I think Carina does some sales too, but I"ve only bought from there once and I don't remember if it was price-related.

I wonder if, while the publisher had their retail sale on, they also had a sale on the wholesale prices they charged the retailers? It would be up to each retailer whether they passed the savings on to their customers or not. At least the retailers wouldn't grumble about being undercut by their supplier.
