This a hot double-dip deal: BuyDig via eBay has the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM for $749.00 (after a $150 mail-in rebate). This ties for the cheapest price that we’ve ever seen for this lens. BuyDig is an authorized dealer.

This is a fantastic price for a stellar lens. This is latest in a series of double-dip deals, where stores discount by the amount of the mail-in rebate, effectively doubling it. Finally we see our double-dip on the 100L Macro! We’re still waiting for a 85L or 70-200 II double-dip!

UPDATE: There have been questions about rebate eligibility. BuyDig is an authorized dealer, thus it is eligible for the rebate. BuyDig also even mentions the rebate in the title of the eBay listing. Also, your receipt will be from BuyDig and won’t mention eBay.

Today’s eBay Daily Deal: BuyDig via eBay has the Tamron AF18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD for Canon for $299.00, net price after rebate and gift card. BuyDig is an authorized Tamron dealer, and this is the absolute cheapest we’ve seen it ever!

Here’s how the deal works: BuyDig via eBay is listing the lens for $459, but also bundles in a $90 gift card. (In the past, when they have previously offered “gift cards” they later just deduct the value off the purchase price, this is just to get around MAP, but you may want to contact the seller to ensure this is what they are doing.)

There’s also a $70 mail-in rebate for this lens. This makes your net price is $459 – $90 – $70 = $299.

Deal Expired

We’ve been watching this deal and it’s about to sell out: the Canon Direct Store has the refurbished EOS 6D for 20% off! It’s now $1215.36, use coupon code “ZOMBIE2143”. As of posting they now have only 36 left in-stock. They started the week with almost a thousand, and have sold over a hundred each day.

This is a fantastic deal for this full-frame camera, especially now that Canon refurbished EOS bodies have a one-year manufacturer warranty. The best new price that we’ve seen (from an authorized dealer) for the 6D was a recent deal at $1574 — this price is over $350 lower!

Also at the Canon Direct Store, this great paper deal just got restocked: Buy 1 pack 4×6″ Plus Glossy II Photo Paper and get 9 packs free! With this deal you’d be getting 1000 sheets of really glossy, premium 4×6″ paper for $18.99 (less than 2¢ per photo). You also get a free photo album book. The Canon Store offers free shipping on paper purchases above $50.

This double-dip is back: Adorama has the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM for $1259.00 (after a $180 mail-in rebate). They’re also giving a 4% reward, a free filter kit, and a 16GB flash drive. You need to start checkout to see this price.

UPDATE: Some of the bonuses expired, but still 4% reward.

Both B&H and Best Buy also have this price, but with less bonuses.

These are the latest in a series of double-dip deals, where stores discount by the amount of the mail-in rebate, effectively doubling it. We’re still waiting for a 85L, 100L Macro, or 70-200 II double-dip!

By popular request, we added a new feature — we now show the inventory/stock count of the Canon Direct Store. You can see the inventory counts in the green deal boxes on main page posts (under the price), or on the Refurb Stock Tracker in the “Last in Stock” column.

For example, the refurbished EOS 6D for 20% off deal at $1215.36 has 215 in-stock at time of posting. Use coupon code “ZOMBIE2143” to activate this deal. We’ve been watching hundreds get bought per day since the sale began. At this rate, it will sell out before the sale ends on Saturday evening.

This feature will be useful if lenses restock — some restocks are bigger than other, and now you’ll know if they’re stocking just one copy, or hundreds. In the future we’ll also include the inventory/stock count information in the e-mail notifications.

Deal Expired

This deal is back: Roberts Camera via eBay has the optically-stabilized Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM for Canon for $429.99. They’re an authorized Sigma retailer, and this ties for the cheapest price from an authorized dealer that we’ve seen since tracking this lens in 2011.

Compare with other authorized retailers who are currently asking $569 for this lens. This lens was due for a price-drop as the Canon equivalent EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS saw a price drop from $1059 to $829 over the last few months. At a little more than half the price, this Sigma version is a fantastic deal.
