Be patient, they will be back. They seem to come and go every two months or so. It was a very good price and people on this site bought about 10 in no time.

Unfortunately, mine didn't make the trip without casualty. Thank goodness for Amazon's top customer support!

thin layer of bubble-wrap was not enough here, apparently...

I bought two this time (a total of six over the past year) and have been lucky on the delivery so far. Mine come in a plastic bubble bag, inside a box, inside a shipping box.

I am not seeing these on Amazon. Got a link? I tried before and was told no go. All I find is Paklab at $55!

I believe that sale is over for now. But, it'll be back!

I guess that's what intrigues and maybe irritates me. It was still up when I got there, I placed my order, got confirmation it would ship in 6 weeks.

OK, then Amazon emailed me a week later saying no-go. That was when I originally posted to this thread. Now I see posts from YESTERDAY saying guys got theirs, and it sounds like they JUST got them. Hmmmm...

My dealings with Amazon thave always been very good. I think you have a case to take to their management. I would call or contact them and say you recieved a confirmation (i.e. offer, acceptance, quid pro quo, legal, no danger to anyone = contract) and ask that they honor their commitment.

Replacement showed up quickly and intact. Looks like they added some extra bubble wrap this time.
