I have bought them new off ebay for around 125.00 compared to cabellas at 159.00 and always buy a lock box with the python cable not that someone will take but i have had it happen and the harder it is to easliy take the better chance you have of it being there when you come back. i also bought the moultrie 12v solar panal and have ran my cameras all winter long and season long and havent had to replace batteries for years.
hit me up if you have Questions The 880 was also upgraded to take HD video as well with Audio which is cool to hear what is really going on.

Have you had any problems with the solar panel in weather? Being weather resistant versus weather proof has me worried for on the west side here.
