RASC 2020 Observer's Handbook - got a good price!

[smp]

I was just able to order the RASC 2020 Observer's Handbook USA Edition for USD $22.06 + $5.95 shipping, for a total of USD $28.01.

I got an e-mail from Astronomy My Science Shop indicating that they had this on sale for $25.95 plus shipping. I looked around, and many places are indicating that they are sold out at this time, and a few places offer it for $30+ plus shipping. I went through the entire ordering process, and got to the end where it was indicating $25.95 plus $5.95 shipping, and I got cold feet, feeling that I didn't really need another book. When I was moving off the web page, going to leave the order unprocessed, I got a pop-up notice providing a code to get another $3.89 off, so I went ahead and ordered, as I showed above.

I don't know if this was a random thing or if it may be available for anyone, in order to not lose the business, but I figured that I'd let folks know so others who may be interested can give it a try to save the shipping cost and a bit more than that.

Good luck! If anyone else is interested and able to get this deal, please post back.

I just heard a snippet on the news that online retailers are doing that - you set up an order, get a price, but if you cancel you'll get a pop-up or something with a "special" discount code.

Wonder if that works for Swarovski binos...
