yup, funny story how I ended up at that price. Yesterday on Amazon it was $483.00 + about $29.00 tax, total of $512. Today when I logged back on the price was $511.00 for a total of over $540 with tax
, wtf? I hate when they pull that shit, seems like they know you're looking at it & when you don't pull the trigger right away they jack the price up. Still the price was lower than buying it directly from Currie or places like Quadratec, their 'pre-tax' price is $550 & up.
I then looked at the 'other sellers' section on Amazon & there were a few at $490 with free shipping, just not under Prime, & when I popped one in my cart they automatically applied an "Amazon Discount" of $30, I've never seen that before. Then, you know that annoying 'apply for an Amazon credit card' tab that's always flashing up in the corner, well this one was waiving around a $70 instant discount so I finally said fuck it & grabbed one, that's a nice little chunk of change for doing nothing. Anyway when all was said & done it brought the price down to around $390 so even with tax it only crawled back to $413, I'm pretty happy with that. It's scheduled to arrive between Thursday & the following Tuesday which is fine, my current one is functional & I'm heading to the mountains this coming Saturday which is sooner than I'd be able to get this thing on there even if it showed up tomorrow...
