Canon buy back program

[joyeo]

You think is worth to just get the
Option 1:500d body & buy the 18-55mm IS lens in B&S
Price: $868 - body + 100-120 for lens
or
Option 2: 500d with kit 1? $1026

any diff if get lens from 2nd hand?

FYI, I went to get a cheap spoilt canon ixus to trade-in. went to canon customer service, they said the condition of the camera doesn't matter for the privilege purchase programme. Anyway, the price quoted to me for EOS 500D Kit 1 is $1111 (based on SRP of 1399, not 1299), and there are no stocks so if you order it will take 2 weeks to arrive.

like that no point paying $1111 for 500d from canon customer service since we can get it $1150 from ap and ms, yes, slight more ex of $39 more, but we can get it on the spot.

Then it is more worthwell to get 500d kit 2. The CSC price is $1588. MS quoted me $1780 last weekend.

I think canon will base on the old price which is 21% off $2099 = $1660, but you can save about $120 if you do not mind waiting for 1 to 2 weeks.

i still puzzle why they say no stock and have to wait for 1 to 2 weeks, but i can see others can just walk in and buy the 500d instantly for $1299 (kit1) or $1999(kit2).

dont tell me the buy back program, they are giving different batch which has limited stock.

can someone enlighten me what theory must wait for 1 to 2 weeks where by the stock is in store.

500d KIT I cannot be $1111 i think he told u the wrong amount . cause i just went there ytd and initially he told me its $1111 den after that he checked another list n said there's another updated list of pricing . so i reserved mine for $1032. and ya they called me today n said the stock MIGHT only come 2 wks later

 

[wirelessed]

means I got bluffed by the canon person. haha. anyway I cancelled my order because I thought the cost savings ain't that substantial. shall look for another one elsewhere.

you went to the first floor or the 4th floor for this buy back back program? should be the 4th floor service centre right? i am thinking of going too, but not sure which floor.

just curious, if next monday i go ask for this buy back program, and at the same time their 500d stock arrived. take for example 100 sets arrives, 20 sets has been reserved buy those under the buy back program, so spare 80 sets. will i get the set on that day since i am there, or will i still have to wait for 1 to 2 weeks?

Go to the 4th floor, get a queue number and then ask for the privilege purchase program.
I believe they don't keep a lot of ex-stock at the service centre. So, you will likely have to wait for their next order

 

[lawacko]

yups its at the 4th floor. i'm nt sure abt this but they did emphasis that 2 wks is just an estimation . worst case scenario after christmas or after new year . like damn long . thinking of redrawing the offer. super long wait.

It is based on about 21% off the current promotion price. I just ordered for kit2 and the price is 1588.

I think there is a penalty admin fee if you withdraw

 

[lawacko]

If U do read previous post, it all stated clearly.

CSC will tell u 2 weeks, some get it 3 days, I got mine 1 week.

Seems like CSC dont have stock there, had received a DO together with my invoice.
