wow body with 18-135 for less than 1k. not bad at all

While you'll probably be fine with the rebate, the language could be a bit dicey in regards to a site like ebay

So there is a small risk you won't get the $400, but I imagine it would depend on how they do their receipt. If it says its from Beach Camera via Ebay that could be an issue. Someone who has gotten the rebate off an Ebay deal would have to confirm/deny.

Likewise, the Canon 60d and 18-135mm goes for $831+tax through Canon Loyalty, so, even though its refurbished (mine came with about 200 actuation's), it involves less risk and is cheaper

This is an ebay daily deal, not an auction or personal listing. I don't see why someone wouldn't get the rebate, I have seen tons of SLR deals on Ebay lately and they are legit

I got this deal for the 7d via ebay beach camera. No issues at all for rebate

where is the rebate link?

the cameras in the loyalty program only have 90 day warranty.

I'm thinking of buying this for just the body. Sell the lens for ~$200 but I'm not sure about the printer. I just checked CL and I see them listed for $150

Decisions, decisions

Rebate Link [152.254]

This is tempting. It's Beach Camera, so it still carries a warranty of a year, but it's a lot of work for it. It depends on what you can actually get for the Printer, and in my case, I'd sell the lens as well.


I'm thinking $1375 - $150 (printer sale) - $250 (lens sale) - $400 (mail in rebate) = $575 For the 60D Body. It's $687.14 after tax for for me for the Canon Loyalty, but that seems like a lot of work for $112 and 9 more months of warranty. I guess if I bought it with Amex, it's new and it would qualify for an additional year.

It's definitely tempting. Are the printer and lens selling prices realistic though?

I had this printer and all I could get was $90 for it. I live in a small apartment so keeping it wasn't an option. Maybe if I waited longer I could have got a little more, but it wasn't worth it to me. I'm just warning people to not expect to get a lot for this printer since the market is flooded with them. I'd recommend keeping it if you can since it's supposed to be great. It's just gigantic.

is amex extra warranty eligible for this? how is this not an ebay purchase?

If you live in or near a large city, the chances are the printers are available in abundant on CG but the chances of selling one for < $90 is good. If you don't have a large city nearby, you may not be able to find a buyer at all. Same goes for the lens. At best, you could get $200 for it.

1375 - 400 - 75 (lens) - $150 (lens) = 750 for the body.

I wouldn't recommend buying unless you absolutely need the lens(and the body). A lot of work is involved getting the rebate, selling the lens and the printer.
