Kazusa on Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Wi-Fi 128GB $399 Delivered Less Trade in (with $300 Trade in Bonus) @ Samsung

carwashhair on 50% off Variable Seller Fees on Collectable Toys, Pre-Loved Fashion (Non-Store Sellers), Trading Cards (Auction Sales) @ eBay

There are no FVF fees for private Ebay sellers in the UK. Not sure why our smaller market doesn't get the same deal.

Good price on the Sony FE 85mm F1.8. Dropped recently to $549 so with this cashback should come to $440 which would make it ATL? Digidirect…

That is the old version. The newer version has most of these issues fixed. I believe this is the newer version (except the US model gets a…

Ended up buying it through Good Guys (which also has 10% cashrewards atm) as Amazon was sold out. Also if you are researching this product,…

Just to follow up, from these recommendations I bought this motherboard, rev 1.3 and have not noticed any coil whine. So far so good.

Any coil whine? Seems Gigabyte boards suffer more from this than other manufacturers which is putting me off.

I sold my Sony APS-C and M43 and went FF a few years ago. Very happy with the decision.

Same. But there is so much stuff to get side tracked on that at this price it's great value.
