Yeah, prices go up before 20% off sales. That's just how they roll. Apparently, there are some companies with variable pricing that use cookies to see how many times you visit a certain product's page. If you visit it a lot, or leave it in your cart for a few days, the price does rise slightly, not so much that you'd notice right away, but some. Don't know if nashbar is one of those companies or not.
