You are considering the Nikon AX-2s 20x Automatic Level pictured. It is in almost new condition with little, (VERY little) evidence of use. I found the following online:

Nikon Automatic Levels are Compact and lightweight. This automatic level features a magnetic-dampened automatic compensator to level the line of sight; quality Nikon® optics for bright, sharp, detailed images; and rugged water-resistant construction. The horizontal tangent knobs on this Nikon Level can be operated with either hand and feature an unlimited range to ensure smooth, precise pointing and angular measurement. Carrying case, lens cap, plumb bob, adjustment tool, and vinyl dust cover included.

I'm asking just $179. These are going for $299+ all day long over at the "Dark Side". Grab mine and take your girl to dinner with the money you saved! :)

Please have a good look at the picture(s) for cosmetic condition details. Keep in mind that almost all of what I sell has been previously owned, and as such, you should expect to see some evidence of use. To the best of my ability, I note all significant cosmetic and operational flaws. If you would like a more detailed description, feel free to contact me (before you decide to purchase) and I will answer your questions.

This item would be the perfect gift for the contractor in your family!

Please note that most of my listings have a "Buy It Now" price. Please make a reasonable offer and you might just win this item right now!

As with all of my items for sale, I am here after the sale to advise you at any time and for any reason. How's that for Service?!!!

Shipping with tracking to US addresses only is $15 for this large, heavy package (blame the USPS for the recent rate hike. It never ends...). An insurance value of up to $50 is included in the shipping fee. Additional insurance is available for higher value items but YOU MUST ASK FOR AND PAY FOR IT. If there is a loss in transit and you didn't buy additional insurance, your maximum refund payment will be $50. In any case, your refund payment will not exceed the item's actual sale price.

One more thing; if you have a problem of any kind, be it merchandise, shipping or service related, please, PLEASE contact me right away and I will make things right. That is my PROMISE to you. When you buy from me (or any on-line retailer), it is just common courtesy to contact them, to let them (us) know there's a problem BEFORE you leave a neutral or negative Feedback / Review. Anything less than Positive Feedback / Positive Review causes real-world problems that reach well beyond YOUR experience. These impulsive, premature actions can cause thousands of dollars to be lost and the simple solution to this reality is an email. That's it. Virtually all small shop owners want you to have nothing but the best possible experience. We want you to come back and buy again. Just a little communication and everyone's happy. So, in the unlikely event that an item has not performed to expectations, please contact me right away (no longer than one week). If we are unable to correct the issue (through email, phone calls and other messaging), I will ask you to return the item and ACE Camera Exchange will repair or exchange said item with an identical or fundamentally similar item. Of course, we will have conversation (regarding the identical or fundamentally similar item) to determine which solution is suitable for you. Shipping costs remain the responsibility of the buyer and are never refunded. Additionally, ACECamera Exchange reserves the right to correct clerical errors after the sale but before shipping, which could be related (but not limited to) incorrect quantities, incorrect pricing, incorrect shipping & insurance fees. Geeze! I feel like a corporate lawyer with all of this talk but circumstances require it. :(   I appreciate you taking time to read this and I do hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Chris
