Sears.com hot deals and clearance thread

[7avalon7]

No, just a customer, but I READ the reports and do my own research rather than relying on the misinformed media who are spinning reports.

Little chance of them failing in the next five years or so, let's make the check-in an annual event. Memorial day next year?

The 10K. Have you read it? As others have noted, they are posting profits, but more significantly, cash flow. Many companies prosper for years posting losses, provided they can maintain cash flow. Don't let accounting practices intended to legally reduce tax liability with a true loss or floundering company.

Well aware they have closed underperforming stores while opening new ones in more profitable areas. Great example of the media effort to "spin" the story - they report on the closing stores but not one word about the many new stores they are opening. It's really just typical retail business, any chain opens and closes stores each year.

Nice attempt to spin yourself without actually answering his question. Can you actually name two new locations they have opened this year? I know of all of the Sears stores within probably 300 miles of me (and have visited most of them), and while some in pretty upscale populated areas have closed, not one has been opened.

C'mon guys... @woodturner9 is clearly trolling this thread. Lets not waste time and get back to the hot deal discussion before Sears close for good

Why waste time reading 10K? Do you even own Sears stock? I rather get as many tools as I can using their points

Was chatting with my neighbor earlier. Pry bar set is back at $20.

1)Sears.com hot deals and clearance thread

2)Bitching, trolling and guessing about it.

THANK YOU!!!!!
Now here we go, guess I'll have to buy that set, as it's a good deal,
Don't need it though(I know, "What's need got to do with it).............LMAO
Maybe we should start another thread about sears staying open, or closing.

 

[tjpavlov]

I understand the complaints about the thread hijack. But it would be nice if those who are complaining about it actually posted deals too.

I am only interested in the comment that Sears opened a new store recently. If I were ever in the area, I would want to stop by and check it out.

As for deals, the Craftsman Magnetic Trays are back to $7.99 for the big ones. You really can't have enough:

http://www.sears.com/craftsman-magn...lerId=SEARS&prdNo=46&blockNo=46&blockType=G46

Also, has anyone else noticed that Surprise Points are tending towards being in-store only? Most of my offers this week are that way and I can't remember that being the case previously. Sears closed the store that I used to go to, so maybe they are trying to get me into one of the stores further away.

It really don't bother me about the OT,-Hijack's,
If I'm not into it, I skim past it real quick.
Only takes a few seconds. people get so shook up abt. that, then The Mods get upset, and delete posts. Again, don't bother me any.
They don't have the pry bars at My store, so I'll pass.
Is the metal OK on the new ones? Someone said they were brittle.

 

[woodturner9]

Is the metal OK on the new ones? Someone said they were brittle.

I have bought both types in the last year or so, the regular red-handled ones and the "pro" ones with the button on the end. Both are working fine for me, I have not had any issues with brittleness or breakage. I have applied enough pressure to bow them, but they spring back when pressure is released and did not break.

Sounds good, thanks.
My Local store, Where I have a few things waiting pick-up, did not have them in stock, so I restrained my self.
I have the (was on sale) the 36" with strike cap, and the 24" I think it is with strike cap, to be honest, still in trunk of car.

 

[tjpavlov]

Woodturner9, still waiting to hear where that new store is. I get out into PA often, so I'd love to stop by. Don't leave us all hanging!

Has anyone ordered knipex stuff from Sears after they pulled it and then put it back on the website? My order from 2 weeks ago is still processing.

I've ordered some. It seems like the Knipex comes and goes every couple of weeks. Most orders are received in about a week for me. Max shipping is definitely not Amazon Prime. I think that most of the stuff not offered in stores gets shipped directly from Knipex.

Thanks, yeah this was long nose pliers sold by Sears with no store pickup available. I have ordered Knipex this way before and usually came in less than a week from a NJ supplier. I guess I will give it till next week.

I searched the Sear press releases, and the closest match to a full-line store opening was a Sears Grand store about 11 years ago.


Seems odd that Slick Eddie isn't bragging to his investors about finally opening a new full-line store, because that would help build hope that Sears is recovering.

Regarding Sears openings.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.th...a-new-retail-store-here-is-what-it-sells.html

Sears Hometown and Outlet is a different animal, it is a Franchise, and yes some of those are opening around the US, likely what woodturner is talking about.

 

[paulsomlo]

Thanks Doohickey, got my $2!

I picked up a $5 instant win a few days ago, which, after a string of $0.10 and $0.25 wins, was a nice bonus.

When you posted the 1st doorbuster, I had $0.12 in points, now I'm up to $17.01.

Keep those doorbusters coming!

That means you already entered once.

Smart move not rushing into buying something, but keep in mind that most sweeps points expire in two weeks.

Yeah, that's what I assumed at first, but it's really a new full-line store:

A new Sears store?

Or do you mean one of those small franchise stores like Sears Hometown or Sears Hardware?

Yes, a new full line Sears store.

Contrary to media fluff, Sears is not really declining, they are more refocusing on profitable areas and product lines. Sales are growing in many areas in the Midwest, so they are adding stores to better meet demand in under served areas.

Interesting. I tried it a few days ago, but never entered for anything. One access attempt period I guess?

With little fanfare, Sears opened a full-service auto care facility called DieHard Auto Center Driven by Sears in San Antonio last week. The news of its debut was first reported by Automotive News. Similar to a Pep Boys, Sears' auto service stop provides oil changes, tire replacement and vehicle repairs and assessments. Unlike Sears Auto Centers, the Diehard Auto Center isn't attached to a Sears store or in a parking lot of one.

Bolded for emphasis...

^^^ Who makes these dumb azz decisions? This is like buying a new car just before filing for bankruptcy....... Like we don't have enough automotive stores on each corner.

BTW! The Sears Auto stores in my area are deader than dead and have very little stock of tires or needed parts to perform repairs........ No customers are inside when I drive by.

When I saw that earlier this year, I wondered if they were dressing up the DieHard brand to make it more appealing to potential bidders.

 

[billspit]

Just like ours. Go by Discount Tire (1/2 mile away) and its packed.

I actually have bought tires from Sears a few times, but not recently.

The Sears Auto down in Fayetteville is usually pretty busy the few times I've been to that Sears store (part of the mall). Maybe not quite as busy as a Discount Tire or Firestone, but still it's a complete opposite from the rest of the store.

Either they did a good feasibility study or eddie lampert wants the property for something else in the future...

I can't believe anyone would want to open a Hometown or Hardware store at this day and age. KDC is royally screwing those independents (I guess they have to milk whatever money they can). Don't care to get into details, it's a long story (I talk with the owner of my local Hometown a lot, lol).

 

[tjpavlov]

I think that you are absolutely right. I also believe that they are selling DieHard-branded tires as well. Building a concept store can help show the potential of a brand that is up for sale.


......still waiting to hear the location of that new full line store from Woodturner..... I wonder if they have redesigned things or are just using the same floorplans.

Thanks for the code, I had already used the other one before the doorbuster.
Got my $2.00.
Just back from buying the 46 yards of the Craftsman pro trimmer line(which rocks btw), out the door for free with points/surprise points.

Clever business people, actually. May not make sense to you, but there are certainly good business reasons for it. Eddie has repeatedly demonstrated a shrewd business acumen, he knows what he is doing.

The Sears Auto stores in my area are deader than dead and have very little stock of tires or needed parts to perform repairs.

That's fairly unusual, must just be your area - other stores are doing very well.
