as of today (2008/10/02) it is 30%

30% off on eBay through Microsoft Live: Pentax SLR Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review

*** ATTENTION - 25% (may be more, but 25% is for sure there) MS cashback is BACK ***

so everybody who wants to get K20D for $250 ($250 is max
amount of cashback in one transaction) less go to live.com
and buy it from dealers selling on ebay / payment through paypal.

or certainly you can buy anything that you want.

WOO HOO!!

According to my calculation, you can buy a K20D body from Prodigital for $702.44 US. What a deal!

PENTAX K20D DIGITAL SLR BODY ONLY NEW with WARRANTY - eBay (item 140255994156 end time Aug-13-08 18:24:54 PDT)

If I just hadn't have bought a new lens (DA12-24), then I might would've snatched one of these up.

I hope that they keep these types of deals around for a while.

you can't buy from Prodigital - while they accept PayPal, they use 3rd party checkout... unless there is a change... I took a risk back in July and purchased from some brooklyn shop... it worked though, I got the camera w/o big hassle...

note that some people managed to get some coupons for ebay (like 10% off being the best one ?) that can be stacked.

I still don't understand how this works...someone mind elaborating??

OK, you need to be here (USA)

go to Live Search

type anything... like "D40" for example... hit the search button...

check if you can see the sponsored link to ebay w/ M$ Live CashBack icon - if not then
repeat searching for anything, etc... note that cashback % can be different - repeat searching until you will see at least 25%...

click the sponsored link - you will be redirected to ebay

search for the item w/ "buy now" price - buy it (do not forget
to creat m$ live account before or after)... be careful to buy
from reputable enough dealers (= search the item that you
want to buy before going to live.com and then research the seller)

cashback will be reported in your live.com account and in 60 days you
can get it to your paypal account... I have for example > $300 reported
for K20D and lens (2 transactions)

always read the rules, always study what people are saying about this
on Online Coupons | Cash Back and ***************

Is it the link at the top of the ebay page and also shown in the image of the first post? Or am I looking for a sponsored link on the same line as the item description?

still it is better than everything else - you will the new one,
even w/o rebate and ebay coupon for less than people selling used ones in our marketplace... the same goes for lenses and flashes.

eBay My World - cameraspot.com

is a more or less decent one and they have paypal checkout.

ryan s · 08-11-2008, 08:35 PM

Ok, I'm not a search noob by any means, but I can't get any sponsored links to show in either FF or IE (eww)...even with AdBlock allowing live.com free reign.

Someone locate me a Tamrac Adventure 9 in gray/blk and a Vanguard Elite 4 Tripod in CF pls lol...

not sure what is your problem - I type "D40" and get that icon ("Live Search Cashback") everytime... FFox v3 w/ cookies & javascript enabled for live.com domain.

nuqemie · 08-11-2008, 08:49 PM

Confirmed. It's too bad because Prodigital2K has the best camera bundles at the best prices. Others bundle memory cards, cases, and other things I don't want. Actually, PD2K's every day price isn't that much higher than the 25% reduction after the rebate from other stores.

$940 - prodigital2000

$1070 - Cameta Camera (I did not try their checkout) - more or less reputable shop

$999 - Hotdigital (= Focus Camera) - this is the one I purchased from back in July... use at your own risk, Brooklyn shop... they did not delay the order and did not call to sell extra crap...

I type D40 but don't get that "sponsored" box, at all...I'm still with FF2, although I made sure to allow live.com in AdBlock...

well, type something else - it really does not matter for as long as you click the icon to go to eBay.
