Black alox Pioneers for $29.50 shipped no tax.

Came across these. Decent price in my opinion. The black alox is cheaper than the silver alox.  Just a heads up guys. No tax or shipping from there website. I have used there website numerous times without problem.

Yep. I ordered a couple extra back when they weren't in stock. Not long ago I got a shipping notice and had them in a couple days. SKS is very good, and that's a great price.

I don't think they'll be available for long. Vic isn't supplying them anymore AFAIK.

What are they being discontinued or something?

Yes. And last time I ordered a Black Pioneer from them, my order was cancelled because they were out of stock. This was back in December but maybe they have more now.

The black ones, I think...

I think the black farmers were for the EU and black pioneers were for the USA.  As there is still stock for both, I expect that Vic feels they did not sell so well.

I don't think anything is selling so well in this bad global economy...

Quite true, Sawman, though if they rereleased red Pioneers (again), they'd be snapped up again quickly.

I agree, although SB has been trying to push the red ones off at $65 USD on Ebay, something tells me they're not selling all that many at that price.

Yeah, while I would really like a red (or a blue!) Pioneer, $65 is out of my budget since I have purchased silver Pioneers for around the $20 mark. :/

It is rather odd that red pioneers are not an evergreen.  Strange really.  Cadets come in 3 colors, but Pioneers only 1 (standard retail).

Red alox should the normal line IMO.

Agreed. Red alox pioneers for the same price of black or silver would be nice.
