Canon Refurbished ELPH 330 HS : Any chance ?

I'm looking for a really good 330 HS to add to my kit.  Is there any chance a factory Refurb. will be offered on the Canon USA website ?

I live in a very rural area so Craigslist has been no help.  Ebay gets a few but crazy people want new price, and "like new" models have plenty of scratches and scrapes.  Is it worth holding out for a factory refurbished unit ?

If you don't mind a pink one, there is a brand new one on Amazon right now for $230. US $.  Used go for around $160 or so on Amazon.  Depends what you want and how soon you want it, or if the waiting game is a possible solution.  But sometimes waiting doesn't work out.

An outlet model in Holland

An outlet model in Holland (color silver), with two years Canon warranty. The camera is offered by a reliable camera store (I bought there several cams). However, I am not sure whether they ship to USA, but you could contact them.

if you ever receive the dreaded charge battery message when the battery is charged, try a third party battery.  It worked for me.  The Canon battery is slightly different from the generic battery and that difference caused a slight loss of contact with the contacts inside the camera.

This alternate battery solution is better than putting additional pressure on the battery door.

The ELPH 330HS was a 2013 model, so it's very unlikely to show up as a refurb.  Try looking for used models on KEH.com, B&H, and Adorama.  They handle some used Canon P&S cameras and I've had good results buying from all three.  You might also check out Cameta Camera, another reliable source for used gear.  Also have you checked this site for used gear?

Thank you Jerry I will check these sites that you have suggested.  The 10x optical zoom and sharp lens will be a nice addition to my gear.
