If they really want to get in good with GJ members make the sale something special, not same old.

So.. What's so special about this? There's no discounter prices beyond normal "sale" prices..

At least they've taken notice of GJ.

Maybe a 1st step towards future deals.

I'm sure they'll be tracking click-thrus and see what kind of response it gets.

Anybody else see what Jim is refering to?

Jim, you care to clarify?

Every coupon I see still had the standard restrictions (no tool storage etc).

If I can get one with no restrictions, please let me know!

You can't... he is just saying that is what he wants them to do.

There is no sale at Harbor Freight. They just play around with the prices and make it seem like you are getting a deal. They change colors on the price tags but the price stays the same. I love the 25% off coupon and 20% off entire purchase coupon. But for the money and tools cant beat the place.

The compressor goes for $149.99 in other ads. Neat that they recognize GJ even if it's just coupons as usual.

I was at hf the other day and the guy in front of me at the register bought a bunch of powder coating stuff-spent a couple hundred dollars-not a single coupon-blew my mind!!!

That's just crazy.. I won't buy a box of gloves there without one.. Usually I just go to http://www.hfqpdb.com right before I checkout and show them the 20% coupon right on my phone..

I haven't even bothered printing a coupon for quite some time..

I always keep coupons in the notes section on my phone and offer them to anyone in line with me. I didn't know about that site though Beemer533, thanks for posting a link, it's now bookmarked!

As was said before, they are probably looking for click through. If they see a significant opportunity from this forum, they may offer a special sale, or even sponsor the site. You can't expect a huge special deal simply because the forum is "tool oriented".

What's special about those coupons? They are what's known as "Affiliate coupons", and Ryan / GJ will get a very small percentage of every purchase made with them. I'm sure Ryan had to go out of his way to set this up with HF.

Use these coupons and help out this site that you love so much!

If that is the case, I’d be happy to help out and use them. But I’d have thought Ryan would mention that.

Hey thanks for posting. I'm heading to HF after work for a heat gun. Now I'm going to try and get the 20% off that and some no purchase necessary free items!
