Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Among the recurring Friday coupons is the weekend offers at the Dell Refurbished website. The offers expire Monday at 11:59pm in the central time zone. Free US ground shipping. The coupons (which exclude clearance items as usual) are as follows:
+ 50% off any Dell Desktop priced $249 & up with Coupon code: DESK$249DEAL
+ 45% off any Dell Laptop priced $349 & up with Coupon code: LAPTOP$349DEAL
+ 40% off any Dell Monitor with Coupon code: MONITOR40DEAL
Friday is here in the pacific time zone and that means a new Amazon Gold Box set of offers has gone live. If you like to use car lights as a lighting source, they have a sale on select LED headlight lamps ^_^. They also have a sale on LOTR/Hobbit bundles of $joy$, especially now that Amazon has procured the rights and is developing an epic [okay expensive, epic remains to be seen] LOTR-based TV series.
Of more tech interest, they have a soccer team of Anker charging products on sale including a 26,800 mAh powerbank, a slim 10K mAh powerbank, wall chargers, wireless chargers, cables, and USB car chargers too…
Good until November 1st at 9am central time, coupon code HALLOWEEN48 gets you 48% off any item in stock (excluding Clearance items and the 7010 models) at the Dell Refurbished website. Free ground shipping as well… Dell Refurbished is a specialty Dell sub-site that specializes in reselling off-lease computers. Its coupons cannot be used on the main Dell website or the Dell Outlet. Its former name was “Dell Financial Services”…
The biggest news of yesterday’s 2018 Apple event taking place in Tim Cook’s new favorite city is that *gasp* the beloved iPad Mini 4 continues to be in the line-up as an active and “latest” model 🙂
On a more serious note, Apple revealed a handful of new products, a total of over 90 SKUs (when colors, storage, etc options are factored in). The new products include a promising upgrade of the 11″ and 12.9″ iPad PROs with USB-C [good thing I stopped buying accessories at 30-PIN ;-)] with prices starting at $800 for the 11-inch model and $1000 for the 12.9-inch and go as high as $1900.
Also arriving is the highly anticipated Retina MacBook Air with prices starting at $1200 and going up to $2600. All these come with on-board SSD ranging from 128GB to 1.5TB and either 8 or 16GB of RAM.
Last but not least, the most numerous of the new products with over 50 SKUs is the new MacBook Mini with prices ranging from $800 to $4100.
So if one wants to buy one of each, at the entry-point model, that’s $2800. On the other hand, if you want to buy the flagship of each product, that’s $8600. Still less than a decent used CR darling Honda Accord 🙂
Woot is having a partial Woot-OFF with three of their sub-Woots participating. Of camera/tech interest is the Clearance Woot-OFF, that’s the artist formerly known as Sellout. The other two participating sub-Woots are Gourmet and Shirts, so a good opportunity to pick up some creative shirts, especially if you are a Prime member since you get free shipping on Shirts [they are fairly lightweight and can be rolled up to burrito size, so they are easy and cheap to ship; thus the free Prime shipping benefit]…
Meanwhile it is Ninja day at the Amazon Gold Box where a trio of their household appliances are on sale, headlined by the $100 Coffee Bar Auto-IQ. If you don’t like coffee, you can use it as a lighting set-up challenge 🙂
Reading is fundamental on 10/10/18 at the Amazon USA store. If you read a lot of ebooks of the text-only and text-mostly variety, nothing beats a dedicated e-reader. And if you are part of the Amazon-Kindle ecosystem, good until 3am ET on Thursday, the headliner of the Gold Box deals of the day is the certified refurbished Kindle Voyage with the same full 1-year warranty as the new condition model. This goes for $95 as the Wifi-only model and $112 for the Wifi with free 3G data option… Limit up to three per customer at the sale price…
This is a great choice as it has a built-in light and both a touchscreen and physical page turn options on both sides of the bezel [the Paperwhite does not have the bezel physical page turn option]. I recently switched to this, the refurbished Voyage, after many years on the refurbished Paperwhite. I use a mix of the physical page turn and the touchscreen. I don’t even realize I’m switching pages with this, either way happens organically…
Both certified refurbished Kindles I bought looked as if they were brand new, in both appearance and packaging. Note that these are great for text-only and mostly-text but not ideal for photography or engineering or scientific reading that has plenty of graphs and tables and diagrams and such…
If you have or plan to get this and don’t want to pay the big bucks for the official Amazon covers, I’ve had good luck with various Moko cases for Kindles and other devices…
PS: meanwhile among the other Gold Box deals du jour, if you purchase the 512GB Samsung Galaxy Note 9 for the flagship price of $1250 (factory unlocked, USA warranty, no carrier crapola), you will also receive automatically for FREE the Samsung S3 Frontier Smartwatch. This is a pre-created bundle, just add to cart and proceed to checkout…
If you are a fan of Dell’s Precision 5810 Desktop Workstations, good until 7/6/18 at 11:59pm central, coupon code PRECISION5810 gets you 50% off those at the Dell Refurbished website with free US ground shipping. Prices start under $1000 after the coupon discount. It is a while supplies last promotion. Coupon can only be used at Dell Refurbished, not the main or other Dell websites.
