Stuck it right in the vein today...
Stopped by one of the stores that I hadn't been to in a couple weeks and found a box of Paslode framing nails for $0.44. Snatched them up as a gift for cousin helping me with my garage build next week.
From there went to another store that has one of each of the Bostitch Brad Nailer, Framing Nailer, and Crown Stapler that I've been hunting for for some time. While I was there, I just happen to see a DC65 showing in stock so I tried to redeem my DC65/DC41 purchase. While looking a very polite HD employee asked if I needed help. Told her what I was looking for and she was on the case. After looking high in the rafters for 10 min, she went around the corner and voila, it was sitting in plain sight on the floor. I ran into her again a few minutes later, hoping she would have the same luck with the Bostitch gear, and she told me she got scolded by one of the other female employees for helping me find the DC65. She got a kick out of it, and I decided to hurry up and pay for it and get it in my truck before it disappeared while I was hunting.
Come back in, and on my way remembered to swing by the Tool Rental section. Picked up qty.5 boxes of Porter Cable finishing nails for $0.50/ea. Walked over to the nail gun section and it had been straightened up since last time I was there so I figured I was screwed. High in the rafters across from the nails & guns were a Hitachi Nailer ($78), a box of Bostitch Coil Nails ($0.44/ea) and qty.10 boxes of Hitachi coil nails 3,600 ct. ($0.44/ea). Asked the HD guy if he could get them for me. "There's 10 boxes; you want them all?" Ah, yes sir. As I walked away I heard him tell one of the other guys, "He got all my nails!". Apparently, he was planning on taking them home with him...ah well. Hopefully my buddies need some, because I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the 50,000 nails I picked up today for under $10.
