It was at a "company store" where many good deals can be found on returned products and samples and what not, but the catch is everything is sold as-is with no refunds. I wasn't sure of the MSRP on this remote when I saw it in the store, so I ran home and looked it up. By the time I looked up the price and made it back to the store (about 30 minutes), it was already gone to another lucky soul. :) Upon checking them out afterwards, these are very good remotes. A friend of mine had a Pronto that was very user-friendly, but his wife found it cumbersome to use. He picked up the Harmony 880 and hasn't heard a complaint since. She really likes the macros he's set up with a convenient label on the screen next to the button for her to know what to press. Now she just hits "Watch TV" or "Watch a DVD" or whatever to change TV input, receiver settings, etc automatically for her. All of this worked the same on the Pronto, but the Harmony has that regular remote look/feel to it that pretty much everyone is accustomed to using.