Adorama is back with another “Snapshot deal”, a limited time flash sale. They are offering the new condition Rode Microphones RODELink Digital Wireless System for Filmmaker (includes TX-BELT Transmitter, RX-CAM Wireless Receiver, Lavalier Microphone, Captive TRS Cable) for $300 with free shipping. No coupons, no mail-in rebates, just add to the shopping cart and proceed to checkout…
+ latest refurbished Nikon items are currently available.
+ CLEARANCE sale on USED items (15000+ items)
+ Open Box sale (over 9100 options)
+ Overstock Sale (over 7800 items)
Good until the night of 6/28/18, NameCheap has a hosting sale. Coupon code HOSTINGTRANSFER gets you 50% off on their entry-level Shared Hosting plan, making it $12.44 for the first year, instead of $24.88 per year. This is a prepaid 1-year plan. You can host up to three websites with it. This is for small websites/blogs and experiments. They also have specials on .com domain transfers with the coupons shown over there. And now NameCheap offers FREE WHOIS privacy protection forever – as long as you are a customer. This is not a limited time offer. It is available to new and existing customers!
Woot-OFFs have fallen out of favor with Woot as they are experimenting with other ways to sell various random products. One of these experiments are the Woot Garage sales that are appearing every few weeks. This round includes an Electronics Garage sale along with a Computers Garage sale which includes a variety of storage options. Shipping is free for Prime members, or $5 flat for everything you buy in the Central time zone during a single calendar day. Some of these expire quickly, others run for a few days.
UPDATE: corrected links, apparently they create new index pages for each Garage sale category…
Dell Refurbished is back with another limited time coupon promotion! You can get 50% off any Dell Latitude E5440 Laptop by entering coupon code SAVE50E5440 over there until 6/19/18 at 11:59pm central time. Free US ground shipping. Prices start at $179 after coupon. Coupon can only be used at the Dell Refurbished website (not the main Dell website). While supplies last, restrictions may apple, pigs may fly, etc, etc, etc.
If you like unlimited data that is speed-limited, and you have phones that are compatible with the Sprint network, AND you are willing to start new lines and/or port existing phone numbers, Sprint has a pretty good deal, it’s the $15 per month Kickstarter promotion running until 6/14/18. This can be handy if you do a lot of smartphone photography out and about and want to instantly backup your photos to the cloud…
This offer is available online. You can buy a phone new or pre-owned from the Sprint website, or for a potentially better value, Bring your own phone, especially if you already own those phones or can get them for good prices used or refurbished. A growing number of phones are “all carrier” in the US market, including the bang-for-the-buck Motorola Moto G series, the Essential Phone, not just the iPhone, Galaxy and Pixel/Nexus flagships and the LG V30S. The aforelinked page has a detailed list of eligible phones under the “How do I know if my device is eligible” FAQ, or you can enter the IMEI in the box over there.
As usual, check the details, terms and conditions of the offer over there! Depending on which carrier(s) you have now, they may be doing some things different, so don’t assume it will be the same as your current carrier.
The data speed limits on the $15/month plans are as follows:
+ up to 480p video streaming
+ up to 500 Kbps in music streaming
+ up to 2 mbps in gaming streaming
+ excessive data use leads to deprioritation as with the regular Sprint plans
+ hotspot feature NOT available
Offers like this are a good reason to go for an “all carrier” phone that is carrier-unlocked. It gives you the ultimate flexibility. And it cuts down the number of options if you are dealing with “information overload” in trying to decide “which phone(s) to buy next” 🙂
Dell Refurbished is back with another weeke
nd coupon promotion running until Monday at 11:59pm central time. Free US ground shipping. Coupons cannot be combined with other offers or on clearance items. Coupons can only be used on the Dell Refurbished website:
+ 50% off Dell OptiPlex 7010 and 9020 Desktops with Coupon code: HOTDEAL50
+ 50% off Dell Latitude E7240 and E7440 Laptops with Coupon code: HOTDEAL50
+ 35% off any Dell item in stock (excludes 3020 Desktops) with Coupon code: DELL35ANYDEAL
For Prime members, Amazon itself is offering the new condition Motorola Moto G6 smartphone for $235 with free shipping with a limit of one per customer. The black color scheme is in-stock and shipping. This is the Prime-exclusive edition that comes with pre-installed Amazon apps, but Amazon no longer has the Amazon Lockscreen and Ads. They ended that program a few weeks ago.
If you are not a Prime member or don’t want pre-installed Amazon apps, you can get it for $250 by Motorola Mobility through Amazon, but it is not Prime-shipping eligible.
Needless to say there are many unlocked budget smartphones out there. One of the pluses of the Moto G series is that they are “all carrier”, they not only work with GSM (T-Mobile, AT&T) but they also work with CDMA (Verizon, Sprint). It has a dual camera and fingerprint reader, but it doesn’t look like it has NFC (of interest for Android Pay payments).

