Subject: 9sp chain for 9 bucks shipped
|
I just ordered a 9sp chain for $9.16, shipped, from Nashbar:
http://www.nashbar.com/results.cfm?category=76&subcategory=1099&storetype=&init=y&pagename=
It's product #NS-CN9. Free shipping today until midnight, code SHP510.
When you click to the individual product page and shopping cart, it lists
the price as $14.99, but I called and got the $8.45 price.
I've been using this same model chain for about a year. It's been as good
as any other. Some older KMC chains were absolute crap, but these days
they're great.
The 8sp one on my MTB has been great too. In fact it's half of a tandem
chain that I bought for under $10.
Stock up while you can, it's worth it -- unless the tandem ones come on
sale again!

Ooops! Meant $8.45, not $9.99

It's possible that the price was in the process of going up, not down,
when the OP came across the item. Thus, when Nashbar finished the
change, it was $14.99, not $9.99.
Bear in mind that Nashbar uses price to adjust inventory levels. When
they sold off enough of those chains @ $9.99, the price reverted to
$14.99.

I don't get it. I see the 14.99 price in both places, and she did
too, and refused to change it.

How did you know to ask for that lower price? Was it in a catalog or
something?

When they change prices on an item, it first shows up on the product
description page- the category page with all the other chains can take a day
sometimes to update. Some stupid old school scripting program they run on
that side of the office.
Call Customer Service, they will match it.
