    too good to be true, bike nashbar

    got my (really Raleighdon's) new bike nashbar catalog
    and as always, I paged through it.
    To my surprise i found the RED Sidi dominators. and they were for sale
    for $69.00!!!!

    Before you could say rumplestiltskin, I had them on the phone. They have them in my size!!
    but wait,
    let's check the color. Sorry; they only come in black..

    sigh...

    I guess I still want them; they're a very good deal for $69. (but i want the red ones)

    okay, ready to ring them up? anything else?
    no.
    oh, excuse me, there's a typo. They're really $169.00

    oh.

    never mind.
    I'll wait for the red ones to come back.

    I saw those too, and went on their website - nothing there - if figured they had 1 pair and sold them.

    A $100 typo? Sheesh. They should sell them to you for $69. That said, they are a steal at $169, even if you have to get the black ones.

    Nashbar has the '04 women's Dominator mtb shoes (in black - size 35) for $59.

    Sigh. I don't think I'd get that on my big toe!
    Sidi doesn't even make women's shoes in my size. Drat!

    I don't believe the price. I'm willing to bet the whole row of those SIDI's was
    a typo.

    Me too! I saw those red Sidis in the Nashbar catalog on Tue. night, and jumped for joy. I have always wanted the red ones, for like, 4 years, but couldn't afford. On Wed. I went right online and saw that they only had the black, and only a size 35. And now I hear from you about the (huge) typo on the price, too. Uh, thanks for nothing Nashbar!

    They were sold out by the time I called the next day.
    I hope they decide to make some nice new ones soon.

    Correct me if I am wrong but $69 is 30% of $230, the original price. Nahsbar does say 70% off. I think the posted price is correct and the customer service person was wrong or at least in the wrong not to honor the listed price.

    I agree, but i was not assertive enough while there were still shoes available.
