Is there anywhere local that has cheap generic SPF+ transceivers (e.g. FS.com cheap)

Also, in a related rant, it's really annoying that trying to find spf transceivers on both pricespy and priceme (aka Geekzone price compare) generates results for makeup and suncreen, because what were great platforms for finding the cheapest IT gear are now trying to be sites for everything under the sun. Stop it. Go back to just doing IT part price comparisons you bastards. /rant

I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

There is the odd bit of cheap gear on Trademe, other than that fs.com is practically local...

The search term needs to be SFP not SPF :)

Pretty sure FS have an Aussie warehouse now, if its in stock there it ships pretty quickly (well at least it did pre global pandemic).

Depends if you need compatibility or not and what optic you are looking for. MMF optics are pretty cheap in NZ

Here's a pari of 10g MMF for Cheap

Most problems are the result of previous solutions...

I was going to say, Mikrotik and Ubiquiti brand optics are pretty cheap these days!
