Yep.
I had a similar issue with Dick's Sporting Goods. They had a shotgun I wanted, for $200 off the normal price. I stopped by the local Dick's, just in time to catch the only one they had in stock being sold.
They re-ran the special the next week, I drove up to Chicago and visited two Dick's, both were out of stock. I went to a Gander Mountain with the ad to try to get them to price-match. They called Dick's...they told me that they had a policy that they would only price match items in-stock at the competing store. Seems Dick's has a habit of shipping ONE item to each store then putting it on special at some super-duper price.
This particular special continued to run for another six weeks. I continued to stop in the local Dick's to see if they ever got another one of those shotguns. They never did.
