Amazon had a deal that expired May 8th. It's May 9th on the east coast right now, where I am. But it's still May 8th on the West Coast, with almost 2 hours to spare as I write this. I might contact a friend of mine in California if this deal is still active.

The Mosquito Magnet 4000MM Defender was $160.96, and after you applied coupon "TOOLS10P", the price dropped to 144.86. Now, when I look at the Amazon page, it now lists it for $229.94. If you happen to live on the West Coast, what price do you see?

Tried finding an open proxy located on the West coast ?

Prices are usually based on their (Amazon's) clock, not yours. I see $229 from the west coast.

Damn--I guess I missed it. I was going to buy it last night, but I decided to sleep on it -- a $90 mistake it seems. And I hate mosquitos almost as much as they seem to love me!

Yeah, but shouldn't be the Amazon clock on PST ? After all, Amazon is from Seattle, WA, right ?

Well, the 10% coupon might still be active on the West Coast, or it should be. But I guess Amazon jacked up the price of the item itself-- which is their right. That was a good deal -- free shipping too.
