This might be a good time for a reminder that the Bus Depot offers an
_ongoing_ 5% discount to list members on most orders over $50.  If your
order is over $500 the discount doubles to 10%.  Every time GW runs a sale,
we get a sales blip from customers who compared pricing and ended up
ordering from us. Since our average markup is lower to begin with, they
often find that 5-10 percent off a lower price is a better deal than 10-15
percent off of a higher price.   (One note to our non-U.S. customers, we are
currently working on shipping calculator improvements for orders going to
Canada and overseas; if you place an order and the shipping seems unusually
high, please feel free to email us for a re-quote.)

The discount codes are list1e for the 5% discount and PROJ1000 for the 10%
one. While the 10% discount is available to the public at large, the 5% one
is strictly for list members, so please don't publicize it off-list.  Both
discounts have certain exclusions, most notably items that are already on
sale, special-order or made-to-order items, engines/transmissions, and
tires/wheels.  The code goes in the "referral code" on checkout.

Have a great Labor Day weekend!
