Crazy low price on Mitutoyo Nib Style 12" Caliper

[GregBradley]

Anyone looking for a great deal on a Mitutoyo 12" Nib Style Caliper and willing to wait a bit. They had one in stock so I snapped it up but they are willing to take an order on more and ship in 1-3 months. My experience is that they usually come in at the low end of that. These sell used for more than that on ebay. Amazon is screwing up on this one. Camel says lowest price ever was $282 and even that is cheap.

I've waited 2 months on a 2-3 month amazon prime order and finally gave up and canceled. Anyone actually waited and received on of these deals?

It was still there very early this morning but gone about 12 hours after I originally posted.

I’ve bought several item like that with extended order time at stupidly low prices and most have come through. I’ve always been a bit surprised when they come through with something way too cheap to make sense.

It's their way of clearing inventory in a way to notify sellers they need more stock I believe. That or they are just slow moving products until someone says "look at the great deal I just got" then I believe the increased traffic increases the price. I've aquired 2 deals for new items for at half their typical selling price.
