Deal of the Day - 3/1/11

Hello All,

Sellout.woot has a heck of a deal on a brand new Pentex DSLR for today only, $444.99 shipped to your door.  This highly rated entry level DSLR features

• A 2.7" LCD, with live view
• A 12.4 Megapixel sensor
• It will capture 720p HD video
• It shoots 4.7 shots per second

A neutral point in my mind is it uses AA batteries.  On the plus side you can get rechargeable batteries and you can find regular batteries anywhere.  The negative for me is that you waste space in the battery compartment on air and size when a custom battery would be smaller and last longer.  Other people put more weight on having AA batteries, if this is you then this is the camera for you.

The price is $55 less than Amazon.  You can find reviews here, here, and here.

You can find the actual camera here.

Deal of the Day - 1/28/11

Hello All,

Canon is selling their factory refurbished Canon EOS XSi 12.2-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera in Black with the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens, for $499.99 plus shipping and tax.  If you use code 121EOS the price drops to $349.99 and you a free camera bag. You can also score free shipping if you enter code FGSHIP.

This is a highly rated camera with a 3" LCD, 3.5 shots per second burst, live view, and DIGIC III image processing.  You can find reviews here, here, and here.

There is a full 90-day warranty from Canon on all the refurbished cameras they sell.  I purchased a G9 that was refurbished from Canon.  It works great to this day, and I could not tell it was refurbished outside of the box it came in; It was not as nice as the retail boxes, but who really cares about that.  Act fast if you want this deal, it will probably be sold out by tomorrow.

Find this camera here.

Hello All,

Happy New Year!  It has been a while since I last posted, but it is good to be back.  The deals business seems to be picking up again so there should be more posts to follow.  Today's post is about a video game, Uncharted II Game of the Year Edition.  I loved the first game and strongly recommend it to anyone who has not played it.  Walmart is selling II for $24.96 with free shipping to a store, or $.97 shipping to your house.

You can find this deal here.

Black Friday - Update #1

Hi All,

It is most magical time of the shopping year.  Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  To get you primed for Black Friday here are two sites to check out.

http://bfads.net/

http://www.black-friday.net/

If you do not want to be a crazy person and get up at 2 in the morning to wait in line in 21 degree temperatures let me give you a two secrets.

1. Most of the sales start on-line at midnight.  It is much easier to stay up late then wait in line.  This usually does not apply to doorbusters, but unless you want to wait overnight, you will not get those anyway.
2. Many stores will price match on Black Friday.  So lets say you wanted a TV that will be on sale on Friday, but you do not want to wait in line.  If they stock the TV regularly, not a guarantee with BF sales, you can buy it before Thursday then go back in at the tail end of the doorbuster time frame and do a price match.  This is very hit and miss, but most stores will do it.  If you really wanted to ensure this works and the store is being jerks about it you just return it during the time frame and have someone else come with you and they can buy it after you return it.  Given this is a pain in the butt, but so is waiting 6 hours in line.

Good luck on your sales.
