just picked up a blower in danvers (east) MA for 38.03$.
thanx if one of you bought yourself one, and left the last one for me.
if you are looking, this is what i found:
the blowers and weed wacker are not near the tool area anymore, they are in the garden tool section. the weed wacker was on display, and was lightly discounted, but they were all gone.
the blower was in the stock section with the other blowers, but there was not a display model, nor a place for one. the shelf tag listed the price as 120 something.06. i was just going to leave it and wait, but on a whim i took the only one off the (high) shelf, and dragged it around until i found a price checker. it came up as 38.03$.
so, dont look for them in the "tool aisle". even though that is where the locals had them when they were new, and being bundled with the 9AH batteries.
and dont necessarily believe the tag . . . ..
so, i didnt get 8 or 12 or even 22 of them. but i dont think i would have bought more than two anyway, both for me. didnt check the "danvers west" store, one more wasn't worth the trip, and i dont have the patience to flip stuff.
