eBay is back with another coupon promotion. Coupon code PRESDAY gets you 20% off an order of $25 or more from 165 participating eBay sellers. The maximum discount you can get with the coupon is $50. So eligible orders of $250+ get a flat $50 off discount instead of 20% off.
Among the 165 partcipating retailers they have Beach Camera, Overstock, Big Value Inc, Cuisinart, eBags, Red Tag Camera, Casio Store, VM Innovations, and more. As usual, keep in mind that eBay is chaos, there’s a variety of product conditions and warranty/authorized dealer status options, so check each individual seller/listing if you are not familiar with them.
Of camera and photo interest, there are 2371 products under the Camera and Photo category but there’s probably more in other categories (eg drones or action cameras or storage and computer-related things may be categorized elsewhere).
The coupon promotion expires 2/20/18 at 8am pacific time. Their shopping cart is as usual the ultimate decider on what qualifies.
Especially for those contemplating a camera purchase, extra especially for those tempted by a camera being offered in this promotion by an outfit with “Big” in its name: buyer beware. I mean, a 2010 Toyota Camry might’ve been kind of nice in 2010 through, maybe, 2014, But, would you consider buying one now for $22,000 because you could get, say, a $500 discount? (I hope not.) Be guided by some comparison shopping.
For example, a new condition Fujifilm X-E2S body being offered in this promotion for about $484 ($434 after $50 coupon) is available from one of the two top New York City-area camera dealers now for $15 less, with free two-day shipping. Prices before coupon discount for some elderly 10 megapixel Nikon 1 (orphan) models are nothing short of outrageous and little better than that after a $50 discount.
eBay is like a box of chocolates ~ everyone can sell anything and everything, so it’s always a buyer beware and do your homework, especially if it’s not from well-known sellers!
Agreed. Too many of these “special” eBay coupon and discount sales feature discounts off of prices that are uncompetitively high to begin with. That Fujifilm X-E2S body deal starts at $484, then it’s $434 with coupon. Amazon and Adorama have had it at $419 for weeks.
