Got a Big 5 in your area? They’ll sometimes have them for as little as $80. Mail-order is fine, but you can pick a receiver type/date or just one that looks nice at the store. Then there’s shipping...and maybe a bunch of cosmoline to deal with, with mail order. At half the price, why not buy two? One octagonal receiver, one round.
