So if we order online on Thursday of Friday we'll get the discount, correct?
Yes, I think so.
Last year a bunch of us got the Pro-106 for around $320 before shipping and taxes. That was a good deal then, and was the result of a sale price plus some coupon codes that we found. I don't think that deal has been beat from Radio Shack directly yet (not including employee discounts, etc).
So for this scanner to be priced at $299 this time around is a good deal for anyone considering one. I am sure this thread will get bumped up as Black Friday actually arrives. I think we will probably be able to find another coupon code good for at least $25 for online purchases. There usually is. So if you wait, and buy online, there is the potential that this will be around $275.
I am almost tempted to grab a Pro-197 this time around, even though I don't really need one. Almost too good to pass up. These models are excellent.
