop at B&H Photo, their PayBoo payment card can save you the sales tax. Legally of course because B&H pays it on your behalf. The process is like this:

• pay for the B&H purchase with the PayBoo card, eg $1000 lens
• your Payboo card is charged $1000 for the lens and $80 for the sales tax (assuming your state has an 8% sales tax)
• so you paid the sales tax
• then the PayBoo card automatically deducts $80 from your amount due, making it be $1000, the price of the lens
• you can use the PayBoo card like a payment card (eg classic AMEX) or like a credit card with a revolving credit
• if you use it like a revolving credit card, check the interest rates first
• PayBoo can only be used at B&H, it is not a Visa/Mastercard/etc
• all the details at the PayBoo website

Adorama has launched their Black Friday deals portal page highlighting some of the best offers per category and then linking to the rest of them (eg the the 83 camera kits). This is best viewed with a wide(r) computer monitor for the easiest browsing experience… More on these later on…

Singles Day 2020 is here, November 11, and with it there’s plenty of sales in-progress at Chinese websites (that ship world-wide and have English versions of their websites) including:

+ GearBest, the one I placed most orders with, and has a more organized, less chaotic website
+ Top Tech Feast sale; just not a “Feast for Crows” 🙂
+ $5 off an $80+ PayPal order

+ Alibaba

+ Alibaba’s more western-facing AliExpress
+ that red thing with white inside you may see in product listing search-results, that’s 11 11 written in white on a red background, noting that a product is participating in 11-11 sales; it took me a few minutes to realize I must admit 🙂

+ DH Gate

+ Bang Good, it is indeed a retail website, do not let the name scare you 😉

+ Geek Buying because the geeks will not only inherit the earth but will also buy it 😉

+ Light In The Box

+ Deal Extreme (as of the time of writing it appears to be down per Cloudfare)

+ if you have any other favorites that you found good deals, please feel free to post them in the comments or use the online contact form

As usual, a number of the websites have “lightning type of deals”, and those require some luck because the world market for these websites is decidedly over 1 billion shoppers…

PS: since the names are so close, let’s also make Singles Day a Shingles Awareness Day!

PS2: since the names are exactly the same, we must needs also make today a 45rpm Singles Day appreciation day! The good old and new days of vinyl!

The first wave of holiday shopping has arrived at the B&H Photo website… You can peruse the offers in different ways as usual… More on these later on, I have not yet entered “Black Friday” mode 🙂

I almost missed this one completely while I was lost in a sea of Prime Deals BUT there’s still time, Adorama is running a 48 hour sale that is good until Wednesday 10/14/20 at 11:59pm eastern…

+ Sony a7R II body with Flashpoint TTL R2 flash with intergrated R2 radio transceiver for $1298
+ optionally, “create a bundle and save” and get combined purchase discounts if you purchase this together with select Zeiss or Sigma or Tamron or Laowa or Rokinon lenses; they are all listed over there when you expand the aforementioned “Special Offer” section over there

+ 2TB Seagate Expansion Portable External HDD for $53
+ not so long ago $50~ was the 1TB floor price

+ 6TB Seagate Expansion Portable External HDD for $95

+ Vivitar 52mm 3-Piece Solid Neutral Density Filter Kit with ND2, ND4 & ND8 for $5

+ Flashpoint Zoom TTL R2 Flash With Integrated R2 Radio Transceiver for Canon (TT685C) for $99

Too many to list here individually, check them all out at the Adorama 48 hour sale…

This year Labor Day is taking place as late as calendarily [new word; if it doesn’t exist already] possible, bringing it closer to Black Friday, although with the unprecedented COVID-19 situation, all is in flux… Regardless, doom and gloom is all around but how about some shopping fun?

B&H Photo has release their first round of Labor Day 2020 Deals with a total of 98 offerings, including Canon, Nikon, Sony and Fuji cameras, various laptops, electronics and gadgets and mo(i)re…

If you are a fan of the way of the Woot, they are planning a variety of sale-a-brations for their 16th birthday on Sunday July 12 in 2020, and continuing during the rest of the week. They are teasing a number of the offerings, along with whatever else goes live on the actual dates.

Of note, Friday July 17 will have a Birthday Woot-OFF running from 7am to 10pm central time… During the week of sale-a-brations they’ll also have Prime exclusive deals and more… Check the aforelinked forum link for all the details…

It’s OPTIC time at B&H Photo with two days worth of online content and of course they have assorted deals to go with the online show…

As with many other shows [see Trade Show Calendar], OPTIC has moved to the interwebs, which is the most reasonable thing to do while COVID uncertainty remains…

The Memorial Day sale thing is also happening at Adorama with nearly 4800 options currently available as part of the time. I’m not sure anyone of you will be going through one by one, but you can filter them many different ways, by product category, price range, new-ness, discount percentage, manufacturer name, and more…
