Thanks,

In the same boat, though I'd be looking for less than $110 for an SR-125, otherwise an SR-60/80 wouldn't be bad.

I should probably say that the e-mail mentions that as it gets closer and closer to April 1, the discounts will increase. So if the prices aren't low enough tomorrow, we can wait a few days and see what happens. The problem is, they could sell out before I can get back there. I don't want to make more than a few trips, since it takes almost an hour to get there and back. I'll have to gauge how long it will be before they sell out by the number of people in the store while I'm there. Of course, I'll be there before most people get off of work.

Wow I love sales like that. I especially love sales like that in which you know an employee or something well enough for them to hold something until it becomes as cheap as it'll get

. Do you happen to have such a connection socks?

If you could get 225s on sale for even less than the SR-125s new, I'm sure that the public would want that.

That's true. We'll just have to see tomorrow.

Heh, hoping for >$100 for a SR-125 here. Although $110 isn't too shabby. Got my fingers crossed

Maybe they might further discount for buying in bulk? That would be nice. Or maybe they might kick you out because they think you're going to turn around and sell them for more, which would not be optimal.

Yikes, I didn't think of that. I guess there's a slim chance that one of the guys will remember me (he's probably still there) since they probably don't get many people my age. Maybe I'll just print out a transcript of this thread and bring it with me. If worst comes to worst, perhaps people would be willing to call and vouch for me?

Yeah, I'll definitely bring a transcript with me. But 8 hours? I'll have the info at 5pm Pacific Standard Time. That's in 19.5 hours.

EDIT: Updated the list.

EDIT2: I'm gone. I'll update the list in the morning, and before I leave at about 3:30pm PST.
