    I highly doubt you will find one, unfortunately. Ecotech has set the price such that a company cannot offer the MP10 wes for less than $285. Same goes for the radions and other vortech's that Ecotech sells. You can buy a used one for a little cheaper, but they hold their value very well.

    You will never find one. They have MAP pricing and no one is allowed to discount a Vortech product. They do this so smaller retailers like local LFS can stay price competitive and so that the product doesn't get devalued through discounts.

    you could talk to your LFS and they could offer you some store credit if you buy from them

    Thanks guys, I used the money to buy some acro colonies, got some credit there, 10$ off each colony.

    Gc, that's not the wireless version, that's why its 235. :p thanks though!

    This is true for online sellers. Every LFS by me during xmas and boxing day throws ALL dry goods into 15% discount. Not allowed for them to mention certain companies because of MAP issues, but theres always a bonus for visiting your lfs.

    purchased both of mine at 20% discounts last year.

    They were breaking there agreement with ecotech and run the risk of losing the right to sell ecotech products by doing this
