I had a similar situation with the Nexus 9 tablet. "I should get a Nexus 9, I do a lot of Android app development on my Nexus 7 and it is getting long in the tooth, $400... not bad" -> Nexus 9 on sale for half-price on release day (limited quantities) -> Missed the release window -> "Nexus 9 just doubled in price, I don't want to pay $400 for one" Rationally I recognize that the value of the Nexus 9 relative to the $400 regular price didn't change at all due to the temporary sale, but emotional-response-wise it doesn't matter.
