Do Eggs cost more in sunny locales?

It seems that BGE dealers around here are selling Eggs at (or just above) MSRP. Even buying a "starter package" with nest, PS, and mates doesn't really save anything. And, as far as I can tell, we don't seem to have any Eggfests here for decent pricing opportunities. Is that normal across the country or is it because I live in a sunny locale (AZ) where you can grill year around? Or some other reason?

Don't think it has anything to do with sunshine. Distance from a distributor might. Shop several dealers and see what they have. If there is only one in your city, herein lies the problem. Consider going to another city where there could be more BGE Dealers. If no competition locally, you may need to create it. If you find a better deal see if your local dealer will match it.......In the middle of Georgia! Geaux Tigers!!!!!

I think I know where you are looking check the date on the price list. Pretty sure it is 2012.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

I just called a place in Tucson. $1305 for a LBGE in a nest with a PS.

Wow, $699 is a good price. Here in the Midwest you can usually get around $849 and then some help on the accessories. We are hardly sunny, but I do grill year round.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking.

I agree it doesn't have to do with the sunshine as much. I am in GA where BGE headquarters is and we can get pretty good deals here. You definitely have to look around though- plenty of people pay "retail" prices here as well.
$1305 for a large, nest, and PS is definitely high! I recall there was an Eggfest in the Desert in Phoenix but I don't see any posts about it since 2012.
This is probably poor form on my part, but there is a KJ Roadshow coming up in a couple of areas in AZ

If the best price I could find for a large egg was $1300, I would be thinking really hard about a KJ.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
