Arizona Rock & Mineral Sale

I received an email today from Arizona Rock & Mineral about a twelve-hour sale on certain products.  Because I was low on ballast, and we all know that AR&M makes some of the best scale ballast available, I ordered four bags of ballast.  It would appear that I got a discount on items not even flagged for sale.  Give AR&M some business, folks, by stocking up now!

It appears none of the N-Scale sized are on sale.  Or at least PRR Grey and Black cinders aren't.  I spot checked others but found various "Powder" and "HO" sized on sale.

The FaceBook page says:

Quote from: Arizona Rock & Mineral Company
At 1pm Arizona Time 1152 - 1222 - 1302 -1352 and 1382 will go on sale for 12 hours.

None of those stock numbers represent N-Scale items.  But the savings on the ones on sale are nice.  I saw an HO scale bag normally $6 listed as $3.  And some powders were $0.79

@reinhardtjh,

I bought four bags of CSX-NS ballast in HO scale size and expected to pay $6.00 per bag.  Only after I completed the sale, did I see the total come in at $20.99.  I thought I screwed up or they were low on stock and could not complete the order.  But, my invoice clearly shows four bags at $3.00 per bag!  Glad I stocked up!

Yeah.  My cart definately has full price still on the bags.

I looked at the NS/CSX Bright Gray and the N is listed at $7 and the HO is listed at $6 $3

Unless there is a coupon code (Not seen on the Facebook page) I don't think there is any discount on what I want.

and the really lousy thing is that the SALE image shows on all regardless
even when placing the NScale ballast into cart
i thought perhaps that the sale price would be adjusted in the "in cart ...
get shipping amount" stage of the purchase. but, no...nothing but full
price.
oh well ... i still have a fairly good supply of the PRR grey and cinder
ballast


nonetheless ... thankful, Dave, that you were able to cash in on the savings!


sincerely

Thanks for the tip on the sale.  I placed an order for several items that were half off or more.
