Imported Sony a7S II body w/1yr seller warranty for $2400

The Sony a7S II body only goes for $3000 at authorized Sony USA dealers bundled with free items (eg free Lightroom 6 at Adorama).

On the other hand, if you are comfortable with grey-market products that get a 1-year warranty from the Seller, not the Manufacturer, among the latest Trending eBay Deals you can get the new condition imported grey-market Sony a7S II body only for $2400 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty from the seller, not Sony USA. Limit five per customer. The seller is “Electronics Valley” (99.6%, ships from Somerset, New Jersey).

YMMV Email Only: 1-Year of National Geographic Digital Subscription for $6

For people in their emailing list, National Geographic has a limited time offer getting you a 1-year Digital National Geographic subscription (not the printed magazine) for $6. The promotion appears to be built into in the individual email links, because I can’t get the link to load stand-alone on a browser without clicking to it first from the email. So YMMV.

Panasonic ZS100 Silver drops to $593

Zoom-zoom the whole world begins to zoom as the silver color scheme of the Panasonic ZS100 superzoom with RAW is down to $593 with free shipping instead of its usual price of $700 at Amazon by Amazon herself. This is not part of the lightning deals, so it could last somewhere between nanoseconds and eternity (in other words, I don’t know when the price will change ~ or if it will change).

100% Back in Rewards on 16pk of Duracell Single Use Alkalines (limit 2; ends Sat PM)

If you are a fan of the Office Depot and Office Max rewards and Duracell single use batteries, the 100% Rewards promotion is back on their 16-pack Duracell Coppertop single-use AA or AAA alkalines. You get 100% back on the purchase price (but not the sales tax) on up to two units. You can do one of each, or two of the same. The offer is good for orders placed online, or in-store or by phone or even by fax (!).

Online orders get free shipping if your order total is $35+. Also participating in the 100% promotion are Folgers ground coffee, with a limit of five. One of these will get you free shipping 🙂

You can see all the offers, and if you page down towards the bottom you will see the details and restrictions of each promotion at the Office Depot Rewards Offers page.

Note that Office Max Rewards do NOT roll. If you pay with your existing Rewards balance, you won’t get new rewards. So you have to pay for these with “new money” (credit, debit, cash, gift cards, store credit, barter) but NOT Office Depot Rewards certificates.

The promotion expires at the end of day on Saturday 4/30/16 (closing time for stores, 11:59pm assume Eastern to be on the safe side for online orders). If buying online, don’t wait until the last minute on Saturday as weekend nights can be computer maintenance hick-up time.

Fuji X10 Compact with RAW (black) for $300

If of the many compacts with RAW it is the black Fuji X10 the one you want, you can get it for $300 with free shipping by SSE Photo & Video thru Amazon. This ships directly from the seller (SSE Photo & Video) but if you are a Prime member, you will get Prime shipping benefits (this was a recently added benefit to Amazon Prime, select sellers offer free 2-day shipping on products purchased by Prime members ~ not sure how the cost is split between the seller and Amazon but that’s their behind the scenes thing, not the consumer’s)… Thanks to S.A. Anderson for the email alert on this…

PS: for the speed readers out there, this is the older Fuji X10 fixed lens camera, not to be confused with the newer Fuji X-T10 interchangeable lens camera.

Refurb Fuji XP80 for $90, refurb Instax Mini 8 for $50, new Canon SX530 HS for $190

Among the longer non-daily deals at Woot, there is a mini camera sale good until 4/28/16 at 12am central featuring three models:

+ new condition Canon SX530 HS superzoom for $190
+ refurbished yellow Fuji XP80 waterproof for $90
+ refurbished white Fuji Instax Mini 8 instant camera for $50

The limit is three of each camera per customer. Shipping is $5 flat for everything you buy from Woot in April 2016, so if you already bought something, you won’t pay shipping again in April 2016. This may be an experiment to try a monthly/annual membership or a competitive counter to the $5 per month Meh.com MVP plan (they funnily call is VMP rather ironically!).

Imported Fuji X-T10 body only with 1-Year seller warranty for $500

The Fuji X-T10 body only goes for $800 or for $900 with the 16-50 at authorized Fuji USA dealers (eg Adorama).

But if you are more of a risk taker, among the latest eBay Deals, seller “Electronics Valley” (99.5%, New Jersey) is offering the new condition imported grey-market Fuji X-T10 body only for $500 with free shipping, in black or silver, with a 1-year warranty from the seller (not from Fuji USA).

I don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but when buying imported items, don’t just buy them because it’s a much lower price. Make sure you are comfortable with the risks and trade-offs of such purchases. Ultimately you are the one who is going to have to sleep and live with the decision and as such, you are the ultimate decider of what’s an acceptable risk to take. (all apologies if this may sound a little Nanny-State-ish but some people may not be familiar with the whole imported vs authorized kerfuffle. In situations like this it is mayhaps better to err on the side of caution).
