Mmm its $604 they must have raised there prices recently.http://www.performancepeddler.com/SC...l=ION&sCtrl=Y:

[snobrdrdan]

nope

I've bought some stuff from them before a couple years ago, and I would just go down to their warehouse in Royal Oak to pick them up & save them the shipping & they discounted the products for me too (because they didn't have to pay shipping--they offer "free shipping" on everything)

Anyways...after the 1st purchase, they "upgraded" my account to preffered customer pricing which is cheaper than what they list on their site (obviously).

It used to be available for all customers (preffered pricing).....it just said to call them for the discount on their website, but that went away after their business picked up

So yeah....when I login on their website they list it for $419.08 SHIPPED
