before i head to sleep i just gotta ask,

TS...
why are you so desperate to get the message out about this "deal" ?
if canon find out about this thread, which just so happens to be on a forum that is thoroughly browsed by people that i know work at canon, do you not think they will start to introduce a system where you must provide proof of purchase before you are able to get the rebate on a new camera? that would be a little annoying wouldnt it...

good night! :D

good, some forumers are beginning to use this buyback program to sell the body and 18-200mm IS lens already :)

You're a Canon Buy-Back Programme fan LOL. But I believe many would benefit from this...

fromy my numerous encounters with buyers from BnS, most of them are not aware of it.. so i am creating awareness.. they were shocked when they bought stuff from me, and i shared with them about this program itself.

You must be richer now from the profit-making programme... do yourself a favour and get a higher end camera/lens than what you have. LOL or are you still chasing for more profits. LOL. Kidding dude.

chasing for more profits... i beg to differ..

I am using Tamron 18-270mm + 1000D.. and my prices aren't high.. not compared to some people who are looking to sell their 18-200mm IS at $950, 500D body at $1000...

btw, i sold away my stuff already.. i din't make much money out of it... just want to clear space...

i only need thr 1000D body.. my buyers are all aware of this program.. i know u are kidding lah...
 

hehe.. i will pay $700 for a spare 500D body and fit it with my existing 50mm f1.8

anyone? xD

dun be silly lah.. no one would do that.. people are selling their 500D body for 950-1000.. :bsmilie:
the whole process is very tedious you know?
 

oh.. u mean in japan, the labour is cheaper than singapore... in japan, their dSLR prices are cheaper compared to singapore...

oh.. i failed my economics, coz i din know singapore labour is more expensive compared to japan. sorrie, my bad..

economies of scale.

10 chars :nono::nono:

as much as i'm trying not to feel cynical with your thread, i find your thread very misleading too

so does this mean we deserve to be carrots? ;)
simply becoz we have small market, we deserve to buy everything at higher prices? my thread is not misleading, that is what alot of forumers are doing.. just that everything was undertable till now...

the prices which i have quoted are still below the current CS BnS prices...

Anyway, read the title of the thread carefully.. It is How to get? Meaning i am telling you all how to get it at that price... just that its abit tedious... but one can save $350.. why not?

Bro,

Ignore those who may not share your thoughts. Personally, I may not do so since I am uncle with kid and have limited time.

I like the way you think though, bothered to spend effort to do the math and even sharing the facts with everyone. Many people would either be too lazy to do so or simply dun even have the brain to think about such "trick".

If I am a boss, I would employ you as my staff. Knowing that you are not lazy, resourceful and will use your brain for gains.


err.. even Canon Japan offers cheaper prices compared to Singapore :)
i din know labour is cheaper in Japan.. you have taught me something new.. :)

Thanks for your support. I agree with you, not all forumers might want to utilise this..
having said that, one thing i am still trying to figure out...

Can one get a cheap flat in singapore.. anyway, that's OT liaoz.. time to sleep... haha...
the reason i posted this also was, when i was a newbie, i have seen potential buyers haggling prices with me when we meet up.. Like can give additional $50 discount... Some even ask for $10 discount... since $10 even matter to them, i am sure savings of hundreds of dollars will be attractive to them. faintz.. from then onwards, i simply sell my stuff in amk.. period...

and seriously, i have no problems selling my stuff, coz my stuff are what had been stated in the thread... :angel: all my ex buyers felt that they had a good deal, as i am selling mint and well maintained items at lower than the market price for 2nd hand goods.. :)

haha.. i can forsee that too.. but then i won't be getting my tamron.. its a sharp copy... like the lens that i have sold off in CS...

My friend who is into photography was playing with my toy.. He is FF user.. he commented that the sharpness of tamron is comparable to that of EF100mm lens.. perhaps i really gotten a sharp copy.. :)

i also find my copy of tamron to be sharp.. another friend gotten poisoned by me, he is dumping his lens to get this all in one lens.. ;)
 

weixiang1900,

If you made this trouble, Canon will suspend you any time.
Where you from? Japan? USA?

I agreed with rgy1993 and sfz.

If canon will find about this, Canon will step up to check your camera whether spolit/ drop.
If singapore will down and worse. then where we need to eat. Your salary will cut and more. We must support our country (singapore) to gain and well.

the buy back thread has been in existence for donkey of weeks, even months... they will not check.. so many forumers have gone and bought their dSLR...

lazy to even type..
 

why would the good people in Canon care if the dude is helping them to sell more cameras????

Come to think of it, Weixiang, are you working for Canon?
 

WX - I know la.. Thats why am "asking" nia..

Hehe..

Anyway, I think Canon is not DUMB to come up with this buy back program which is in existence for such a long time la. Canon is a company which is ultimately profit driven. Hence, I do believe that they provide such a "goodwill" service for profits also.

I wished I read the "buy back" thread before I sinked in 23xx at MS Color for my 50D Kit III. I would then save about $150 tho.
 

weixiang is helping canon to earn money. even if we exchange a spoil camera for a new 500D, canon also wont make any lose infact. if im from canon i will give weixiang a 500D free as a gift for promoting this buy back program. dun get so piss off ok weixiang? and thanks for the info. those pple who dun appreciate is their business. if u r not happy with his post just stop viewing his thread and give comments. what i think he need is postive comments.

btw WX, where do u read about this buy back program? care to share? cant find in the web and i think its time to change my camera..;p
