Default Hannibal Roof Rack from AB

I thought I'd share this story with you...

I was on the Hannibal USA website two days ago and requested a catalog. Yesterday morning I received the following e-mail from Atlantic British (Names removed to protect the somewhat innocent):

Wow man, that has to be an extreme typo for that kinda roof rack!! I would say something about it, just so they don't do it again.

Well...his email is a form of advertising....but it is an accident. I'll bet he'd give you 10% off if you asked.

You're right, I think if I was a real dick, I could press the issue legally and get something out of it. I already have a 10% off certificate from my last AB purchase, and if he gave me an additional 10%, that would be a sweet deal, especially since I'm buying the rack and tent. That's about $600 off in total.
