What is wrong with people?
I was looking for a Lee Big Stopper filter and yes I no they are in very short supply and there is a long waiting time but I just looked on Ebay and there is one for sale at auction, it still has 6 days + to go and the price £165 and going up I bet (when available from Lee £85) and people say the world is in deep .... with money crisis.:bang:
I suppose the moral of this story is "If you have a LEE big stopper and need a new lens or a holiday GET IT ON EBAY"

I just bought one on here for £120. Yes its a lot of money, but I wanted one and buggered if Im going to wait 20 odd weeks or more for one.

Its called supply and demand.. There is no supply and they are in demand hence the price rockets.

Think a lot of this stuff is Japanese and after those earthquakes destroying factories and power plants everything is going to be more difficult to obtain for some time to come

There's nothing wrong with people at all. Simple supply and demand. Some people need/want one now and are willing to pay a premium, so sellers benefit. Pay the price, or be patient, I suppose.

I think I will place an order for a couple big stoppers now, and have a very Merry Christmas

Its not just the big stopper either, pretty much every lee filter is on backorder at the moment and the prices are rocketing.

I was very lucky last week, I bought a foundation kit, 77mm adapter and a soft ND grad set for just £150 on ebay!!

Im after a Hard ND grad kit and there is one on ebay for £195 with 3 days to go.. Crazyness.
