glad it worked

Congratulations to those who were able to get it at the deal price. Hope others are able to. Sorry to those who ran into the Manager's wall. I was lucky.

Love this site.

Thanks to the OP. I printed out the web page, order in cart list w. the local store address and the "avail. in stores only", and the link page. Took HD about 15 minutes and I decided that I would be patient and not complain since it was actually a problem w. the sku and item not matching. They finally said OK! Store price is $87 . I have an older model made in USA, and it is a good sander but it is a lot easier having 2 so I do not have to switch grits.

PS It does say local store price may be different in the fine print. I pointed out that the store address is at the top of the page and it was the same model#. They were nice for a change. I usu. shop Lowes. That HD has lost a lot of business to them. Store has no in dept. people after 6pm M-F , only 1 register open and those stupid self checkout things that always have problems. The store was nearly empty.

i scored one of these at lowes today. i printed out the web page and went to the customer service counter and told the nice lady that i'd like to take advantage of your lowest price guarantee. the lady looked at the page, double checked the item # and said "no problem".

thanks for the heads up cheeky.

Our Lowes , if below store cost ,will not price match. I would have gone that way but I felt they would not go that low.

Wooo Hoooo

Glad to see so many people are taking advantage of this. The law says if it's advertised at a price, it has to be sold for that price, i.e. no bait and switch is allowed.

I got one today in South Dakota. It took awhile, as the manager tried to find it online (I had the print out with me, but they apparently didn't believe their own website). I was getting a little worried when they couldn't find it, but I told them how I found it (entering the local store name and searching on sanders) and it worked. I actually think they weren't expecting to find it because there were 4 employees watching and they all kind of looked surprised. My wife also said she saw a few people "winking" at each other - which also makes me think they were expecting this to fail.

Oh well. I needed a ROS, and got one at a great price.

Thanks!!!

scored mine Sunday afternoon The first person at the service desk was a real mama dog, said it didn't match, then the guy from hardware came over tried to tell her the difference between a model # and a sku... then the manager came, no problem, she just asked to keep the printout so she could show her boss. Thanks for the heads up.

Got one at the local Lowes, after getting no help at HD, went to Lowes to get some thing I needed from them, asked in the Tool dept. would they price match this? (the online page printed out), tool guy said yes he thinks, come with him to main desk, they look, check, Call some body, sell it to me.

This is why I would rather go to a Lowes, even if it is a longer drive.

I got mine the same way Edge85 got his. The manager was surprised and basically speechless. I didn't think she would give it to me. If she would have said "no", i would have said "okay, thanks" and politely leave. But she was cool and gave it to me anyways. And i believe the cashier was new and did the math wrong on the discount. They gave it to me for $33 and some change.

But they did keep the print out and said that they had to call the corporate office

Thanks everybody.

we don't have a Lowes but we have a HD so I am gonna take a whack at this tomorrow or the day after...we'll see how it goes. Got my printouts all in order.

Thanks for the clue how to find them!!!

Got one last night at one of my local HD's. Helping the customer service person find it online was key. Waiting patiently on a Monday night (not busy at all) I think also helped. The CS person said it was a mistake online (should have been a jigsaw). I definately feel I was taking advantage of their mistake but... I bought a bunch of sandpaper with the money I saved on the sander. I wouldn't have know about this if it weren't for this site. Thanks!

I picked up the last one at Sandhill's HD, sunday.
I clicked "Compare" and printed that page.
No questions asked.
It's still there today.

Got one at my local store. No questions asked.

Thanks for the heads up!!!

Got mine today. The manager was all ready to let me have two when another person at the Pro Desk said something was not right and caused him to do a double take. Said there was some strange error so he sould only sell me one at the $40 price....most cool. Would have been nice to have a 2nd and not need to change paper to change grits...but one will certainly do!
