No they don't go on sale.A few years back I looked everywhere and thru my research I found out about MAP. here read this.
"It's a policy that manufacturers call MAP or minimum advertised pricing. In exchange for a retailer accepting advertising dollars from the manufacturer (Weber, for example), the retailer will not advertise those items below a certain price. You may recall seeing some newspaper or magazine ads that included the words "Call for price" to avoid breaking the rule and having the manufacturer slap the retailer's wrist or pull its line. Today you're more likely to see "click for price" when shopping online."
I did find a deal on Amazon,thru Amazon Warehouse it was a damaged box and was $75 cheaper for the Weber Q 220.
EDIT I did find THIS
When I got it the box was scuffed up pretty bad but the way they package things I think you could drop it off the roof and it would not be damaged.There was nothing wrong and it was in perfect condition.
I regularly check there and have found great deals. Always when shopping Amazon look at the bottom of the ad and sometimes it will say "new or used from a dollar amount that may be cheaper" that is how I found mine,thru the warehouse deals.They are returns and or damaged packaging. I have bought a lot of things that way and only once has there been a problem,if there is you can still return it,the same return policy applies to them too.
