Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Sony E $525

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?

First offer I made was given at the deal price…

I agree its dumb that mods put this front page immediately, but it's nothing like winning an ebay auction on a single item against other bidders. I don't recall seeing any brand new items from an authorized dealer selling things that are strictly Auction versus Buy it now or Best Offer.

Have. Never would bother anyone about that random arbitrary result.

You're missing the point of greentoe. You're getting an authentic, brand new USA authorized (not grey market) lens or camera from an authorized dealer in the U.S. with FREE SHIPPING and NO TAX if your offer is accepted.

Sure, the price may vary if your offer is accepted or not, but the no tax and free shipping beats eBay listings any day of the week.

Well... Someone's $520 off was just accepted. Yes it's not 100% but at least there's a good chance and doesn't need a lot of time/energy wasted if you're offer don't get accepted.

Let's list frontpage deals that are worse and some you can't even replicate
1. Student/EPP discount
2. Military/Medical discount
3. Member's only discount (Ex. Costco/Sam's)
4. In State (Ex. A deal in NYC only)
5. Brick and Mortar deals (as mentioned above you wasted gas and time and its not in stock)
6. Select stores (Ex. Microcenter deals)
7. Trade ins (Ex. Samsung trade in deals)
I can probably list some more...

If it's not for you then just move on. I don't understand why you need to hate on a deal that I bet you did not even put a bid yourself. If you can't replicate it that I understand, put a thumbs down, comment, whatever.

Yeah I said its nothing like winning an ebay "auction", just that it shouldn't have been front page immediately (before people could confirm they were also getting the deal). Did not know about no tax though, that definitely is a nice perk.

I bought Sony XM5 at GT for better than the best deal here on SD last December, but as soon as I posted about it, it was flagged, but apparently this GT deal is Okay.

How long did you have to wait? I waited at least 24 hours to get the offer accepted. Got it within a week of acceptance, playing around with it and loving it
