My local Home Depot stores are clearanceing out the Porter Cable 557 plate joiner for $120.
I saw a few stores in the Charlotte NC area with the clearance price recently. I had some extra time and decided to negotiate with the manager at a store that only had a display left, he went down to $80. They had the case with the accessories on a shelf above the display (I dont think the manager knew this). The joiner itself looks like no one even handled it in the store, all the parts are there and the screws were tight.
Good luck.
PS. Please don't post this on slickdeals/fatwallet yet. Give the woodworkers a chance to pick them up. I'll put it out there eventually.
