YMMV: Nikon 1-System leather cases on clearance at some ODP B&M stores

This is a very YMMV. Some Office Depot brick and mortar stores carried Nikon CX 1-System mirrorless cameras, and as the cameras get phased out, their official Nikon cases are put on clearance. There were sightings of those cases going for $10 in the clearance sections/bins of Office Depot stores. This varies depending on whether a store carried the cameras and whether/when they put them on clearance and whether/when they have any left. They are not listed at the Office Depot website. YMMV!... You can see the cases I am talking about at Amazon where they go for their normal prices. Again, this is a very YMMV!
