Actually, it seems that this flash is being discontinued by Nikon .. Best Buy are dumping their stock! Pitty this isn't on offer here, I would love to stanch up a couple, especially at these prices.
On Nikoncafe, they're said to be going for a mere $90, or there abouts :shrug: ... there was a huge rush with members trying to source any store that has them. Seems they're all soldout by now.
