DA 18-250mm pricing on Amazon.com

I find this amusing - twice now after the price on the DA 18-250mm has increased, it's been in my Amazon Quick Picks the next day.

It went from $397.90 to $406.95 yesterday and today it's in my quick picks for $386.60. Heck, it was $ 376.65 last month - I was waiting for it to drop in the $350 range. Instead it shot up to $397.90 and next day was in my Quick Picks.

Like I'm thinking I should grab it at 5% off before it goes up again?

I got tired of watching this and bought a used one via the Wanted forum here.

This just gets better.

Today the lens dropped from $406.95 to $364.44.

I'd be steamed if I took advantage of the 5% price break yesterday, only to see it drop another 6% the next day.
