Interesting. Maybe they changed back.

Last year I had used price matching there with my Garmin autopilot and Seastar helm and a VHF. Saved over $1000 and got reward points.

They told me I just got under the wire because they were about to make it so they only matched web vendors with physical presence within the state and the product had to be IN STOCK at the web vendor.


oh here is from their website...

I used it in Sarasota over the Holiday week. Worked easy. Their register has about 12 vendors they match...
