Anyone Else Seeing Good 3e Sales?

I went to the FLGS yesterday and saw a sign that WotC 3e products were 20% off, but 3rd party 3e products were 40% off.
And what did I see, but Necro's City of Brass boxed set. I'd been wanting this for some time, but couldn't muster up the justification for $70. Now, at $40, that was a different story...
In addition to City of Brass, I was very happy to grab the Castle Zagyg: Moat Gates expansion.
I have a feeling that those sticking with 3e or 3e-compatible products like the Pathfinder RPG are going to make out like bandits in the coming weeks.
So, is anyone else seeing massive d20 sell-offs at their FLGSs?

Not really. They'll just move the stuff to the "out-of-print" section which means retail x 4.

Not at my local FLGS, but the one down the shore had a similar sale last month when I was there. I wasn't interested in anything they had, though. I would like to get Stormscape, etc. (whatever those environmental books are), for ideas, but I'm not paying a high price to skip through 50% of the book (feats, classes, and statblocks).

Usually when something is going out of print down here, our FLGS will try to sell at a discount for about a month or two, then takes whatever is left to our local used bookstore to unload before the newer version arrives. There's an awful lot of 3-3.5 stuff in the gaming section of our used bookstore at the moment, so that might be a good place for people to check out in their areas if they're interested.
Even better than that, Sieg and I have picked up quite a few good deals on 1E products over the years by trolling used bookstores!

A gaming store near me has had 3E on sale at 25% off for over a month now. Sales have continued to be nearly non existent.
