Well, maybe. But they lost the sale to Adorama. The $1796.95 price is what showed in the thumbnail ads but the higher price was on their website when I clicked through from one of the thumbnails or when I went via browser and login. I just looked again and as you say the price is back down. Whatever, whether it was a glitch or a premature price change, it pushed me to make a purchase decision and to purchase from someone else. I can see them raising the price by $500 and then giving a special 15% discount price for a limited period, which would still be a net price increase.
