Have a picture or know what guage it is, how many feet?

I've noticed something recently in stores near me that i think is new- Items with plenty of stock (one example i saw 5) with a clearance sticker was completely gone from the website. I've seen this 4 or 5 times in the last week. I used to be able to search other stores online on my phone right in the isle to see if its cheaper somewhere else, but now can't. I know once an item has zero stock in a store, the item was still on the website at full price... now it's removed (an error page comes up), but still sitting there on the shelf with a yellow tag. Had an employee scan that 5 stock item, and it was in their system at the yellow tag price. Of course, he said "oh, they remove discontinued items from the website as soon as it goes on clearance" like it has always been this way. Anybody else see this? Or is there a district manager doing something rogue here? I guess if it keeps the hoards of cockroach employees who hide and take the clearance items from customer orders it may be a good thing, dunno. I've identified a little "crew" at two neighboring stores that actively snaps up almost everything, and are pretty obvious about it. Lowes obviously doesn't care, though why they'd allow employees to cancel orders so they can take items is amazing to me. If i can see it, their mgmt must be pretty clueless, or in on it too.

14/3 with ground 250 feet.The sticker lady had just changed it this am. It had been at $30 for a couple of weeks.

I just bought a roll of 12/3 at depot, no deals on the 12/3 at lowes though. Some crazy deals on the other stuff...

Let me ask a stupid question if I may, I know some of you guys are ordering it and doing parcel shipping, how often does that work vs. getting a call saying it's gone or too far to ship?

To far to ship is a bogus claim. If you order it from a state that has it marked down and they offer shipping, they will actually ship it from the closest lowes with on hand availability. Look at the label when the packages arrive on your door.

i'm still finding some of the cheap Blue Hawk hammers for under $1 around here. Nothing spectacular, but good for stocking stuffers

A store around here has some 10awg wire by the foot for .03.

I have no use for it though.

Also, is it just me or does Lowes not clear out faucets nearly as much as HD.

It seems like HD always has 15-20 faucet brands, types, models etc. on clearance at one time but Lowes hardly ever has anything.

ya I noticed that also. The only cheap ones I ever see in the stores are open box/missing pieces, and some "special order returns", which are usually specific parts for specific models

I still don't see how lowes employees are so much better at pulling old stock that HD people.

For kicks I searched three lowes stores for items up top not on display. All I found were Bosch planers at one store and when I checked the price they were more expensive than the ones on the shelve.

Updating tags too.

You almost never find something mispriced at Lowes. Especially clearance stuff.

The ones I have found in the past were on the website and not advertised in the store.

I found 3 Moen 87359E2SRS (SKU 534894) last week for 39.90. Hiding in the top stock behind some other models, I first saw them on Lowes.com then drove to the store as this particular store ALWAYS cancels my online orders for anything clearance.

If you go to Lowes.com, sort high to low from the faucets that the store actually has "in stock", it may not say its on sale but you might find one price far lower than the others. That means it is clearance.

Every time I go to a Lowes I pass right over any clearance faucets. They are always beat to hell or missing pieces. And to add insult to injury, they never seem to be priced that much cheaper than if I bought it brand new. :dunno:
