Adorama is selling 5d3 for $2745 on eBay now

Hey, any of you used their Bill Me Later payment method? I could be wrong but it says in the payment section that even through Bill Me Later, you have to pay in full (the full amount of $2700+) at the time of purchase. Or am I reading it wrong? :/

Sigh, it seems that offer is over now.

For future reference, you do not have to pay the full amount at time of purchase when checking out with Bill Me Later.  The purpose of Bill Me Later is to let you pay later.  Sounds like you didn't put an order because you didn't know for sure which is a total bummer.  Hopefully another deal comes along and you can pick yourself up one.

Just got my tracking number.  It will likely be picked up tomorrow though.  I guess the Adorama guys are all working hard today trying to fill those orders.

Honestly this has more to do with the Jewish holiday. Adorama probably doesn't sell much between now and Tuesday night anyways they boost sales with this deal and don't offend canon because it's sold through their eBay store.

Since Adorama does not close online sales over the Jewish holidays, how do you figure they make any difference??  B&H closes, but not Adorama.

Same. Crazy that they processed so many so swiftly. I was in the 600 range with my order. Now I get to watch the announcements tomorrow and see if I'm going to keep this body or sell it.

Glad you all who had the opportunity to pick this up were able to. Wish I was able lol.

Maybe B&H will respond with $2,699.00.  Price war!

Hahahaha that would be great, but we can dream on.

I had a chance to buy it yesterday, but was indecisive. I really want high iso, but high dynamic range sensor and it seems I'll have to wait for a while...
...so this morning I felt a bit sorry :-)

Yes, the retail store closes, but not their online store.  B&H shuts down the online sales too, but not Adorama.  Online is where most of their sales happen.

Darn, by the time I saw this thread the price has already gone back up to US$3459! They sold 818 units at $2745, it was almost like one body bought per minute!

I think it is possible. Again, I´d like to thank libertyranger, the guy who posted the first link. It was a party!

I am waiting new offers like this. Afterall, I will have to buy the lenses

What are the chances another price like this will come out for any retailers in the next month or two? Kicking myself I didn't pull the trigger
