The operator told me they sell some overstock lenses as refurbished which gave me hope that i'd get a good lens. Well thankfully my lens arrived today and I'm delighted to say I got a brand new lens with a UY date code at less than the price of what some people are selling used. Very good day indeed.

There is no reason to sell an overstock of anything in canon's line because with canon gear, it's a seller's market. And why would they take overstock out of it's original box to put it in a white box? Only thing I can think of is if it was overstock at the factory and they ran out of boxes... lol. We all know that since the tsunami canon can barely even make enough lenses to please the public, let alone make too many!

Jul 09, 2011 18:34 | #13 Overstock makes perfect sense to me. You never see Canon lenses on sale. They occasionally offer rebates though. It's a way to clean out inventory without price cuts that hurt sales in the long run.
