Tip: How to Get the 6D Mark II For Less than $800 Net, Brand New


Adorama‘s 6D Mark II Bundle for $949 AR deal is especially hot, thanks to all the free goods that are included in the deal. You get a free BG-E21 battery grip, a free PIXMA PRO-100 printer, LP-E6N battery, and photo paper. B&H has now matched.

With some legwork, you should be able to net a fantastic price for the camera, in brand new condition from a Canon authorized dealer with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. Start with the bundle deal from either Adorama or B&H. Next, gut the PIXMA PRO-100 printer for parts — don’t try to sell the entire printer. PIXMA PRO-100 print heads are reselling at around $90 and ink sets are stable at about $95. Net of shipping and selling fees you should make $140 from printer components, if all goes well.

How about the grip? eBay history shows that $80 is a fair resale price for the BG-E21 grip in New condition. Net of fees and shipping, that should make you about $55. Used dealer KEH Camera is offering about $37 (net, as it includes pre-paid shipping), which is a very pain-free and risk-free option. The market will get saturated quite quick, so we recommend locking your price in with a 2-minute quote at KEH Camera if you’re looking to sell. Keep the LP-E6N battery — it’s hard to resell (due to the numerous fakes floating around).

If all you care about is the camera, you should be able to net about $175-190 from selling components and pieces, and land at less than $800 for this fantastic camera, brand new, with the free 13-month CarePAK PLUS extended warranty as well!

Of course, your mileage may vary — and resale prices are subject to change as market conditions change.
