I just got one 17-40 from Tri-state with USA warranty on 10/2 for about $710 - $200 shipped. It was not there on 10/1. So I guess you should constantly check and see if they have any more...
Right, it's not there even in the item I won. Below is the email notification I get after I "buy it now" from them though.. You should also double check that's the case for the outstanding item I pasted above if you are concerned about it.
