I was thinking that was quite a selection for the Provo, Utah airport, but then read a little closer. Did you grab one on the way out?

I've been to that AD before. Very nice selection for such a small airport!

Is it just the tax you save?

whenever I compared duty free prices...they say tax free however the base price is higher to start with so dont trust pricing in duty free stores.

I did not buy anything, but I was impressed to see the two YMII, ceramic daytona, WG sub and the sky dwell. Providenciales is a very (V E R Y) small airport, yet the selection was pretty impressive IMHO.

I agree on the tax/price issue. When asked, I always tell people, 'know your prices'. It might look like a great deal once you are there (you are on vacation...caribbean...maybe on a cruise...plus you already had 4 mojitos) but you might get a better deal here (@ trusted sellers) or back home. Yes, I have seen great opportunities but far more 'deals' that were not what they seemed.

Yes...this is what I found...wanted a new Tumi briefcase...duty free price was flagged as cheap but actually their price was more expensive by $20 over full price in stores here in U.S.

It's been years since I've been over there! That's a nice selection.
