Is Fuji X-T3 (body) for 1089 GBP a good deal on MPB.com?

Go to last post
They're £1099 on the Fuji refurbished store, that way you get a Fuji guarantee.

Sorry for my ignorance, could you please provide a link?

Hey, question above. Found 6 pieces of used (Like new) X-T3 on MPB.com, is this a good deal?

Doesn't sound that great to me. It's far too new a camera to have great used deals on MPB. It's only 200 quid cheaper and you lose warranty and the assurance that you got a perfect, new camera.

At those prices, I don't see why you shouldn't just go for the new one.
 
The e-infinity store (Hong Kong reseller) have them at £989 brand new. I wouldn't buy used for any more than that.

presumably you'd have to pay tax and duties after that?

I bought mine brand new at the SWPP show in Jan. It was £1199 with a free grip. I sold the grip, so effectively got a brand new camera for less than what is advertised on MPB. I am sure there will be more offers at The Photography Show in March.

Nope, that’s the price - although based in Hong Kong they ship over to a depot here first and then send it on, so any taxes etc are already dealt with. They explain that here - https://www.e-infin.com/uk/common/delivery_details

I feel like I’m hard selling now - I have nothing to do with them obviously - but I have bought a couple of X-Pro1s from them (and returned one for my own reasons) and had no problems at all.

Obviously it’s grey market, it might be a model from another market with an adapter for the batter charger etc, and you are potentially reliant on them for warranty service (although Fuji might surprise you there).

Oh man, those are some amazing prices. Really good prices for the X-Pro2 as well, though it's obviously out of stock. It's making me consider that X-E3 now! quite a good price.

Thank you!

This site looks amazing.

However, why is X-T2 (graphite) priced higher than X-T3 (silver)??

I may be wrong but I thought that the graphite X-T2 was something akin to a limited edition and thus more expensive?

I'll just add to this; there is a can of worms to discuss when talking about using e-infin - but nowhere will you see they talk about paying the taxes & associated VAT.

Whilst the onus is on them to pay, you will never get a VAT receipt from them, as they simply don't pay it - they import in bulk, but are 'creative' on the value and contents of the shipment. Worth taking into account if buying as a business and a few other reasons..

Could you elaborate a bit on that topic?

Are they legit site or not? Are the products they deliver original and fully working condition (brand new)?

I’m interested in the “can of worms” comment myself, although I can well believe the VAT point. All I can say is I ordered two separate cameras about a year apart, both came promptly and were fully “legit” and brand new as far as I could tell. They were also quite happy to arrange a return on one of them when I changed my mind for other reasons.
