Talking to people who've used DealExtreme before, I think that the reason things are cheaper is because shipping happens whenever i.e. don't make any urgent purchases from them.

aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 01/16/2012 12:04 am I bought a Celestron 44302-A model through Amazon a couple of weeks ago. It was on sale at US$38.- with software included. Have since seen the price as high as US$71.- Very satisfied with its ability to view and photograph coins and stamps. It also has a 2 year warranty. Have purchased small items from DX in the past and they have been Ok but not the greatest. As mentioned in an earlier post, you get what you pay for. Shop around. Report this Post to the Staff
