It’s here, the eBay Black Friday 5D Mark III deal! Two deals from two reputable (but not authorized) dealers:

BigValueInc via eBay has it for $2399.99. (Tax only to NJ.)
AllNewShop via eBay has it for $2399.99. (Tax only to NY.)

This is the new lowest-ever price on the 5D Mark III. Both of these deals are for import models, where the store provides a 1-year store warranty — read our FAQ about imports models for answers to the usual questions about imports, warranty, unauthorized dealers.

This will likely be the lowest price of the season and we expect it to sell out. AllNewShop via eBay is the alternate store name for GetItDigital. Both dealers have a solid history of reliably delivering brand new bodies at great prices in previous sales — see their CPW eBay Feedback Score.

If you’re not comfortable with buying an import (even with your eBay and credit card protection) please consider our street price of $2599 after the $300 Canon mail-in rebate, from an authorized Canon USA dealer with full Canon USA warranty, only $200 more than this price.

UPDATE: This deal is now live.

We’re told (thanks!) that a eBay Frenzy Deal for the 5D Mark III will be showing up “sometime on Thanksgiving Day Eastern Time” and the price will be $2399. We could see the deal as early as midnight tonight ET. Set a notification.

We don’t know who the retailer is, but we expect it to be one of the two big players, either BigValueInc (99.4% CPW Score) or GetItDigital (99.2% CPW Score), or their alternate store names (AllNewShop or ElectronicsValley).

This price of $2399 will be the lowest price ever seen for an import 5D Mark III from a reputable (but unauthorized) eBay dealer. As with previous years, we expect this to be the lowest price of the season.

Quantities will be limited, and this deal will likely sell out. Last year, the $2445 deal started at 12 AM and sold out by 1:31 AM — 300 bodies in 90 minutes. If you want to catch it, please set a notification and we’ll e-mail you as soon as the deal starts.

Please note, this is an import model from an unauthorized dealer. For more details on the implications of this, please read our special FAQ on this topic. If you’re still not comfortable with it after reading that, please consider our street price of $2599 after the $300 Canon mail-in rebate, from an authorized Canon USA dealer with full Canon USA warranty, only $200 more than this price.
