Authorized Canon dealer BuyDig via eBay has the “refurbished” Canon EOS 6D + 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Kit for $1899.99. You also get a free copy of Lightroom 5!
We say “refurbished” because: they ran a similar sale last week via their other storefront Beach Camera via eBay, and several of our readers reported they received a new item!
They got a color box, with none of the usual signs of a refurbished body and lens (pinprick through the serial number, red dot on the lens mount). Now, who knows if the store will be doing the same in this sale. Expect refurbished (for which this price is already a great deal), but I wouldn’t be surprised if for some buyers it comes out a bit better than that!
Refurbished items come with a full 1-year Canon USA warranty. BuyDig only charges tax to NJ.
Update: Savvy reader Todd notices that the listing mentions the BuyDig # as CNEOS6DKT and the Canon part number as 8035B009, which correspond to the brand new kit in both cases! Canon manufacturer refurbished bodies are normally sold under a different BuyDig # and Canon part number.
(If you bought in the last sale, please comment with your experience and help other readers out!)
I’m one of those that got a new one. Jump on this if you’ve been holding out for a 6D. I’m glad I did!
Thanks for the info. 🙂

I think they just label it refurb so they can sell it at this price. So they dont have to break the MAP. Sellers always find a way.
Exactly.
Just bought one. Hope its new.. Wont be upset even if its refurbished
I too was one who ordered a refurbished camera and received a brand new camera. I checked the shutter count right out of the box and it was zero. It would have been a good deal, but it turned out to be a great deal. Thanks CPW for the change to get this deal.
Fantastic! I’m thinking they were all new in the previous sale.
These are no doubt new units. Go over to their native websites and look at the sku numbers, or catalog#. Their skating around the MAP with refurb listings. And I just picked up the body refurb from Canon. Now I debate and cancel the Canon store one…..ugh.
Thanks. I mentioned this in the post — credit to you 🙂
Thanks for posting this! I decided the Canon store wasn’t for me the other day with taxes $100+. New or refurbed, I’ll still be happy! Looking forward to the upgrade from my T5i.
I had mentioned earlier it’s not working, but finally got a friend in the US to make it work. The order went thru, so will wait to see what comes in the box.
Cool. Just in time too. It sold out 5 minutes ago.
I also ordered that one from Beach Camera last week. I got a color box. And I paid $1.99 to check the shutter count on eoscount.com and got zero. I was thinkng I wasted that $1.99 to get a inaccurate number until I read this article. So happy to make that order and thank you CPW!
I purchased this last week during the Beach Camera deal. I have a colored box, no pin marks on serial number, no red dot on lens mount. My serial number is 8035B010(AA), a little different than the number above. Anyone know anything about this serial number?
Interesting — that’s a Canadian part number. It’s eligible for the same USA warranty and shouldn’t be any different.
But that does explain part of this mystery. 🙂
I Who would have thought! I couldn’t figure out why my serial number was different than all the websites I was viewing. I really do think it is new, although I haven’t run a shutter count on it yet.
I guess I should ask if you also think this serial number indicates it is new? Of course when I search this number I get new models on Canadian websites.
Yes, new.
buydig.com sent me a letter stating the order is out of stock.

Hoping they will restock it with new.
Same case with me, got email saying out-of-stock and will be back in 3 to 5 days.
Received shipping confirmation. Their moving them out fast! Anyone else get confirmation? Glad I caught the catalog number listing.
Thank you CPW for this site, you rock.
@Todd, can you tell at what time did you place the order? My order was placed at 8:30 PM on Sunday.
@ Sam, Roughly 6pm EST Sunday.
Bought mine at 6:30 PM EST Sunday; it was sent this morning. Thanks CPW!
You’re welcome. Let us know if new or refurbished shows up 🙂
eBay listing history shows: 60 orders total.
1st purchase made at 08:05AM and last purchase made at 8:32PM. (My back ordered item was purchased at 7:42pm)
All times pacific 🙂
buydig.com – does not list Refurbished kits on their site, only refurbished bodies. *fingerscrossed*
I don’t think an official “refurbished 6D+24-105mm” kit exists. At least I’ve never seen the part number for it; even the Canon Direct Store doesn’t have them. Now, a retailer could “make” them out of refurb 6D + refurb or white box 24-105mm but it doesn’t seem likely.
Yet they have a 5DIII kit (CNEOS5DM3KT1RB) listed on their site.
But do not have it listed on ebay. It would’ve been nice to match the #s there.
Of course it could all be just a copy/paste description with the only difference being “refurbished” in the condition field.
If you check a few of their recent Nikon refurb deals, the BuyDig# on eBay matches the refurb listing on their site. The 6D is definitely different in that it doesn’t.
That being said, who knows what they will ship. I’m sure they’re getting a lot of attention over this now as Canon does read this site (Hi, Canon!).
Hi Canon / Hi BuyDig. If i get a refurb, i’m shipping it back 😛
Hopefully when they say back in stock in 3-5 days that means they’ll post another deal like this one. I missed out on this one as I couldn’t convince myself to sell my 60D fast enough.
Also, Beach and BuyDig require a DIRECT signature for the package delivery. You have to be home.
Got mine today and it looks new. Retail box in spotless condition
Wonderful.
Delivered today. It’s a new one indeed. Retail packaging. Thanks CPW.
Finally got a shipping confirmation for buydig.com too! (backorder)
CNEOS6DKT shipped 🙂
Ditto, I am quite pleased!!!
Looks like everyone is getting new kits. Fantastic deal, I’m glad our intel didn’t disappoint!
Any update when can we have solar deal ??

Now that the cat’s out of the bag on this one, I’m not sure they’ll try running this again… you really have to strike while the iron is hot!
I have just received mine today. It is not refurbished, it came with a color box and it is brand new. Also in the invoice it does not says refurbished.
It was a great deal!
Thank you CPW.
Finally got mine today. It’s new. Lens code for those interested: UB12 (2013/12).
I received mine too. Came in a new box. Did not mention “refurbished” anywhere. So I didnt take the pain to check the shutter count. Is this enough to decide that its a new one?
I checked mine and it was 0. I am sure about yours too.
I’m pretty sure everything that was sold here was a new kit.
Congrats on all who followed our advice and got in on the deal.
