eBay Frenzy: 5D Mark III $2559 — Now With Free 3 Year Warranty

AllNewShop via eBay must not have been selling many Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2559.99 (import version) so they’ve now added a Free 3-Year Extended Warranty to their deal. This is part of the on-going eBay Deal Frenzy!

AllNewShop via eBay is not an authorized dealer, but they are one of the most reliable unauthorized dealers — they’re the same company as Get It Digital, and their new additional extended warranty actually looks pretty decent. They claim their warranty is serviced at authorized repair centers only, no hidden fees, can be even serviced overseas, and even comes with a free annual cleaning.

Again, the bodies in today’s sale are import versions as they clearly write in the listing description. As usual you can read our explanation of authorized, unauthorized, and grey market.

If you bought yesterday before the listing was changed you may want to ask if you can also get the 3-year warranty added for free too!

NEW UPDATE: Some of our readers have received this — they are reporting it’s brand new with Canon USA warranty cards in the box! Also, many people are calling today and they are now telling people it’s USA warranty card. (But don’t take our word for it; call and ask yourself: 1-877-254-6155.)

UPDATE: We have now had two reports of our readers receiving a brand new 6D+24-105mm but with no warranty card in the box.

BestStopDeals via eBay has the Canon EOS 6D with 24-105 Kit for $1899.99. This is part of the on-going eBay Deal Frenzy.

BestStopDeals is not an authorized dealer, but a quick call confirms that they are selling US model with Canon US warranty cards in this deal. (Call to confirm: 1-877-254-6155.) Free shipping is included, and they only charge sales tax to New Jersey.

They have 98.6% positive feedback, which is not as good as the top unauthorized dealers, but is still overwhelmingly positive. Compare with $2299 at authorized dealers.

It’s the same price as the BuyDig “Refurbished” deal but without the free Lightroom 5.

AllNewShop via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $2559.99. This deal is back, as part of an eBay Deal Frenzy!

AllNewShop via eBay is not an authorized dealer, but they are one of the most reliable unauthorized dealers — they’re the same company as Get It Digital.

The retailer has let us know that the bodies in today’s sale are import versions (not USA model like their last sale, too bad!) but they are still covered at a minimum by a store warranty for 12 months. They explicitly and clearly write this in the listing description as well. As usual you can read our explanation of authorized, unauthorized, and grey market.

In applying a refurbished discount the Canon Direct Store has made a mistake and is also applying this discount to all new ultra-wide-angle zoom lenses. This is a likely a price mistake.

Until they fix it, you can take advantage of a discount on five UWA zoom lenses, including a rare discounted pre-order on the two recently announced lenses. Add to cart to see discount.

UPDATE: This has been fixed, this deal is now dead.

The other three improperly discounted include:

Pre-orders at the Canon store also come with a commemorative “100 Million EF Lenses” t-shirt.

Canon Refurb Sale: $125 off $500, $50 off $250 Bodies & Lenses

The Canon Direct Store started a sale tonight on refurbished lenses, speedlites, and EOS bodies: $125 off a purchase of $500, $50 off a purchase of $250. On a $500 item, that is up to 25% off. Add to cart to see the discount.

This sale is best on items that are just over $500 or $250. The only good deal worth writing about is the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM for $394.99, which is a necessary discount considering the newly announced EF-S 10-18mm at $299.

As usual, check out our refurbished stock tracker to see what’s available.

Also, the Canon Direct Store seems to have a price mistake where they’ve applied the discount on selected new lenses — the 17-40L for $614 new AR and 16-35mm f/2.8L II for $1374 AR.

Beach Camera via eBay has a bundle of the EOS 5D Mark III, EF 50mm f/1.4 USM, and BG-E11 Battery Grip for 5D Mark III for $3299.00, after a $200 mail-in rebate.

This is a fantastic deal; if you conservatively value the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM at $300, and the BG-E11 Battery Grip for 5D Mark III at $250 (both below current new prices) this is like getting a 5D Mark III brand-new from an authorized dealer for only $2750.

If you’re not interested in the extras we have two street prices available:

Both prices include shipping, are after rebate, and are US model from US authorized dealers. For the street prices, fill out the contact form in the yellow box on the product page.
