MK18 has been discontinued about a year ago. I was told that MK17 will be on US market next month. If then, I think MK16 will be gone too.
$289 is a typical sale price if it comes with G250HP, not G250. I am sure your LDS want to get rid of it ASAP. My LDS was asking $350 or $369, so I didn't get it about six month ago.

I'm guessing that you're in San Diego, as I am. The MK18/G250HP is a great rig. I love mine. (Bought mine last year at the same sale!)
This is a great price for it too. You won't regret it. And you won't beat the price, either!

It's a great reg and a great price. The Mk 17 is coming out soon in the US (I hope) but it does not incorporate a swivel, so if you want am SP diaphragm first stage with a swivel grab it while you can.
My understanding was that the Mk 16 was dc'd July 25th in the US, so I am looking for some great clearance prices.

I love my mk18 g250. It was my primary reg until I went to doubles and bought a Dive Rite 2500 for my long hose. But the 18/250 is still bungeed around my neck on every dive. I paid $340 for mine a couple years ago at the LDS. That was a great deal. $289 is even better.
I just picked one up on ebay this weekend for $128!
I haven't decide if I am going to put a DIN connector on it and use it on my stage bottle, or if I am going to leave the yoke on and use it for my travel reg.

Yes, sounds like a great deal. I also am very happy with my Mk18/g250. I got mine in San Diego probably at the same place. My deal was a package that also included a Halcyon BC and the r390 octopus. A year later the package deal went down by another $50 after the halxyon eclipse wing came out.
I have kept the mk18 yoke, but I use it with a steel tank pressured a 3442 so I may switch to DIN one of these days.
