Don't they lose a lot of money if the site is down even for just a little while?
Yes, they lose sales.

However, considering Amazon sells products are grocery store margins, I doubt it'll hurt their bottom line much, if at all.

The price of the core system is normally $299. Amazon had it on sale for $100.00 with free shipping no-tax for most people. $199.00 off of the price seems like a really good deal to try and get in on. Don't tell me, you don't ever shop or buy items that are on sale to save money... right?

It looks like amazon has dropped the price of that mongoose bike from $150 to $99. I wonder what inspired the drop?
