5D Mark II w/24-105 now back to crazy price

11pm NYC time: No "featured sellers" left, although I think Amazon needs to CLEAN UP their featured sellers. I'm seeing some iffy places finding their way there. Now it's available for $5000 through the marketplace. Now that's the definition of rolling the dice for that amount of money!

825pm NYC time: Gone again, now at the wacky price of $5400 offered by 3rd party profiteers.

8pm NYC time: If this is giving you a headache, welcome to the club! Now Amazon has two units one unit in-stock for $3500.

6:15pm NYC time: Now it's crazy-price, offered for $5400. You may have noticed that all the 3rd party sellers offering it above the standard price of $3500, always have "only one in-stock". This trick may have worked during the Nasdaq 4000+ years, but it's probably less likely to work nowadays.

5:15pm NYC time: Amazon itself has sold the one kit, now it's back to the $4000 limited-availability-premium-priced kit via Tigerdirect. Same url as below.

4:51pm NYC time: Back at Amazon for $3500, sold and shipped by Amazon itself. Only one available!

4:34pm NYC time: Amazon has sold out already! Now there is only one available from Tigerdirect but it has a $500 limited-availability premium, it is selling for $4000. A game of cat and mouse, or a game of chicken if you must.

4:12pm NYC time: Grab it now! The Canon 5D Mark II with the EF 24-105 L-IS-USM is sold and shipped by Amazon herself for $3500, the standard price! This is not by a 3rd party seller, but Amazon herself! This is as of the time of writing, it will be interesting to see how long it lasts!

(The body only is not available by Amazon itself, but a 3rd party profiteer is selling it for $4900).
