UK supplied 5D mk 3 for £1869 Amazon Warehouse deal one off.

..and before anyone mentions it I know you can buy one for £1660 delivered from Panamoz :) but there are some of us (not including me) that would never buy grey.
 
They have to describe returns/open boxes as "used" but other than that it is nothing like buying second hand as you have a 30 return and all other guarantees that you would have buying new from Amazon.
 
Your missing the point Gary, It is Amazon, you can send it back even if you find it has zero clicks.
 
No one is saying there is anything wrong buying from Hong Kong ......least of all myself, but as I said there are some of us that do not like buying grey and if I were one of them I would have had a punt at this especially with the reassurance of being able to return it even if I changed my mind

We've been asked by admin not to discuss that subject , so I'lll respect that - suffice to say that some of us prefer no to for various reasons already discussed at length.

On point however given that thats used , how does the price compare with other used outlets like camera jungle or MPB ? (if its not much different i would prefer to use the latter than someone i don't know on the amazon market place)
 
Forget it, just read this in the frequently asked questions......

Do products come with a warranty?
No. Used products generally do not come with a manufacturer's warranty but all of our items are backed by Amazon’s satisfaction guarantee.
 
as you have a 30 return and all other guarantees that you would have buying new from Amazon.[/quote] I agree you get a 30 day return [quote="Galaxy66 said:

This is incorrect information "but other than that it is nothing like buying second hand as you have a 30 return and all other guarantees that you would have buying new from Amazon."

I am a great fan of Amazon Warehouse Deals but it is effectively buying second hand.

This from Amazon's Warehouse Deals page http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000575793

" we sell customer-returned products that have never been opened but have slight box damage that prevents Amazon.co.uk from selling the product as "new". Most products sold on Warehouse Deals should be considered "used".
Warehouse Deals offers these products at a discounted price because they cannot be sold on the Amazon.co.uk website as new.

They also say elsewhere they they cannot offer a full manufacturers warranty because the item is classed as used.

Warrantries are used to maximise the used price of goods on TP and especially on eBay. In most cases a manufacturers warranty is restricted to the first purchaser and is not transferrable. Yes some manufactures will offer goodwill support.

To be bombproof you need a retailers dated receipt in your name.

Remember warranties are in addition to your rights under the Sale of Good Act and cannot remove/suspend or replace these rights.

Haven't I since corrected myself by quoting from Amazon in post 11 below ??.

Maybe I should just ask for the thread to be removed altogether !
