They sell for $95 new in the States. Bintel should give you a good price on one (better than the gecko price anyway).

Bintel sell them for $260...good luck getting it much lower.

And good luck trying to get them from overseas....the ones I emailed said NO....which is fair enough with the Televue policy.

Bintel have been selling them for $260 for quite a while. But they have only gone on sale in the US recently. So I'm sure you can haggle with Bintel for a much better price. Otherwise www.highpointscientific.com will post here (...I'm waiting for my binoviewer...), but you need to order more than just the one EP to make it worthwhile.

Don't bother haggling. Just get the 4.8 from Astromart for much cheaper. Chances are you won't like the real 3-4mm eye relief anyway, so best not to spend much in the first place.
