I went to petco looking for a light to put on my 29g. I saw this:

http://www.amazon.com/CL-30-AQUALIG...NL42/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1308943746&sr=8-4

Its a 30" corallife single bulb 65w light fixture. I was kind of disappointed that was the only light that fit what I wanted and was a little pricey for what I wanted to buy. It was priced at $99.99.

I decided I might as well get it and I can always use it down the road again someday, it wont go to waste. So I get to the counter, and he rings it up, $99.99 shows up, then he manually changes the price to $22.00. He tells me the total is $40 something and I was playing it cool and trying to get out as fast as I could with this steal.

I get out of the store and the receipt said $99.00, and under "Price Change: $22.00". I was very excited. But karma happens and I cracked my 29g cleaning it, and had to buy another. I ended up still spending less then I would have if the light was price $99, so all and all I was still happy.
 
ME THINKING : "can't say something nice....say nothing at all...." ***ME BITING MY TONGUE............OUCH!*** BITING MY TONGUE AGAIN...........OUCH!!..........
 
Please share.

Keep in mind the light said $99 on it, he rang it in as $99, but manually changed it to $22.
 
Sorry but this is funny. I had a good one happen 2 years ago. I was looking to find a good saltwater filter and found one that had been returned for 150. I argued with the manager for almost 45 mins and he lowered it to 125. So I went to ring out and when the filter was scanned it came up 45, so in total amazement the manager calls central office and seconds before it was rang out they had lowered it to final closeout clearance price. I was very happy!!
 
Nice!
 
I love them. Using it on my 29g for my flowerhorn. Its a very nice light too.


Maybe the best $22 I have ever spent.
