This was posted a couple weeks ago as well. Speculation was made as to why the sale on something that is usually in high demand.

That was at 263 and I expect delivery on Monday at that price , now 236.00. Guess I should have waited a week!

Dang. That was me that started that thread, and now it is down to $236. Very, very tempting...

It's listed as clearance. I wonder if a newer version is on the horizon?
I have mine for years and wouldn't part with it.

Not sure when the latest (B-4) version was released, but, they don't change it much over the years. This was found in their online manual.
Midway seems to show clearance to reduce inventory to a certain level, but, usually shows how many items are left at the clearance price. Coax only shows as "available".
