UPDATE. Got to HD right after they opened and used their computer to locate the openers- says there are none in stock. Floor walker says there are none.
When I looked it up on their computer it said there were two in stock at the store about ten miles up the road, so I drove up there. Using their computer it said there were three in stock. I noted where they were located, went there, and couldn't find them. I walked a couple aisles over where the garage door openers are and there were three just sitting on the floor in front of the display.
I hefted two up to the register and the clerk thought the price was mis-marked. I told her they were on sale so she rang them up. I showed my mil ID and she said they didn't stack the discounts. I thought that was odd since I've never had that problem before, so asked if she could check. She called a manager who said she's could do it "this one time only" so out the door I got two for $97.12 each.
I got lucky today. Some of you might too. Not sure when these kits dropped to $150 but there are still some floating around!
Busy day yesterday. Went out after lunch and swapped the old chain drive openers out for the two new belt drive models. Was easier than I was expecting since it wasn't a clean install and the ceiling brackets were already there.Nice! I just replaced mine last year or I’d be out looking for one myself!
My local store put those concrete screws and anchors on sale about six weeks ago. I waited until they were 75% off and loaded up on a bunch of different sizes since they are handy to have on hand.
On another note, my store has stopped selling messed up paint and a decent discount. If a customer refused to buy a paint or they messed up the color when making it they would mark it down to $9 for a gallon, or $30 for a 5 gallon bucket. I used to find all kinds of crazy colors that I could use for painting things I didn't care about. For the past two weeks they have been putting those paints out and writing $5 dollars off, or 10% off on the can. The paints have been stacking up ever since. I was just wondering if that is the new policy or just my local store being crazy.

Also programmed both Jeeps for both doors, installed the inside push-buttons, programmed two of the four remotes (don't need four remotes), and installed/programmed both outdoor keypads.
The new ones are so quiet I *almost* can't hear the garage doors opening or closing if I'm inside. There's still the noise from the wheels squeaking and bouncing over the track transitions, but these are 15-20% of what those old chain drives sounded like. They seem just a little slower too.
I unplugged the first one and tested the battery backup- much slower but those batteries have been sitting in the box for probably two years, so I'll try them again today after they've had a full 24 hours of charging behind them.
EDIT to add: I thought that maybe I could get even quieter if only they made rubber wheels for the door tracks- and what do you know, they do. Ordered two ten-packs to do both doors. Ordered from Lowes since I can get the mil discount for items I order; HD won't do that.
Saw these in HD over the weekend.
That EU3000 for $999 is a great deal in my opinion.

not sure either but I paid 175$ for mine like 8 or 9 months ago.I got lucky today. Some of you might too. Not sure when these kits dropped to $150 but there are still some floating around!
Can I search on-line to see if my local HD has these for that price?

I expect we will see some good clearance deals soon...
Home Depot is really screwing up on this. Ego has the best cordless yard tools available and they just threw it all away and gave to to Lowes.
Just like the ego, lowes got the exclusive on Simpson strong ties and fasteners so home depot is clearencing it out.

I went to the home depot website and sorted outdoor power equipment by brand = Ego. Nothing is on sale.
