Wacom Intuos Photo Pen and Touch digital photo editing tablet (Small; CTH490PK) for $81 (limit 5)
The “Small” Wacom Intuos Photo Pen and Touch digital photo editing tablet (model CTH490PK) is currently on sale for $81 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit up to five per customer. This is not a lightning deal, so there’s no ticking clock on the price.
It is the usual “market driven” price which means it can change in the next millisecond or stay like that for the next 50,000 years. Most of the times it’s somewhere in-between 🙂 #ExpertAnalysis

Refurbished with 1-Year Warranty: Canon D-Rebel T6S with 18-135mm IS STM for $750 (add 55-250 for $80 more)
One may need to set aside half a day (exaggeration alert) to navigate the clumsy and plodding Canon USA outlet website but if you plod through like a fullback in spring practice, you may find some good offers. For example, if you are interested in the latest D-Rebel T6S with the 18-135mm IS STM lens (instead of the 18-55), you can get that in manufacturer refurbished condition with a 1-year warranty for $750.
On the other hand, if you prefer a two-lens kit, you can get it with the 18-135 IS STM and 55-250 IS STM with a 1-year warranty on everything for $830. So $80 more gets you the 55-250mm lens.
PSA: Beware of trending Scam on Amazon from “Before Purchasing Contact Us” 3rd-party sellers
Beware of a new trending scam at Amazon, on listings of new and/or highly desirable products, scam artists are listing the product as 3rd-party sellers with significantly lower prices, and asking people to contact them before buying from Amazon. This violates various Amazon marketplace rules, and it’s also a scam, because no one would sell a $2000 camera for $500 unless it’s a scam or fake or stolen or who knows what else.
Here’s an example from the Olympus E-M1 II listing. The sad thing is that if they keep on doing it, it may suggest that a small percentage of people who see these are actually gullible enough to bite, so, just like spam, it becomes a numbers game, the more listings they create, the more people will bite.
Here’s an “annotated” screenshot of a listing like that:
Amazon is removing them but more and more keep on cropping us, which may suggest they haven’t found a way yet to block them at the root of the problem. It is easy to sell items as a 3rd-party seller, and there are infinite email accounts available. The pros and cons of an open marketplace.
60% off Custom Photo Books, Cards, Calendars at Amazon Prints with coupon
The ever-expanding Amazon expansion this year includes their recently launched photo prints service, and for a limited time, coupon code HOLIDAY gets you 60% off custom photo books, calendars and cards at the Amazon Prints store. This is semi-separate from Amazon in that you have to login separately but it’s using the same Amazon account. It’s similar to how they do their Cloud Drive and AmazonFresh and other services that are not part of the “mothership Amazon”. Or something like that.

Tokina 100mm f2.8 (Nikon) for $340 after $20 MIR [CORRECTED]
In-progress now is updating the Holiday Shopping Situation Room. I am removing both expired offers and also offers that lingered there since Cyber Monday. The idea is now that the Black-Cyber week is over, to make this more lightweight and robust.
That updating brought a new discount with it, in addition to the previously mentioned Canon D-Rebel drops, the Nikon mount version of the Tokina Tamron 100mm f2.8 (Nikon) is down to $340 after $20 MIR (mail-in rebate) at Adorama. It was $350 AR before. It also gets 4% promotional rewards, which dropped $0.40 since the price drop, now around $14.40~ to be used in future Adorama purchases.
BLANKET CORRECTION: this is a Tokina lens, not a Tamron lens. Who knows how many other times I wrote this as Tamron 🙂 Thanks to Mike for pointing it out in the comments! I always get Tamron and Tokina confused 🙂 Of all the names, they both picked six-character T-names with the only difference being two characters in each (“mr” vs “ki”).
