Yes, sometimes it's possible to get a better price with coupons but not always.
Thanks. I didn't recall that one saw the total price, taxes and fees, before the bid is submitted.

As for that patent, I do recall sometime back reading about how the owner of PL wanted to sell, but didn't get his price, and a good part of the value was in the patent(s). Does that patent give him/them a lock on this bidding thing?
