FavsFWIW, the blue version is the only version on Amazon cheaper than this drop.

FavsIf I'm not mistaken, that looks like an affiliate link. Though I could be completely wrong.
I have nothing against people who say Amazon is cheaper (thank you for finding a better deal!) but this kind of annoys me when people try to make some change off this website by affiliate linking.
If you're going to help people by finding a better deal, I don't think it's necessarily right to profit off it. Especially on a different competitor website.

WolfOFJaxI literally searched the description and that link came up. I don't even know what an affiliate link is so am not in any way profiting off sharing a link I assume anyone could Google. I do know that the university I work at has a branded amazon site (not sure if that's the right term) so maybe that is why you see that. Thanks for caring though.

WolfOFJaxYeah, I often times avoid affiliate links too. Maybe I shouldn't... but I do. That's not an affiliate link though. Just a nice clean link. Supposedly Amazon affiliate links include "?tag=AFFILIATE_ID" in the URL. How can I identify Amazon affiliate link? My peeve is shortened URLs. No easy way of knowing where it will take you until you click it. So... I usually don't. Depends on the source. :-) Here's another, not an affiliate link but not so clean: https://www.amazon.com/Brunton-Echo-Pocket-Scope-Monocular/dp/B00CP4TED8/ref=pd_day0_hl_468_4/144-4308729-4376263?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00CP4TED8&pd_rd_r=4d370460-6a36-11e9-b475-c358acaaf9b4&pd_rd_w=0wPIP&pd_rd_wg=5CD5n&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=4W6AW6V8GQXB17MBQHDR&refRID=4W6AW6V8GQXB17MBQHDR And cleaned up a bit: https://www.amazon.com/Brunton-Echo-Pocket-Scope-Monocular/dp/B00CP4TED8

chuggerYeah I've learned that since posting the comment! Thanks for the further clarification it helps a lot. (Edit: The original link he had posted was much longer, that's likely where my confusion came from) Cheers mate!
