Hence why I don't post anything good on GJ anymore, other than the Amazon thread
Got 4 of them yesterday at a store where I called to check the price and he said $189. Picked up at $135 with the free battery. Cheer!!!

Found a store that claimed to have 3 of these in stock. I looked and low (or so I thought), and couldn't find even 1. Asked an employee for help, and was told nobody was working in hardware tonight, but she'd get somebody. That somebody made a superficial effort but ultimately found nothing. Then I realized nobody was working in hardware, and that I could easily rummage without interference. Found two of them, carefully hidden on a "sales floor" shelf behind 4 corded Sawzalls, in boxes that are nearly identical in size. The only tip off was the black/red case of the Fuel kits behind the red-only Sawzall cases.
Persistence: 2
Sneaky employee: 0
I'm still new to this game. Decided to hit the local HD on the way home from work in search of the Milwaukee M12 Fuel deal.
Looked in the tool section and found nothing. The store had the Milwaukee promotional display, but nothing there either. Looked up the SKU on the computer and found the $135 price, but said 0 in stock.
Asked the very friendly young guy how accurate the inventory numbers were in the computer. He said, and I quote, "Due to the 21st century computeristics, the numbers are very accurate."
Was about to give up and walk out when I noticed a small display of random tools and brands near the exit. Sure enough the M12 kit was sitting right there with a $135 tag on it. Picked it up, went and found a battery back in the tool section and brought it home.
Now if I could just find that Ridgid vacuum they supposedly have 1 of.

Looking good! I need to install ours. It's replacing a larger louder Nutone so gonna have to patch some ceiling I'm sure. I wired up a plug to test it and dang it's quiet.
Found two more today too. Still got a qtn110e to get rid of also.

The almighty price adjustment is killing deals now
. Why wait til last clearance price when you can pounce while stock is high and adjust later..***** but just makes you change up your game as they say..
And yup,SPN1025 hit it dead on the head!!!!!!!!!!
Still seeing a few of them in my area but are still full price.
Worse nightmare?
lol! I saw this today. Looks like HD is bootlegging Windows Licenses.

You have to be careful with the return rebuys, once they're on to you... thats not a happy place to be.
This. Times a million. Don't think we were all watching it already? Pretty sure the people here are competent enough to know that's on clearance. Now all the slick dealers and lurkers have the jump on it as well. So yes, drj715, when it drops to .02 and I can't find a single on within a six hour drive of me I will PM you a nasty message.
That's what I'm thinking. Penny train coming to an end and now we can look forward to them shutting the return/rebuy & price adjustment game down next.
Saw a LP one that was on clearance for awhile......250.00 I think normally 700-900
Shouldn't be hard to find, had a BIG yellow tag below it...

I picked up a 33 gal on monday for $239. They had one on the floor tagged friday when I went in. By monday it was gone.... had a helpful employee check the computer which still showed one in stock. He walked the store with me and found it still in the box, up in the rafters and got it down

Not necessarily. Volume License would have them running a licensing server on their intranet, so the PC has to verify under an admin account (instead of the limit user that it's currently under), and firewall issues. If you look at all those PCs, they have Win 7 Pro COA, but the PCs are imaged using a volume licensed image.

Yeah it just shows how immature the IT systems at HD are. Let's not forget the large quantities of credit card data that was exfiltrated over time. They simply need a KMS or a MAK key for those volume licenses.

Figures, I found a penny USB charger, and no robot cashiers are open.
What are all the unemployed robots going to do?

Meh, not really. Any volume licensed PC can experience this. Windows in general stinks, memory leaks revolving around Win Genuine Advantage, or Windows Update, or Windows can cause this. Changes in the ISP or network routes. Routing and VPN hardware and software issues. A PC false positive WGA notice is just a typical blip of IT reality.
Thanks. Mine is natural gas. I'll head to HD today and report back.

Anyone else watching the EGO 20" lawn mowers. Last I saw was 374.00 or 354.00.
I haven't been doing this long enough to know how far items like mowers will drop. Since I scored a 12" trimmer yesterday I'm definitely looking to pick one of these mowers up but can't justify it really over $200-250 having a perfectly good Toro at home

They are down two 259 in some stores.
Gonna help you before u get flame throwed as they say..You need to check PCA, or take it to register and do a PC there. Only way you will know what they cost! Or if you're lucky and they're tagged the price you want to pay in the store. In which case they won't be there anyway!! Either way, you're going to have to go to store and see if you want it!!!!!HD.com means absolutely nothing to us!!!!!!
That's what I thought. I couldn't find an PCA in my store yet and will look harder today. Only deals I've scored on so far were a Rubbermaid Fasttrack $10 hood for $3 and a Touchless deadbolt for $33.03.

Watch for those at the pro door. Some have had a problem and fixed to be marked down.
Happened to me this morning. Probably the biggest let down after finding something.
