Now I'm in a rural area where people are friendlier and stores are less
hectic, so the following may not apply to a large metropolitan area. But
here is what happened in my case. The website said "low stock" for my
location as well.  So I called the store (armed with the SKU number found on
the website), and the fellow in the actual department confirmed that he only
had a display model left. I asked for a discount, and he offered $25 (at
which time my eyes bulged out).  I asked if he'd hold it for 20 minutes
while I drove there, and he agreed. Now it's in my Vanagon.  Might be worth
a call; nothing to lose.
