[TR] Vendor "Sales"

This is mostly a rant so feel free to stop reading here......

I've been waiting for a good winter sale to buy new wire wheels for my
TR4A.  So I was happy to get the "Buy More Save More" email from a supplier,
lets call them "M", promising 15% off orders over $1000.  I read the fine
print to see what's excluded, find nothing excluding wire wheels, and then
go to "M's" website preparing to order.  When I get to the price list I find
that the price of the wheels has gone up nearly 15% since I checked last in
January (15x4.5" 60 spoke painted wheels were $208, now are $236). There is
no real "sale".

Anyway, I guess I shoudn't be surprised by this, its certainly not the only
time a retailer has been misleading with this kind of sale, but I am a
disappointed customer.  For now my money is staying in my pocket.  The sale
is in effect until April 1st so the question is whether the sale is simply a
delay of a price increase or will prices magically go back down after the
"sale" is over.
