I think you should stop juming to conclusions so quickly. You sound like an old nagging mother. He may well have thought of that stuff and just not posted it because he assumed it was common knowledge.
You really just like any excuse to jump all over everyone don't you? I think you need to step away from your keyboard for a while and quit being so cynical of people. |
ERT, all I had for information is what he posted. Did he say where else he had checked? No.
Do you read minds? I dont.
When you ask a question on a forum, it's reasonable to post where you looked first.
If he had said "I checked Canadian Retailers and they want too much, but I can get the item for xxx$ US; is it worth the effort?" then he would have gotten a far more complete answer.
Newcon Optik have excellent prices that will compare favorably with what you can get from the US after Customs has reamed you, and there are no importation headaches or guesses.
Maybe you would prefer that I stop trying to save folks money? Tell you what, how about you do all the recommendations? Tell him where to shop, the costs, import fees, etc. Go for it. Then I wont have to nag, will I?
