Because that requires the purchase of the Pro9500 printer, $350 more than the printer in this deal. So it ends up $250 ... (more)

The printer has $100 instant rebate, so the final price for printer 9000 is 349. Now the combined $400 MIR states "Neither... (more)

What do you think of this deal?

This deal is about as easy to do as it is for the Mets to get to the World Series.


So this one needs a tiny bit more explanation since there are a few different qualifying rebates.

Buy the PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II from B&H - Receive a $200 AMEX gift card - LINK

Printer Only:
PIXMA @ B&H = $349.00 - AMEX Gift Card = $200.00 + Free Shipping = $149.00

(Pro9000 Mark II with Digital SLR Rebate Receive a $400 American Express Reward Card by mail when you purchase a new Canon DSLR Camera and the PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II Printer from B&H or bhphotovideo.com)


DSLR + Printer Options:

Canon 5D MkII - $2199.00 + $349.00 (PIXMA) - $400 AMEX GC = $2148
Canon 7D - $1549.00 + $349.00 (PIXMA) - $400 AMEX GC = $1498
Canon 60D - $899.99 + $349.00 (PIXMA) - $400 AMEX GC = $848
Canon T2i - $549.00 + $349.00 (PIXMA) - $400 AMEX GC = $498
Canon T3 - $499.00 + $349.00 (PIXMA) - $400 AMEX GC = $448
Canon T3i - $618.00 + $349.00 (PIXMA) - $400 AMEX GC = $567


According to the rebate form, you have to buy from B&H.


Both transactions need to be on the same receipt too. Other stores are running a similar deal too buy only bh is running the printer at that price.


The printer alone is a great deal. $149 is well worth the effort needed to mail in a rebate.

???


I'm including the fact that you'd probably want to sell the printer to get the cost of the camera down even further.


Sounds interesting but note:

1. printer selling for $180-220 on eBay. I'd figure $200 less eBay fees leaves $180.
2. OP is listing lens + body, third post lists body only which explains difference in prices
3. tax in NY on the package will be over $75

For me:

T3i: $618 (camera body) + $349 (printer) + $83 (tax) - $400 (rebate) - 180 (printer sale) = $470
T2i: $549 + 349 + 77 - 400 - 180 = 395

Other option is Canon loyalty program to get a refurb:

http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/849344/

T3i: $480 + 41 (tax) + 15 (buy non-working camera on eBay) = 536
T2i: $384 + 33 + 15 = 432

I would call this a hot deal, hotter if you can avoid the sales tax!


Yeah Canon loyalty program is amazing. My MkII will be here today and it was $1407. Crazy good deal.


I'd give OP green if he were to update the thread topic to be more accurate / reasonable. For example:

Canon T2i 18-55mm kit w/ Pro9000 Mark II for $598 AR + tax (sell printer on eBay) - B&H


Just bought a refurb XS from Canon for 320 but now I found this so return on the other deal

Updated.


Also for anyone looking to add a few lenses.

The 70-300mm comes with an instant $250 rebate when bundled with a Camera body or Kit
The 55-250mm comes with an instant $150 rebate when bundled with a Camera body or Kit
The 75-300mm Comes with an instant $100 rebate when bundled with a Camera body or Kit

The base price on the lenses is not that great, so you probably would not make a lot of money if you sold them off, but you could add a few nice lenses for a very good price.

I've gotten basically the same deal (T3 kit, 70-300mm, 75-300mm, 55-250mm) on Amazon for as low as $825 total. Right now you can get the same kit and lenses for just over $1000 on B&H

If you bundled the printer it would be $951 after rebate, Maybe $750-775 if you did good on reselling the printer. Not too shabby


no way you'd walk away with $200 after ebaying the printer. Maybe $175 tops. Probably less. eBay, paypal and shipping fees eat up at least 25-30% or more nowadays. eBay's upped their final value fees (plus charge them on shipping - if you happen to charge for shipping). This printer is big and heavy. Plan to double box if you can. Helps prevent shipping damage.


Target has T2i kit on clearance for $489.99 and you can find many stores have them in stock to avoid all the rebate/re-sell.


I did the printer thing last year from Canon's similar rebate last yr. Ignoring the paypal and eBay fees, the most expensive thing is shipping the sucker out. It could easily cost somewhere between $35-$45 ground, depending on the final destination. Make sure buyer pays for shipping. I vaguely remember the printer weighs around 42 lbs.

Shipping would be easily $60+

I agree and the net profit will be ~75


I doubt I will do this deal because of the hassle, but FYI eBay fees are around 10% plus another 2.5% for Paypal. In this case it would run around $25 altogether. Would make sure to include accurate shipping cost paid by buyer.

Second that.
thebay kills the deal!!

Updated.
No it isn't. Still says "Canon T2i 18-55mm kit w/ Pro9000 Mark II & Free Shoulder Bag for $486.57 AR"


Nikon D3200 or Sony A57 are better than T2i.
T2i is old model, hard to resell now.

You need to inflate the shipping cost because eBay charges the 9% fee on that too. Its ridiculous.


Whats the deal with $500 rebate? I read it and can't see why you would go for the $400 one.

Because that requires the purchase of the Pro9500 printer, $350 more than the printer in this deal. So it ends up $250 more AR.


The printer has $100 instant rebate, so the final price for printer 9000 is 349. Now the combined $400 MIR states "Neither the Pro9000 Mark II nor the Pro9000 Mark II and Digital SLR American Express Reward Card offers can be combined with any other printer offer or promotion". Do you guys think the $400 MIR will work?


Thanks. I picked up the printer. Printer deal is dead -- $449 now. $449 - $200 Rebate = $249. At that price, you can buy this printer anywhere else between $200 - $250 and not deal with a rebate.
