Does Parallax ever have killer sales on their robotics?

As in the EV3 discussion, I have noted that the Lego robots ocassionally come on sale at significantly reduced pricing.

So does Parallax ever have killer sales on their robots?

If so, when and how much is the reduction in price?

Thanks for the info.

    Watch the daily deals on the main website:

    http://www.parallax.com/

    '    They sometimes bundle a bunch of products together on a weekend or a holiday.

    You have to check everyday.

    EDIT: Also check out the upper left corner on the home page for sales items.

    Ebay and IIRC, somebody got some killer deal on BoeBots during the Radio Shack meltdown.

    Check back on Black Friday. I purchased my S2 for $90 on a Black Friday sale.

    Just to echo erco, check ebay with seller id pbasic1, that's Parallax.

    I haven't heard a peep out of Pololu about their Black Friday sale, but I know it's coming and I'll overbuy again.

    We do have a Black Friday sale planned with 15% off select robot kits this year. :)

    That "somebody" was me...a large box of BoeBots that has been forgotten in the back room.

    That pricing will not be repeated again..thankfully for the sake of Radio Shack/Parallax.

    I also purchased numerous BoeBots during the Vex Robot Purge Era of several years back...again at insane pricing.

    My immediate interest is that I may spring for some Parallax robots for my nephews and nieces and am interested in the past history of Parallax offering their bots here online.

    We also have a pretty huge sensor sale planned for Cyber Monday and some very nice pricing on select BASIC Stamps during the holiday season. Please stay tuned (and maybe get your credit cards ready). ;)

    Again thanks for the heads up.

    FWIW...knowing a sale is coming helps me spend my money here and not elsewhere.

    I got my Wild Thumper at 10% off. Can't remember what the sale was for, possibly July 4th.
