Stock Update: D850/a7 III hard to find; G9, X-H1, K-1 II retired

Today’s update of the Stock Status Tracker has status quo fro the Sony a7 III kits and the Nikon D850 body only, they continue to be hard to find in-stock at their normal price at authorized dealers. But if you want the D850 filmmaker’s kit, there is one unit available for $5500 by Kenmore on eBAY.

Meanwhile the Pentax K-1 II, Fuji X-H1 and Panasonic G9 had been steadily in-stock and at the same prices, so I “retired” them from the Stock tracker. However, I save all the “retired” entries, so in case something changes in the future and they need to be brought back, they can be brought back in a flash.

Deal Follow-Up: the $2 Phone Tripod from Jan-2018 still hasn’t shipped

This is a deal follow-up! In late January 2018 there was a $2 doorbuster sale on a mobile/smartphone tripod for $2, sold and shipped by Amazon. As of this recheck, this has not yet shipped and it does not have a shipping estimate. So why hasn’t it shipped even though it’s offered for sale at amazon.com?

That’s because it’s a different seller. The $2 doorbuster was offered by Amazon itself, while the current listing over there is offered by a 3rd-party sellers. Items purchased on Amazon are from an individual, specific seller, so if that seller doesn’t have it, they can’t force other sellers to ship it you and honor their prices [imagine if you sell your camera, you wouldn’t want Amazon to force you to sell it for a crazy price].

I am cancelling my order, so I won’t have any future updates for it. Three months is more than a reasonable time to wait for it 🙂
