You're not going to get a Saltiga 6000 GT for $650 anywhere in the US. You used to be able to get them for about that direct from Japan, but the yen/dollar exchange rate was better then. Nowadays it actually costs more to order one from Japan.

They are $839 now, and dealers aren't allowed by Daiwa to discount them.

I did mention to the seller that dahark was interested, but he was obligated to sell it to the first buyer who gave him an unequivocal "I'll take it".

I'll bet you that another one will be offered for sale before next season starts.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
