AmazonBasics Cleaning Kit for DSLR Cameras for $2.23

The craziness of Amazon pricing! The AmazonBasics Cleaning Kit for DSLR Cameras is now down to $2.23 per set. However, the limit is now three sets per customer. It was up to ten sets per customer when the price was hovering around $3.

This is still an ADD-ON item (you must needs place a $25+ order, elsewise the shopping cart won’t let you buy it – look for ideas to get to $25+ in the AmazonBasics posts.

You get six different cleaning accessories in each set, outlined here [the numbers in the picture below are indexed in the aforelinked post].
