Deal Details
Greentoe accepted my offer of $525, again you'll receive it from an authorized dealer, and $525 is an out the door price, no tax, and free shipping.

Try to shoot for lower but I think this is a great price. Optics is great and distortion is very well controlled. This is an all in one lens that has all popular range covered, imagine 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, (40mm is almost close to 50mm) at f2.8 all in one lens. Size is compact which is great for traveling, family pictures, street photography and pairs well with a7C cameras.

Personally sold my Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 for this, I don't usually go at 17mm and it has more noticeable distortion.

I chose this over the 28-75mm G2 since I don't usually use 50-75mm, If I do then I just walk or crop, or do super35 mode. if you needed wider than 28mm, you're out of luck.

FYI, Greentoe NOW price is $597 for comparison.

Posting about accepted Greentoe offers is like posting about winning an eBay auction. Just doesn't happen here. Please stop?

No, totally different. Ebay auctions are usually single items. Greentoe is usually multiple quantities and if one price gets accepted then mostly the other offers will also get accepted.

I've posted Greentoe accepted price before, I don't see any issues especially others are reporting that they are getting better accepted offers. At least we have a starting point, so everyone will have an idea on how much to offer.

It is way too YMMV. Could be you got an offer accepted after a month of back and forth, could be one retailer on that platform happens to have one copy that they think has been sitting for too long. I would call these singular datapoints not deals
We won't know until everybody else try and report back.

But last Greentoe deal I posted got some reports of getting the same or better accepted offers. https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/14720591

from my experience greentoe datapoint would 1000% better than walmart YMMV deal with brickseek in stock datapoint.

At least I wasted maybe a full tank gas towards walmart and got nothing but showing in-stock.
Greentoe may just cost you some gmail space.

I would wait. I usually do a 3 day wait before i adjust my offer. I was countered higher than the NOW price but I checked this morning and someone accepted the offer. I placed the initial offer last night.

I appreciate the data point! It's tempting, but I have shot some great landscapes with my 17–28 and can't give it up.

Thanks for sharing! Even though it's YMMV, it still helps potential buyers like me.

If people start posting their Greentoe accepted offers here and they make frontpage, that would only drive the prices up. Retailers are not going to sell thousands of units at such deep discounts.

I'd still share it, at least some people will get the low offers before Retailers raise the price (if they will), another thread discussed about still getting profit anyways they just can't sell them because of MAP pricing.

If I didn't share, how would others know, and at least have an idea where to start? Greentoe NOW price at $597 is a deal, but getting it for $525 is slick. I'll keep posting.
