[Amazon.com] FS: GoPro HD Hero2 Outdoor Edition PM'ed $194.69+Tax!!! (BLAZING HOT!!)

Update: Live again, there seems to be 2 pages that are changing constantly for the Outdoor Edition, check both for the $206 price

Link 2: http://www.amazon.ca/GoPro-HERO2-Outdoo ... ref=sr_1_2
Link 3 (Motorsports edition @$199+$25 Shipping+No Tax, No PM opportunity): http://www.amazon.ca/GoPro-HERO2-Motors ... m_sbs_ce_1


Original Post
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just PM'ed GoPro HD Hero2 Outdoor Edition for $194.69+Tax at Futureshop! Original Price $349.99+Tax=$396.

This beats even the GoPro Combo deal back in May with the $369+tax for the GoPro, LCD and Battery Kit. Since at this price, you could add both kits if you want and still come to around the same price, or choose not to if you dont need the extra kits! The sales guy told me the invoice cost for these are around $240, so they sold it to me below cost :razz:

Original Amazon.ca link: http://www.amazon.ca/GoPro-HERO2-Outdoo ... m_sbs_ce_1
The total price for Amazon is $206+$25 but No TAX, total comes to $231. Just remember to mention no tax if they want to pull the 'shipping cost' BS on you. I got the GoPro and Tripod mount ($10) for $231.40 Tax in!!
I already ordered the GoPro Hero1 Open Box at Henry's but I will be returning that one :D .

ADDITIONAL INFO AND TIPS:

If you really want the suction cup but want the Outdoor Edition instead of Motorsport Edition for head and helmet mounts, and PM oppertunity, I suggest these 2:

1: http://gopro.com/camera-mounts/tripod-mount/
2: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/370620552917?...ht_3153wt_1396
The suction cup seems to be the really similar to this one as this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00024 ... d_i=507846 without the extender. The combined price still beats the 'official' GoPro mount plus you could use the tripod mount to mount it on many other things.

To save money on the adhesive mounts, follow this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=527CclzExhk
and buy this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/3M-VHB-4941-4-X- ... 179wt_1396

Thanks OP! There's also the Motorsports Edition for $199: http://www.amazon.ca/GoPro-HD-HERO2-Mot ... 737&sr=8-2
No opportunity for PM as FS doesn't carry this bundle.

Pertinent differences:

Outdoor http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-hero2-outdoor-edition/
- 1 vented helmet strap
- 1 head strap
- 2 curved adhesive mounts
- 2 flat adhesive mounts

Motorsports http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-hero2-motorsports-edition/
- 1 suction cup mount (good up to 150+ mph apprently on cars, 200 mph on aircraft, but not FAA approved!)
- 1 J hook buckle
- 2 curved
- 3 flat

Both come with a 3 way pivot arm.

No what I meant is that when I first asked to PM, they said something like "we are going to have to charge you $25 extra since Amazon.ca charges $25 for shipping", which is BS since FS is not shipping it to my house. But I told them that the price on Amazon doesn't charge extra for Tax, and convinced the manager to not charge extra for the $25 shipping charge since FS has to charge HST whereas Amazon.ca order doesn't.

As far as I know, every Canadian retailer by law has to charge tax... you definitely got lucky, because they're probably not in Canada (in the U.S.) so you shouldn't have been able to PM them.

Well, it is definitely Canadian: Amazon.ca and Quebec based retailer. If you follow the order on Amazon.ca to just before 'Confirm Order', you will see no tax is being charged, just shipping. Tax could already have been calculated into the price or one of those 'no tax' specials. But either way, they are definiately Canadian, and BB and FS should have no excuse to not honour their PM Policy. ;)

I'd say this is a huge YMMV to getting a PM. It's being sold through an amazon seller and not amazon itself. It'd be comparable to trying to PM a power seller off ebay.

That no tax argument is not consistent enouth to have me drive to FS to get served some more BS.

And THIS :

okay so I found it for 206 on amazon sold by Buy n Save, I went ahead and placed the order. We`ll see if it gets cancelled.
I already have two of the original HD heros but I`ve wanted the HD2 for a while now, figured it was a good time to upgrade!

Very unlikely that FS would PM. The ones in Hamilton do a full on investigation when trying to PM BB or Staples, I can only imagine what a disaster this would be.

Awesome deal. Thanks OP. Time to replace the crap ContourHD that I haven't been satisfied with since day one.

After shooting a video last year with a Contour I've wanted something for snowboarding, skiing, longboarding etc.

Got the motorsports one for the lack of tax and I like the kit a bit better. Thanks OP.

TY OP! Was going to pull the trigger on the henry's one last week but glad I didn't. Been wanted one of these for awhile

PM'ed in Ottawa, and went through with no issues for $194, $220 after tax. Just showed the receipt. At first the guy thought it was sold out, good thing I asked him to look behind the gopro hero 1s ;)

There is one thing I never understood. I am an aesthetics kinda guy and I have no idea how this ugly looking and less featured camera took over the market rather than the ContourHD. ContourHD has a wider view, it has better wind resistance for mounting on your helmet or bike and a lot more features.

GoPro has a very VERY good marketing department.
