View attachment 1413349 I found this deal the year before last on this thread and when I saw your post ^^^ I went lookin for it cause I knew I only paid like 5 or six bucks w/ free shipping when I got mine. I got it and lost it w/in a week! !! Never have found that motherf*cker either! Had a nice little leather (fake?) carrying case and everything! . But anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there since it was so much cheaper.
*Edit
Here's a link to the original post on this thread (in case anyone cares and to give props where it's due=stinkbudd1)

The good thing about the radio shack is you can pay cash and if it breaks you don't have to wait another 2 weeks to get another, just go in and swap, for me thats worth another $6 especialy if your getting near harvest and need to look at her daily, waiting 2 or 3 weeks to get another one (that may not work again) aint good!!! haha.
Edit #2: Found the one I actually ordered after going thru the thread some more. And it's even cheaper! It's $4.95 and qualifies for free shipping. here's a pic:

I ordered this one and it didn't work right out of the box, sent it back and waited 2 weeks to get another that also didn't work, sent that one back and the 3rd one worked great for about 8 days and the light broke then they told me that I must have been doing something to the scope and refuesed to exchange. It's a toy and spending $8 more to get one that is in hand sure to work with well worth it to me!! haha. You get what you pay for with these little things unfortunately.
Got one of these too! haha, it said 30X but there is no way it's 30X, I have a 10X and it's only slightly more powerfull. But it's nice to have to look for bug on the soil and just look at the buds!! It's just woth having for $2, you can use it for a bunch of other stuff any who!
So the radio shack one is easy to get, replace, still cheap, uses AAA batteries and not the tiny watch kind. It hasn't broken after 2 months of use, paid cash. If it did break I'd drive my happy hiney to the mall and repalce it then and there, check opperation and I'm on my way a happy customer!! Worth the extra $6 I think
FTW.
I can put an entertainment center together, but a ballast.
I will be buying one next upgrade.
