Knowing that REI usually has a big sale in January, I'm going to see what kind of angle I can work on picking up the Terrafix 406 GPS I/O.
They sell it for nearly $50.00 more than everyone else ($699.00), but with the 20% discount of their January Sale, if it's the same as last year, that brings the price down to $559.20 and If I redeem my dividend dollars for membership purchases on that I can bring it down even further. My whole extended family uses my card, so I have quite a few points built up. Unfortunately, since it's a January sale and ACR's $75.00 rebate period only lasts until December 31, I won't be able to claim that.
Eh... I'm probably dreamin'... There's probably some small print stuff I forgot about that would keep such things as PLBs out of any sales. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
I'll wait and see. I don't have the money to get a PLB now, and If I can't work some angle on it in January, I won't get one then either, and will have to save a little longer.
