Good scam...
September 18, 2007, 07:43:35 pm
Here's something I'm quite proud off,

Got a EOS 400D off the Canon Ebay outlet shop a few weeks ago, ex-display or someink, as new and still 1years warrrenty £330. (Still £450 in Jessogs last time I looked) Canon were running a £50 cashback offer at the time I bought it so thought I'd send off the paperwork for a giggle even though I bought it discounted kinda directly from Canon rather than one of their dealers.

£50 cheque arrives in the post today.

£450 camera for £280 quid. Thanks very much.  :thumbsup:

Oh yeah and sold my old G6 for £250.

So upgraded from a digi-compact to a 10meg D-SLR for £30.

(forgive the boast, thought it may come in useful if they rerun the promotion...)

I once asked for a flapjack as a cafe, and the piece the woman lifted up broke under its own weight as it was supersaturated with golden syrup, so she gave me that as it was unsaleable and also gave me another intact piece, all for the normal price. Do canon make anything so greasy it makes the bag go transparent? I think not.

supersaturated with golden syrup

That wasn't golden syrup, she was just very excited to see you.

i was once in subway and my sandwich was in its last stage of creation - sauce, then the bottle exploded all over the last two cm. so with the 2 offending cm removed i was given that, and another perfectly good sandwich.
do the maths, thats nearly 2 foot of sandwich.
im sure you will agree that is better than some camera on the cheap.