If you are looking to create new domains or transfer your existing domains to a new registrar, the budget-conscious NameCheap domain registrar is now offering FREE WhoIS domain privacy protection forever! This applies to both new customers and existing customers. Other domain registrars charge a lot for this service, eg $8/year at Godaddy and $10/year at Network Solutions. This protects you personal data (name, phone, address) from being listed in the public WhoIS database.
Domain registrations are also very reasonably priced at NameCheap and more specifically renewals are reasonably priced, for example, .com renewals are under $12. Many services offer great deals when you first register or transfer, but renewals are rarely discounted.

Woot-OFFs have fallen out of favor with Woot as they are experimenting with other ways to sell various random products.

This round includes an Electronics Garage sale which includes a $30 action camera, a 20-count of Fujifilm Instax Mini Twin Pack Instant Film [International Version] for $8, and a 50-count of Polaroid 2×3 inch Premium ZINK Photo Paper QUINTUPLE PACK for $15, drones, the new condition YI Action Camera with Selfie Stick & Bluetooth Remote (US Edition) for $45, and other assorted electronics.
The a Computers Garage sale which includes Sandisk Ultra and Samsung microSD cards, Seagate external HDDs, flash drives, monitors, Windows computers, MacBooks, etc.
Free shipping for Prime members make some of the lower priced items more tempting as you don’t have to plan a bigger purchase to “distribute” the $5 flat shipping fee.
This iteration expired but they’ll have new rounds every Thursday…
Thursday is showtime at NewEgg, with a VR theme for this week’s NewEgg NOW special offers. The promo codes there get you the discount… Not to be left behind, Amazon is also running their own infomercial show at the Gold Box main page…

You have to add the eligible items with the Google Home Mini in the same shopping cart and enter the coupon code.

If you are a Nokia + Zeiss shipper (ha!), the brand new Nokia 6.1 factory-unlocked Android smartphone with Zeiss optics is now in-stock and shipping for $269 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo with a free “B&H Photo Video Basic Photo/Video Kit for Smartphones” [mount, LED light, flexible tripod] automatically included by B&H.
This runs Android 8.0, with 3GB RAM [probably the minimum these days for Android], 32GB on-board, microSD storage, GSM, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C connector [but not USB 3.x features],
One of the things Nokia is promising with their Android phone line-up is speedy and steady OS and security updates ~ after all the phone is part of Android One. It is easier to promise this when your phone line-up consists of single-figures in individual models, we’ll see how it plays out in the next couple of years ~ after all, most phone manufacturers sound/sounded very optimistic in delivering updates at announcement time, but their post-release records are spotty and patchy [pun intended?]. But they have already delivered multiple updates for their first generation Android phones…
PS: the same price is offered at amazon.com but without a free photo-video accessories kit…
