    What do you guys consider to be a good price on a SMAN3 ?

    I paid $340 for mine (and am happy with my purchase) but i have been quoted prices as high as $420.

    I am just curious what the median price on this board would be.

    I gave $360 but mine came with a hard case.

    I just paid $333 at Johnstone. About 3 months ago a guy was selling new ones for $250 Buy it Now on eBay. He must have sold 10 of them. Of course, I waited because I thought someone would sell them even cheaper.

    I got mine from Johnstone for $333, and the hard case for $47. Johnstone honored the online price locally.

    I am contemplating possibly the SRH3 and or the STA2. Oddly before the SMAN3 I have not owned anything by Fieldpiece.

    I will only answer a question about the cost of a tool when asked about a tool. If you can get it someplace lower go for it and if I know where it is lower I will tell you about it. I do this as I am retired from field and I know what I pay for tools your years.

    No, you got me wrong, I liked it! Just struck a humorous chord is all..
    I looked at your website and find it very appealing, could use that big case for my Sman3 and hoses...but I am a tad gun shy cause I can't tell how thick the plastic is.

    And your margins are very industry friendly. Thank you for that.

    I have two plastic cases for the Fieldpiece SMAN 2 or 3. One is from Fieldpiece that is 19.25x14.75x8. With this Fieldpiece case you can have the hoses attached to the gauges. The other case is a Blown Molded Case that is 17x12x4.75 foamed inside, hoses are not attached, this case will work with a Digi-Cool that I have on their way too. They cost about the same price. Both cases have pretty thick plastic.

    I have the case and it works well with 5 foot hoses. It is thick plastic. It is a large case larger than any of the other brands I have seen. Case is made fairly well if it has a weak spot it would be the clasps but they may hold up well.

    Yeah, read your post..think that cinched it for me..just have to figure out which over loaded CC to use cause I have dropped five grand on up grading my instruments. Never knew how old school my stuff was...course back in the day we flew more by the seat of our pants and energy conversation was something Hippies were concerned about.

    holder thats a better deal than I can get. Just had to buy a new leak detector so will be a week or so before I drop the money on them.

    I do have a question about the sman3. Is the micron gauge reliable and accurate enough for me to retire my old stand alone one?

    Will the discount apply for paypal payment too? Was going to order but thinking paypal might confirm my purchase without the discount.
