    Pattern on pricing for PC4212 DT jig??

    Interested in buying this jig. Amazon has it currently listed @ $169 less $25=$144. I remember past threads here where it could be bought from Amazon for about $80 combining some offers. Is there a pattern on the pricing for this PC4212 Dovetail jig??Should I wait a while? (This is the model that allows through DT's as well as 1/2 blind)...Thanks

    $144 is definately not rock bottom. I'd look for another $25 off at a minimum. Watch it to see if the price changes this month, then add the $25 off and you should have a decent deal. I don't think you will see the 4212 for $80. I wonder if that was during the $80 off promo code error? $80 off $160 = $80. I bet that was what it was and I wouldn't hold my breath anticipating ever encountering another glitch like that!

    Below is my order 06/06:

      That's when I got it and what I got it for. According to BBrets site, it's offer price has never been below $109.

      The PC4210 was offered for $86 at the same time though. Perhaps that's the confusion.

        I ordered this jig from amazon on 10/16 for $109....that being said, it has yet to ship! So if you need the jig right away, you might give them a call first.

            I got that from a search on this site ($80). I think he applied a new credit card allowance which was about $30. So withou it, it would be about $110...

              Sounds like...

              anything $109 or better is pretty good deal...

                I got mine earlier this year for $70 (price then was $149) and it WAS during that $80 goof up on Amazon. I wouldn't plan on that happening again...

                I do see it frequently for quite a bit less than the $169 though so unless you need it immediately I would hold off and see what happens later this month.

                    Wow..

                    I'd place the order NOW if I could get $70. Hopefully, amazon will do some reductions...I think thats a great jig!!

                      Same here:
                      Order Date: October 17, 2006

                      Shipping estimate: November 6, 2006
                      Delivery estimate: November 13, 2006 - November 15, 2006

                      I'd been waiting for it to hit $109 again, so not that big of a deal that it's delayed. Would be nice to play with it eventually though.
                      If it\'s broke, you can\'t break it more. Gimme that screwdriver.

                        thanks stormbringer...but can't find the extra 10% off PT accessories. They do show the $25 off over $150. So how/where is that extra 10%. Thanks...

                          The 10% is automatically applied, but you need to enter "NOVTOOLS" into the coupon section for the $25 off.

                            Poor timing

                            Went to place order w Amazon but they tacked on $20 shipping. No"eligible for Super saver free shipping". So even w those two discounts +$20 shipping its now higher priced than what I can get locally...

                              I've noticed this on several items. I guess with all the free Prime trials they're giving they figure they better charge shipping which makes the items ineligible for Prime.
