Wow, too bad there are only 2 70-200s left 🙁
There were 4 earlier today. Can you say frenzy? I think they will last about 40 seconds. 🙂
Yeah, I’m not that quick!
No 85L? I guess I just have to settle for the 135L.
85L will be on sale too, but it is currently out of stock.
wow… 🙁 i was too late
Are these the discounted prices or is there a further 20% off on these
We are showing the discounted prices; the Canon site will show them after midnight.
It seems they INCREASED the price of the 7D then offered the 20%. The camera was actually cheaper BEFORE the sale!
There was a 30% off refurbished bodies sale before this 20% off bodies/lenses/flashes sale.
Yes, the 70D was 30% off last week, as we posted:
http://www.canonpricewatch.com/blog/2014/03/30-off-eos-7d-refurbished-839-or-951-with-28-135mm-is/
I was disappointed I bought the tamron 70-200 until I saw there were only two left
Well with only 2 available, I guess they are saving me from myself!
There’s not a lot of stock at the beginning of the sale, but this seems to be Canon’s new way of being “fair” on refurbished sales, rather than have a massive feeding frenzy at their sale start time (which is regularly Sunday at midnight ET).
The last few sales we saw stock magically show up in the middle of the week — Monday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon, if I recall correctly. About 5-30 of most of the popular lenses, and they would sell out within an hour.
My recommendation would be to set a notification on the specific items you are interested in, and play the roulette game to see if you can land it when it restocks.
Do we need a code?
when I check out the 70-200 IS II , it did not give me 20% off…
The sale hasn’t started yet. As the post says, try again at midnight Eastern Time.

Sold out in 1 sec.
The 70-200 ii that is..
It doesn’t get added to cart. Some bug? Shows in stock, but doesn’t get added to the cart!
That means it’s already gone — it lasted about 60 seconds…
It still shows in stock. And I added it within the first 60 seconds I think. Well, whatever. Tough luck!
less than 60 secs. i seemed to add one of the 70-200 IS ii to my cart but then it did not allow me to checkout. Still shows as in my cart. disappointment…wonder if a screen shot would help me with a Canon Customer Service rep…
This was completely frustrating…. I think there’s a bug with the site. The 135L was supposed to be in stock and it let me add to the cart only to take it out at checkout. I was trying this every 30 seconds and on multiple windows.
I think the 135L is bugged.
Yup, same here. No same situation even now. Have shot off an email to customer support. God knows if they will take a look at it. 🙂
Just curious, is your stock tracker real time? It says there are 3 14mm primes in stock but the lens isn’t listed on Canon’s site. However, if I use your link the lens shows up and I can add it to my cart, but when I go to check out it says my cart is empty. Same thing with the 135mm f2.
The tracker is real time. The 135L and 14L appear to be two lenses that are broken on their site, in that the listing is still there but it is inactive and doesn’t let you check out.
No Gramoz Ramadani, Chad Holt, Rob Lynn, Joey Ulrich, Yuriy Belenitsky, Tiffany Berardinelli, Laura Bossi, and I know I’m missing a few…you can’t have all of these!
Wow, if I hadn’t totally just bought myself the Canon 10-22 wide angle (which I am in love with)…but alas, that is my one allowable camera purchase of the year, haha.
oh boy!!! bummer i was asleep!!
Damn…I would like to pick up the 24-70ii.
Just don’t understand the “feeding frenzy” on these refurb “sales”. Canon is making a killing on a “used” item and everybody is foaming at the mouth over saving a couple hundred bucks over brand new. o.O
They come with a full 1-year Canon warranty, just like new, and most of them are pretty close to brand new. The speculation is most are store returns.
And they come in cheaper than most used lenses on a secondary market. But you still get the warranty! How can you not like that? 🙂
Too bad everything good is sold out. Wth
Refurb bashers are akin to brand fanatics. I have had 3 refurb bodies, all with under 100 clicks and 6 lenses all perfect with many not needing any AFMA
No Canon 5D Mark III 🙁
Frakking 135L glitch
Taeck Jang 형 이거바바요 ㅋㅋㅋ
Always a catch…. :-/
well looks like all of the good shit is gone
Good thing I was able to grab one of the 10-22mm before it was sold out.
Yeah — that one lasted longer than expected, to be honest. I expected it to go in an hour, they only had 44 in-stock.
Well, glitch or no glitch, I called them up first thing this AM and no 135L in stock. Sad how CPW’s tracker is more accurate than Canon, haha.
Someone should point them to that page on their site and ask them why they still show it “in stock”…
of course no 70-200 2.8 is
A *huge* YMMV but I think I found a way to still complete checkout on the 135L and 14L, or any other “hidden” item. I just tested it up to the last checkout page but since I’m not interested in buying them I didn’t complete.
If you’re interested please contact me.
I expect response to be overwhelming and there’s only 3 and 4 of these so I will do this first-come first-serve.
Again, huge YMMV as they can cancel your order…
I should add, please contact me by contact form.
There’s one more 135L and one more 14L. Some people have already gotten shipping notices. 🙂
Contact me.
