I must have gotten in a few hours before the cut off.
Bought the $500 GC, and then today got the $50 coupon. Used both to buy the K-3 with the flash and 50mm lens.
I have my broken K-30 listed on ebay...hopefully I can get $75 for that, around $70 for the lens and $20 for the flash. Wish me luck, boys and girls.
Happy Holidays!

I put a gift card in my cart, but did not see any mention of the rebate/coupon/GC...am I doing it wrong? I was logged in to my account.
If it works like reward points, does that mean I would have to wait for 40 days to receive the $50 coupon? I guess then you risk the $649 K-3 + 50mm + flash deal not being offered any longer.

i was in this boat as well. i was close to going for the adorama deal, but then realized i had to pay sales tax (b&h never charges me sales tax on internet orders). i was looking around on ebay to see what the lens and flash were going for, and i think you would be VERY lucky if you could get $100 for both. i was estimating more around $50. at $700, i would end up around $650 IF i could see the extras. i'd rather just buy the body for $650 on b&h, which was being sold with the flash too. even then, i was hoping for a better deal, like you said, around $500-550.
i ended up pulling the trigger on a sony a6000, but i won't open it until christmas, as i have a feeling i'm going to end up returning it. i did want something smaller to take on my commute to work and when i travel for work, but still wanted to keep some powder dry for a k-3.
as i mentioned in another thread, i dropped my k-30 and now it won't autofocus unless i'm in live view. it's really annoying, but i can live with it until i see a really hot deal to which i can't say no.

Thanks for the advise, guys.
Have any of you had any experience selling a damaged camera for parts? What kind of price could I reasonably expect?
I was also thinking about waiting for Black Friday/Cyber Monday and hopefully finding a good deal on an upgrade. What kind of discounts have you guys seen in the past and what stores have the best?

Last night while attempting to set my K30 up on a tripod while holding my 10 month old son in the other hand, the tripod tipped over and landed right on the camera.
I've tried multiple lenses and have the same problem with all of them - the camera won't autofocus when looking through the viewfinder (it hunts out to infinity and back and then the shutter won't fire), but it will in live view.
I've looked at some other threads and it sounds like it could be a broken AF module. Could it possibly be something else? Any ideas would be appreciated.
I'm guessing this isn't something that could be or is worth getting fixed, right?
I've kind of wanted to upgrade to a KS2 or K3, but not just yet.
