If anyone is looking for a weather/all hazard radio, this price is almost unbelievable. I have a Midland WR100 and it has been a great radio. The WR300 uses S.A.M.E. technology so you can program to give alerts for only the areas that you wish to monitor.

The vendor is Target and it can be purchased through Target.com or Amazon.com. I ordered 10 units through Amazon and used GoodShop, so ETS should get a cut. These will make great, inexpensive gifts for my loved ones!

Here's the link to the item on Amazon but using this particular link might bypass GoodShop.

Thanks,
I was able to get one last night before heading out.
I appreciate the tip.

My wife saw a similar jaw-dropper on a Target.com car safety seat. It normally sells for $220 and was listed yesterday for about $50. One of her friends (she posts on a board for moms) called Customer Service and was told that someone accidentally set some of the Target.com item prices incorrectly. For example, these WR300 radios were supposed to be $8.49 off the regular price; not sold for $8.49.

I am sure someone's head will roll for this, but they are apparently (for the carseats, at least) going to honor the price. I hope the same is true for the WR300 radios (I got 3).

I wondered why the price was so low but I thought maybe it was just the beginning of what might turn out to be a very competitive Christmas shopping season.

I'm sure it will be. Just not that competetive.
