All Elites are made in Japan. A few were mislabeled Elites that were made in china but were quickly renamed the Legend HD. These can be distinguished by their turrets and a few other cosmetic changes. A true Elite, whether the new Elite or now obsolete 3200 & 4200 are all made in Japan. Like said above, pricing on the bushnell website is out to lunch and if any dealer is charging those prices, then they will NEVER make a sale.
Crisspbacon, what shop do you work at? I know of no shops any where out here in the Fraser valley/GVRD that retails the 3200 "3x9x40" for $329. You can still find nib 3200 3x9x40 for cheap, under $200 and if you look even harder, 4200 2.5x10x40 for under $400...of course old stock that was no not bought up.
