EF 85mm f/1.8 USM for $299 BuyDig eBay (Likely Not “Refurbished”)


Another sneaky listing from BuyDig via eBay? They have the EF 85mm f/1.8 USM “manufacturer refurbished” for $299.99.

But the listing details give the catalog number as CN85USM, and the part number as 2519A003. The catalog number matches the brand new item on BuyDig’s site, and the part number is also the brand new part number (refurbished part is 2519A007, for your reference).

We think this is yet another “refurbished” sale where they are shipping new items — $299 would be the lowest price ever seen for a new EF 85mm f/1.8 USM from an authorized dealer. BuyDig only collects sales tax to NJ. The $50 instant rebate on the lens is likely converted to a mail-in rebate tonight.

    Is the current $50 Canon mail-in rebate valid on this “refurbished” lens?

      Doubtful, as your invoice will likely say “Refurbished” on it.

      You should be happy enough if you receive a brand new one for this price. 🙂

    Great Deal!! Thanks!!! Receipt does not list as refurbished and it says it qualifies for the $50.00 mail in rebate!! Had over $50.00 in Ebay Bucks so final net is under $200.00. WOO HOO

      Congrats, if so, that’s a great deal. Is that a receipt you received with your purchase in the package, or just the e-mail receipt?

    I actually I took the order number in my e-mail from buydig and linked it to my buydig account and was able to print a copy of the receipt and it actually says mail in rebate $50.00 and NO where on it does it mention refurbished!! I can send a copy of the receipt to you if you want. I took great info from your site and it PAID OFF!! Thanks. I am a daily “watcher” and appreciate all the deals! I think I have bought everything I own on deals from here. THANK YOU!!

      Fantastic. All you need now is the UPC from the box and you are set! Fingers crossed they are shipping brand new lenses in retail boxes, but I think they are!

    Did I miss the deal ?
    Did BuyDig increase the price ?

      BuyDig raised the price. Sorry.

      It’s now $319 after $50 MIR. Better than other stores but not as good as $299 or $249!
