Here are three great eBay grey market / import deals:
AllNewShop via eBay has the Canon EOS-1D X for $4199.99. This ties the lowest price that we’ve ever seen on this camera. We warn that the store does attempt to upsell. Stay firm and they will ship you a brand new Canon EOS-1D X, with a 1-year store warranty at this fantastic $4199.99 price. (Based on reader reports, Canon USA will still provide warranty service on grey bodies, but Canon USA can change this at any time.)
The deal from thepixelhub via eBay on the Canon EOS 6D for $1199.99 is still live — 80 bodies sold. This is the lowest EOS 6D price ever seen. Our authorized dealer street price of $1299 is only $100 more with a guaranteed Canon USA warranty (after the $300 Canon mail-in rebate).
There’s a new deal from Get It Digital via eBay. They have the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM for $607.49. Compare with our authorized dealer street price of $629 with a guaranteed Canon USA warranty.
Are these grey market deals to be trusted? I have researched it and heard a few negatives that made me reconsider.
Our readers have reported success with this, with no complaints, except the upsell call (stay firm). Also, if you make an “elective” return (i.e. decide you don’t want it), they charge a restock fee, so make sure you want this before buying.
