Garmin 910xt Price

X2

Many promo and discount sales will exclude certain items; Garmin usually maintains pretty good price controls on whatever their "latest" product is, so you don't often see it offered for less than the standard price ($400 for unit, $450 for "bundle").

DC Rainmaker is keeping a list of some big sale items; didn't see the 910XT on it, but there's some pretty good offers out there on lots of goodies...

***UPDATE***

The Black Friday sale at Art's Cyclery is now live...25% off everything, and looks like it can be applied to the 910!  Use the code "BLACKFRIDAY" at checkout, just tested it with a 910 and looks like it works.  $300 is a STEAL for one of these!

Yep, I just ordered (11-21-12 noon) a Garmin 910XT for $299.99 total with free 2 day shipping. 

Thank u for the heads-up Stillmanji.

Caution--Arts 910XT for $299.99 does NOT include the chest strap and for some reason the Garmin chest strap they sell does not list the 910XT compatable. (may b a typo).

A handful of very lucky people got a 910xt at SBR NYC for $225  In store only have confirmed though, online orders people have been getting emails about cancellation/not in stock.

The black friday thread will probably be on the first page of tri talk for the next week so keep checking that for updates.

Garmin website deals go live 5pm CST today with deals up to 50% off.  IMO not going to be the 910xt though, its one of the newest (the newest?) product in their sports watch lineup.

One thing worth mentioning now that I am not in retail but still in this industry:

When forum contributors who mean well by sharing a great deal on a price protected product like Garmin, etc. share a discount price with the name of the retailer on a public forum, other retailers see that. They contact their Garmin rep or Garmin directly knowing this could potentially violate a pricing/distribution rule for a given brand, in this case Garmin for instance.

Garmin would then, very, very quickly, contact that retailer and request they pull that promotion at once.

The process can take as little as 15 minutes from posting to pulling.

So, if you post an extraordinary deal on any brand that is traditionally price sensitive and/or has controlled distribution through their dealer network, that may influence the continuance of that promotion.

Also, there are people at larger companies whose only job is to surveil outlets that may countervene their dealer's distribution standards. When they find those they will make the necessary contacts to compel compliance with the distribution standards.

If you have a discount code, you will be able to apply it when you check out and your discount will be displayed. You may only use one coupon code per order. Please note that some of our manufacturers do not allow discounting on their products. They include, but are not limited to: Cervelo, Polar, Zipp, SRAM, Hed, QR, Kinetic, Garmin, and KASK products.

And it's not like this was the first time either.  I bought mine from Arts about a month ago using their 20% off discount code and posted about it.  I know several other BTers also took advantage of that offer.  Arts always has a Save10 or Save15 code at all times.  It has always worked with Garmins in the past so I don't think it was an error.  They probably just got caught by Garmin.  I figured that they were doing it for so long it must have been okay.
