Bargain of the year
these eyepieces that usually retail at Astro shops for AUD400(USD270).
.
Early this week I noticed were on sale for $111 (USD70) from the Australian Pentax Distributor. Bargain of the year.
.
So, I ordered one. Then I referred a friend to the deal and he told me they had changed the price up to $335(USD220).
.
300% increase in 2 days. Inflation is getting out of control.

Re: Bargain of the year
Yeah I saw that one too: someone was selling on IceInSpace and I checked the new prices- I got quite a surprise to see it at $111 from the distributor, but ultimately decided against it (not sure why!). Maybe that was their wholesale price, and someone forgot to change it to retail. Enjoy!OzEclipse wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 9:53 am I just bought a Pentax XF 6.5-19mm zoom eyepiece. These prices are in AUD.
