Possible deal on CMT Dado set

[woodturner]

Are the web prices accurate? If so, the price for my local stores was actually increased. I was hoping I could get a price match for the blade from the $35 I paid to $8, but now they're all showing $44.

It may be that when stock is depleted, it reverts to the last "regular" price. I noticed that on the Rockwell hammer drills - $30 until the last one sold, then price was listed as $179 and no stock.

Like I said before Lowes pricing is an art in itself. I just returned the one I had purchased for $44 and rebought it as well as 2 more at the $12.60 price shown in W.Marietta. They will jack the price up when there is no stock in that store,so best to move on to another store. I got in on the JT-360 deal as well as many others and have sold a lot to other woodworkers at reasonable prices as well as making a few bucks for my efforts. What baffles me is what are they really buying this stuff at and what is the mark-up,apparently its in the 300-400% range from what I can figure considering what they sell it for when it gets marked down, I'm sure they just right it off as a loss.I know that when I introduced everyone to Slickdeals.net and Fatwallet.com there would be those who would see the other pricing hiccups out there as well. Make me wonder where the countrys goin with all the ridiculous mark-ups

One of my Lowes stores had the Skil dado set for $3.60, as well as carbide construction saw blades for $0.50.

It's a good idea to figure out which stores in your area have good clearance pricing, since the stores set the pricing. There are two stores around here that usually have good clearance, the closer ones usually don't.

Right now, it's $36.44 at my local Lowes.

I checked 4 local stores and it was a different price in each one. Lowes must give local managers a lot of discretion in setting prices on clearance items. Picked one up in the Richardson store for $36.44 and they still had several left in stock.

anyone in houston looking for one they have it the Lowes at FM529 (Spencer Rd) and Hwy 6 for $32 something. Other stores in Houston have it for $42 and most for $53.

Just got back from Lowes and came to post this deal here but I see that it's already been discovered!

I saw $43 at a Houston location as well.

There was also a Kobalt 14" blade marked down from $99 to $34.

For those with kids or for those woodworking instructors needing projects for their classroom, they've had these wood golf kits on clearance for awhile. It's a series of woodworking kits for children called Red Toolbox. They all seem to be marked down but a couple of the golfing items were marked down from $20 to about 3 or $4. Not sure how they were worth $20 to begin with but still.

I just paid $11.88 at the North Dallas store at Inwood Rd. 4 others still available.
