Semi-Curated Nikon Sale on eBay (300 items)

eBay is currently having a semi-curated Nikon Camera Gear sale featuring around 300 items, a mix of new and refurbished, authorized and not. Unfortunately I am not a 64-thread AI, so I can’t “digest” 300 items on the fly, so this is a YMMV adventure if interested in Nikon gear.

PS: I call it “semi-curated” because I don’t know how this gets assembled (how much human and how much computer input).

Refurbished Nikon 55-300mm f4.5-5.6G ED DX VR w/90-day warranty for $189

Back to the eBay Top 100 Deals we geaux, where BuyDig’s eBaY StoRe striKes again with another manufacturer-refurbished Nikon product with a 90-day warranty, it is the Nikon 55-300mm f4.5-5.6G ED DX VR [corrected] going for $189 with free shipping with a limit of five per customer.

PS: now that we are posting more posts per day, if you want to quickly catch up on something specific, you can use the Categories and Tag links below each post, for example, this eBay Camera Deals tag will show you all the previously posted eBay deals. I manually add these tags to each post, so human miscategorization errors are statistically unavoidable 🙂

Imported Nikon 50mm f1.8G for $168

More imported camera gear action at the eBay Deals, with a Nikon prime. eBay seller “PhotoVideo4Less” (99.9%, Brooklyn::NewYork) is offering the new condition imported Nikon 50mm f1.8G lens for $168 with free shipping. There is no warranty mentioned in the eBay listing, so assume it gets no warranty.

This lens goes for $218 with free accessories at authorized Nikon USA dealers such as B&H Photo and Adorama (including the Corel software bundle). So it’s up to you to trade off the manufacturer warranty and the free accessories versus paying $50 less.

Refurbished Nikon DSLRs and Lenses (37 options)

They come with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty… These too are part of their Warehouse Clearance sales

Imported Nikon 50mm f1.8D for $99 w/free S&H

The action continues when you scroll further down the eBay Deals (it can take half a day to go through them all). If you are going to take a chance on an imported grey-market lens, a simple prime lens with a double figure price is about as low of a risk one can take.
