Ways to get a Frensel Lens without paying secondary market price #100035 11/08/00 02:27 AM

Hi all,

I was in desparation until earlier today. I had not reserved my piece, and everywhere I've called it's either gone or the dealer has no clue what I've been referring to. I hopped onto the dealer section of HL's website, and found about a dozen dealers here in Michigan with email addresses. So, I started emailing. Most responses I got back the lens was already sold or presold. Low and behold - Drum roll- I got a call today from a dealer in Petoskey (I live in Fremont) and they had an extra not spoken for, so it's on it's way!!! I'm so geeked! I can't wait to get mine!

Hope this suggestion helps someone like it did me.

Congrats, Jen! All from the comfort of your own computer and telephone. The lenses are out there. You just have to search them out if you don't want to pay an inflated price on the secondary market.

Also, watch R@R. As we all get out and spot the extras out there we will be sending them to Rick for those that need to find one. Some dealers I have spoken to said that HL has told them that the remaining lens may not be shipped until spring. Any official word JC?

I'm quite sure that you'll be able to find the lens at retail. I know there are several dealers in my area that get auto-ships that are not spoken for. they usally get the new releases, (including Eldrod Rock) and they sit on there shelves for a lond time. I mean, how else can you explain seeing a L.E. Sanibell on Retired @ Retail last week? Be patient, but be busy and you'll find a lens at retail.

I went through yahoo; found a listing of harbor lights web pages thru them; found my lens at teepee town in St. Augustine, FL last Thursday, (12-14). Received it today; it is so gorgeous!!! Can't wait for the bigger editions.
