eBay Frenzy: EOS 6D for $1349 (Import) at BigValueInc

Posted October 7, 2014 at 11:47 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 24 comments.

Today’s eBay frenzy deal is another great deal from BigValueInc. They have the Canon EOS 6D for $1349.99. This ties for the lowest price seen for this body new (note this is likely import version, but has WiFi and GPS).

BigValueInc is a reputable unauthorized dealer who has been a source of reliable deals over the last few years. They have a 98.9% feedback score on high-value Canon items.

This is an import version (physically identical to the US model, but not intended for the US market). A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, so the store provides a warranty instead. If you instead prefer an authorized USA dealer with full Canon USA warranty, consider our street price of $1439 AR from an authorized dealer, only $90 more (but please note we’re unable to get the street price order shipped until next week, due to the store closings).

EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105L IS Kit Digital SLR Camera

$2667.04

Deal Expired

This super hot frenzy deal is back! BigValueInc via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105mm f/4L IS Kit for only $2899.99. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on a brand new (import) 5D Mark III + 24-105mm. The previous low was $3080 during Black Friday 2013.

We saw this deal a few weeks ago (through their alternate store name ElectronicsValley) and we’re pleased to report all positive reader feedback and not a single bad experience.

A white-box 24-105mm typically goes for $600, so this is like getting a 5D Mark III for only $2299 — an incredible price.

BigValueInc is a reputable unauthorized dealer who has been a source of reliable deals over the last few years. They have a 98.9% feedback score on high-value Canon items, including a perfect feedback record on the previous 5D Mark III + 24-105mm sale.

This is an import version (physically identical to the US model, but not intended for the US market). A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, so the store provides a warranty instead. After one year, your kit becomes the same as every other Canon USA warranty kit: if you need service you will need to pay Canon for it (and Canon will gladly service an grey/import model if you pay for service). Compare with our street price of $3299 AR from an authorized dealer. Transactions on eBay have been generally safe as you can rely on eBay Protection, PayPal Protection, and credit card protection.

EOS SL1 + 18-55 IS STM + PIXMA PRO-100 for $479 AR at Adorama

EOS Rebel SL1 with 18-55mm Kit (Black) + PIXMA PRO-100 + EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III Bundle

$399.00

Deal Expired

Another good bundle deal from Adorama: they have the EOS Rebel SL1 with 18-55mm Kit (Black) bundled with the PIXMA PRO-100 for $479.95, after a $350 Canon mail-in rebate.

Click here to check out the deal at Adorama. This is a good deal as it’s really close to the lowest-ever seen price for the SL1 + 18-55mm IS STM new from an authorized dealer (which was $460 in December 2013), and you get a free printer.

The other Adorama bundle deal, the EOS 70D + Printer for $799 AR is still live. That’s a lot of camera for the price.

Upcoming Store Closings (October 8th – 20th), Including Street Price

These closures also impact street price orders, please ensure these orders are placed no later than Tuesday at noon to allow them to be processed and shipped prior to the closures.

Warning: Canon Changed the PIXMA PRO-100 Mail-in Rebate Value

Posted October 2, 2014 at 12:39 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 0 comments.

A couple days ago we posted the oddity that the mail-in rebate for the Printer + paper was increased to $350, as can be seen on the original rebate form. At the time, both B&H and Adorama were showing the printer at $48 AR.

It looks like this appears to have been a mistake on Canon’s part, and they have quietly gone and re-issued new rebate forms with a value of $250 for Printer + Paper purchases (you can still get $350 if you buy Printer + Paper + Camera). See the new form on B&H’s site. B&H and Adorama have increased their prices to show $148 AR now.

It’s possible you could try to argue for the $350 rebate if you’ve already purchased just the printer + paper (and for that reason we’ll keep a copy of the original rebate form online), but Canon may just remind you that the rebate fine print says they’re “not responsible for … misprints or typographical errors.” Shame on Canon for not getting this right the first time.

Live Once Again: EOS 70D + PIXMA PRO-100 for $799 AR Adorama

EOS 70D + PIXMA PRO-100 Bundle

$679.00

Deal Expired

This really hot bundle deal is live again, for the third time:

Adorama has a bundle of the EOS 70D and PIXMA PRO-100 for only $799.00, after a $350 mail-in rebate. You also get free photo paper, a bag, and a 32GB Lexar SD card.

This is a new rebate period so you are eligible for this deal even if you bought a printer last month.

Click here to check out the deal at Adorama. This is the lowest ever price seen on the EOS 70D. This is an incredible deal as the EOS 70D has a MAP price of $1099; even our street price is $939.

(The bundle shows up as a single item in your shopping cart, but includes the camera and the printer. Price before rebate is $1149, then you get a $350 rebate to net $799.)

Canon Mail-in Rebate: 24-70 II for $1799 AR, 70-200 II for $1949 AR

	EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Street Price	$1679.00 Deal Expired

	EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Street Price	$1699.00 Deal Expired

It’s been two days since Canon started a mail-in rebate on 27 lenses. Thus far, the most popular street price lens deals in the new rebate have been the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II for $1949 AR and the 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1799 AR.

The rebate also renewed the $200 mail-in rebate on the EOS 5D Mark III ($2699 AR) and the EOS 6D ($1439 AR).

Finally, one oddity: the rebate form shows an increased rebate this month, from $300 to $350, on the PIXMA PRO-100 Printer + Paper. This makes the printer $48 AR at B&H or Adorama — but perhaps we’ll see a price drop before the month is up?
