Darian...
I hit up just about every HL in our state when I found out that they wouldn't be carrying the AT line, due to the fact that they couldn't be reordered. I picked up quite a few Econo's for half price.
This didn't have anything to due with a 1/2 off sale. Most of the stores had them marked down when I got to them already and the others....well..I helped persuade them a bit.
Oh, and the salespersons told me they never run motors on sale, at HL.
But, like most people post here, they never seem to pay attention to their own policies and usually, if it's a rocket related item, and it's a 1/2 off sale, they'll give you the price.
I'd bring them (the AT motors) up to the checkout and if they don't give you 1/2 off, I guess decide if you still want them or not.
Either way, HL will not be carrying the AT line of products, according to them, and Joe Burger from AT, in the future. Although Joe says they plan on trying to have HL carry their products again, possibly. At this point, I'd grab the motors at any HL as you more than likely will not see them there again. But, it doesn't hurt to ask if they'll discount them as they are a discontinued item.
