Just think, it probably wouldn't have been that big of a deal if it hadn't been for that pesky GARAGE JOURNAL!!
If it really was supposed to be 59, at least we can say we had a good run.
Every picture on GJ from here on out should have at least one Gladiator cabinet in it!!
nah, $29.50 is the 75% off clearance price. $59 is the 50% off clearance price.
I don't know the pricing history on these, but it looks like most stores went from $118 to $59, then to $29.50 (1/2 off $59). But some stores seem to have skipped the 50% off and went right to 75% off ($29.50).
I picked up 3 at my closest store this weekend, and asked the guy to look up other nearby store inventory for me. One store about 25 miles away showed 14 in inventory- I finally got up there tonight and they had about 10 of them on the shelf that I saw, but the Clearance price was $59...
SO I asked one of the dept managers about it, told him the other store had them for $29.50 and that I had driven there to buy those because I ASSumed they'd be the same price. He said "yeah, I'll mark one down for you since you drove all the way out here".....I told him that I didn't want to take advantage of his kindness, but I really needed 4 of them (that's all I could fit in my car). He said SURE, and he marked 4 of them down no problem.
So, it pays to be nice and patient.
