don't forget tax here in CA... so 78-79 bucks? still a reasonable price.

Not everyone is in CA, but, yeah, tax.

Barrabes has not had black totems for about a year... but yeah, tell me more, lol

maybe you miss them when they are in stock?

Just got 4 Totems from Marco today, Yahoo! The "only" thing I need now is warm weather to get outside ;)

I had a program to watch barrabes site... they only had them once in the last year and myself & a buddy took those...otherwise they have not shown up on their website at all- but again, thanks for the suggestion. When shipping and customs are factored in, they might almost end up as cheap as Marco.

Black is gone 

Black is back lol

Backcountry dot Com has everything but black. But, if you don't mind waiting a couple weeks for shipping, Vertical dot Com is free shipping if you buy at least 2, and no taxes. Pretty sad that it's cheaper to buy from Canada than it is from your own country.

It was definitely faster than couple weeks once Marco had the cams in stock. It must have been a week, no more.

rockandsnow has 5 blacks in stock  but at 89.95  is it worth it or better to wait ??  they dont charge sales tax soooo maybe there is alittle savings there 

Just buy from Marco! Just received a black from him. I’ll definitely be buying more totems from him.

I've bought from Marco in the past and my stuff showed up in 3-4 days. If you really need it in two, give him six extra bucks and I bet he'd expedite it. BC is nice and all, but I prefer to support the little(r) guy.

If anyone in Silicon Valley wants to buy totems RIGHT AWAY, PG Belmont has them all in stock, each for little more than 90 bucks. It was lovely to see them all side by side there this morning.
If money is of consideration, do as I did and order them from Marco ;););)
Happy Holidays to everyone who has totems, who dreams about Totems, and who doesn't have and doesn't care about having them ;) Just keep climbing regardless!
With festive cheers,
Yours truly.

They never go on sale and rock and snow is a great shop to support. Buy it. 

Mountain gear.com has 4x blacks left in stock.   If you buy two, you’ll get it for 79/piece shipped.   Sell the extra :) #cpa

Rock and Snow has two black in stock. When I was in the store yesterday it was 4. :)

As of this afternoon, Planet Granite, San Francisco had totems in stock, 2 of each size, including black.  $89 ea.

It’s supply and demand. If you’re desperate to get a hard find piece and want it right now you’re not going to pay normal retail . I would have brought back some from Spain but not if people wanted me to lose money doing them a favor.

Verticallstore.com pretty much always has totems in stock, and has the cheapest prices. Plus, for some backwards reasoning, if you're in the US, there's no taxes. 

Totem Cams are in stock at Neptune Mountaineering.

And both Earthtreks Englewood and Golden.

has 10 black Totems in stock. Are black Totems not hard to find any more?
