Same with Nashbar- they now just dont need to play the game and can provide consistent pricing. I hope the appeal of consistent prices brings in more people than who will leave due to the cancellation of inflated prices for sales.
Even when I buy at Kohls occasionally, that "discount" really annoys me too. I compare after-discount prices anyway, so I don't get fooled. But it is annoying. At least they now have electronic price tags so I don't have to do the math myself.
So I'm in favor of Nashbar getting rid of sales and have low-normal prices all the time. Actually Nashbar lost many sales to me when I googled for prices of items and I just saw their "original" high price. Just recently I bought a Brooks saddle from Nashbar, but only because for some reason i actually put that $130 saddle in the basket to see it is only $100.
don't get me started on car MSRP and cash on the hood...

One reason, besides good prices and service, to buy from CRC is that they make it easy to find things. All other stores don't seem to get it... they expect the customer to somehow know where to find things.
