This downturn is probably seasonal, but the trend overall is up.As always, don't trust the internet, seek professional advice.

Are you saying no internet access or just no wifi?

It is 2018 you can find anything on the internet.

Trust me, they will not turn away a paying customer the next day and there's a 99.9% chance the same deal they swore would expire, will not have expired if you still want it.Another thing you could do, if it's just a "course" you'd be interested in buying (as opposed to a boot camp or mentoring program), is not buy it at the event, but ask around in your local REIA or post on the Internet to see if there's anyone else who bought the course and doesn't need it any more, who'd be willing to sell it cheaply.
