It was on a one day special at about half price when I bought it. I didn't need another gadget nor another gadget or another flash let alone this being like a third flash!? But at half price and free shipping and I think it was maybe $30 I said what the heck because I already had experience with similar Brendan flashes and I was very pleased to see how well it works and what a good job did so now its in my camera bag as the backup flash! Lol I guess when you need to buy a gadget 123 ink cartridges .ca isn't a bad place to look :-)
