Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Adorama has another sale on refurbished camera gear with over 100 items participating. Nikon has about half of them, and Epson about a quarter of them. I will “digest” them later in the day, but I’m posting this alert so you don’t have to wait for me if you feel like deal-fishing.
PS: as of 3:48pm ET, a number of big websites and services (eg Twitter) are currently down because of major DDoS attacks. Of shopping interest, Stacksocial is down.
The official BuyDig eBay store is running a new promotion, Buy One Item, Get The Second One for 10% off. A total of 49 certified refurbished cameras and lenses are participating including Nikon DSLR lenses, the Olympus E-M5 and E-M10 Mark IIs, the E-PL5, various Nikon APS-C dSLRs up to the D7200, and a few Coolpixes too up to the P900 uber-zoom.
NOTE: you must purchase two items for this promotion. The discount will be applied to the LOWEST PRICE ITEM, so strategically this promotion maximizes your savings if the two items are as close in price as possible.
