Jeff, you got the information that you passed along from Youtube.  One thing that almost everyone has learned is that Youtube may be a source for all kinds of odd claims that may or may not have anything to do with reality.  It is not a matter of trusting you, but trusting Youtube.  When I got the note from you, I immediately checked the GoWesty web site.  There was nothing there concerning a leap year sale.

I called GoWesty, got a voice machine, and left a message asking for confirmation of the sale.  I never got a call back.  I emailed GoWesty, and asked for confirmation of the sale.  I never got a response.

That seems like enough to me for thinking the Youtube spot might be some kind of mistake.  But, I sent a reply to the Vanagon list to try to find out if anyone had actually successfully made use of this purported sale.  When I finally got someone responding who said that he did, I tried to make use of it myself.  The item I wanted to buy was listed as out of stock.   The web page still made no mention of a leap year sale, but since others say they used it successfully, I suppose they must have.
