The SAME ITEM magically costs $10+ more the next day!

Amazon.com... gotta love the INSTANT price increases of a virtual showroom. There is a cheaper version that does not include quarterly map updates, and a more expensive one that includes Canada.

Well, they gotta pay for that "Free" shipping somehow!

It seems like the Garmin GPS bubble has popped:

List Price: $149.99
Price: $119.00 & this item ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping. Details
You Save: $30.99 (21%)

Back down to original price.

So basically you really cannot 'impulse buy' on Amazon.... there was an almost $20 (~13%) swing in price over a week or so.
