If you need one, it is a great price.

I had a thought that I could use another one, but should I ...

Then at the 14 nearest central Florida stores it was "Unavailable."

Thanks for the post, too bad it's sold out down here :(

Right now, this is a good deal. But man, I remember when several years ago when I was able to pick up two 580EX IIs for $350 a piece and that was when it was the latest and greatest technology at the time. It's amazing how Canon lenses and flashed hold their value, or even gain value over time!

What good is a sale when nothing is in stock? I live in a major metropolitan area, this item is not available in any of the 20 or so stores around here.

(but thanks for the heads-up; this is not meant to be a complaint against the OP).

I remember those days and I thought 350 was over priced, so I turned to the used market and bought two, each under 300.
Its amazing that Canon can keep raising their price on the same product or release slightly improved versions of their products and people just keep buying.

what a scam. No shipping and not available in any store for pickup.
I had the same experience with a 8gb Eyefi card at Staples. They should pull from the site and stop wasting peoples time.

I tried all of the major cities in Texas, Oklahoma and Eastern New Mexico and I could not find it. Great price though.
