Deal Details
I was looking to buy Canon R5 and its listed $3899 everywhere. AbesofMaine has it for $3649 + Coupon (loyalty25) for $25 discount.
Also it says on the site it does not charge tax for outside NJ, which saves a good bit of money depending on where you live.

If anyone has any better coupons, please do post.

"Is Abe's of Maine an Authorized Dealer?
We carry a variety of name brand products, some of which we ARE an Authorized Dealer & some of which we are NOT an Authorized Dealer. If you do not see the "Authorized Dealer" logo on the product detail page then we are NOT authorized for those products. Some notable manufacturer's that we are NOT Authorized Dealer for include Canon, LG, Nikon, Panasonic, Tamron, Sigma, Samsung & Sony."

Seems like they are not an authorized dealer so may not be covered by warranty.

any potential buyers would be well advised to do some research on these characters before buying ANYTHING. check bbb ratings, etc. this place is very well known for severe upselling, and dishonest sales techniques.

I copied this from their site:

"SKU #: CNEOSR5 | Manufacturer Part #: 4147C002

Brand New Factory Fresh Import Model"

Be aware you may not get Canon warranty support for "grey" models:

I still shoot with a camera that is years old and get good results. Check it out at www.labofnoyzes.com

Wait for an official price drop

The author forgot to mention this is an import model, not the USA, so I assume it will not carry a USA warranty as well.

why did you decide to downgrade? any specific reason? I'm looking for my first mirrorless, and it seems the R3 is the best and then R5.

and where did you buy it from?
TIA

I mainly shoot photos.. don't do much videos. R6 is reasonable priced and photo specs are pretty much in line with R5 except megapixels. Actually reviews says R6 is better in low light than R5. If you are videographer, I would go with R5c. We rented an R5 for video but it kept overheating.
It all depends on your budget and what you are going to use it for.

Stay FAR AWAY from Abe's of Maine and their bait and switch bullshit. You'll never get what you thought you were buying. They'll give you grey market products. If you try to cancel your order after the bait and switch, they charge you 10% for absolutely nothing but giving you a headache.
