Wanted - Acquired: Da 10-17mm

timstone · 03-28-2010, 08:18 PM

Looking to purchase a DA 10-17 in or around the end of the week (Apr 2nd) I think I'd like to check out what people have to offer for used prices before I buy new. Not looking to spend any more than $500

Why don't you go on Ebay, find a vendor that's selling them for around $500 incl. shipping, then use MS/Bing cashback (currently 8%) and get one new, with warranty, for $460?

Didn't know about the Bing stuff...but still I will see if anyone here has something to offer me since I have a week before I make the purchase.

I would do what the last poster said...except wait for prodigital2000 to put some up at $399 - they have sold in the last 10 days for that amount. I think prodigital learnt their lesson about selling lenses that weren't in stock (as has previously been discussed here in the forums), and are only listing lenses they actually have available. That said, they are an otherwise reputable re-seller based in Canada and offer great prices. With bing cashback you'll be sitting at $368 shipped.

That sellers prices seem about right to me. The K-x with 18-55 were set at $579. I got my kit (white) on amazon for $515 I think. They also have the 10-17 for $499 but I'm not sure if I can use Bing there.

Still gonna wait and see if any forum members have something to get rid of either way.

Anyone....anyone? I messaged prodigital2000 on ebay and he told me they have them on order and will list them when they get them...didn't give a date...so I asked him when.
