(Now $517) Panasonic LX3K back to $500 (3rd party seller) (updated)

As of Monday October 12 at 8:30pm EST the best price is $517 with free shipping via Willougbhy's. The previous updates follow below unaltered:

We have another update. The $435 price from "ANTOnline" is over, and now the best price returns to $500 by "6ave" for the black Panasonic LX3 (LX3K) at Amazon.com. This continues the downward price trend we saw the last few days that has been shaving off the limited availability premium.

As always with third-party sellers (or any seller for that matter), be sure to buy if you are familiar with a seller or if you research them to your satisfaction. Different people have different preferences and risk tolerance/aversion, so it is up to you to decide. This is not a "nanny-state" blog :-)
