This is not a BIG HUGE GIANT GLOAT

[Crash2510]

I regularly go to the local lowes to check out the tools that they have for sale. Yesterday I went and checked out some of their returns. Sitting on the ground was a returned dewalt 735 planer that looks like it may have been used once. I read the sticker it said it was broken and for parts only $25. well I looked all over and couldn't find anything visibly wrong with it. I figured if I couldnt fix it I would sell the parts on ebay. Well I got it home and found that the only thing wrong with it was that it had a broken roller drive sprocket. I ordered the part for $3.45 plus shipping.

Now the cost of the $549 planer was $25 plus the part for a total cost under $30 dollars and it works like new.

Congrats, Crash, that's a heck of a score. I just hope Jeffrey doesn't stress out trying to top it.

I am surprised they didn't just send it back to the mfr.

Immediately, I can tell you that is illegal.

You have made out like a bandit, and Lowes authorities could be looking for you now. You might want to get rid of the incriminatory evidence. PM me and I shall supply you my address, I am willing to be the fall guy.

And once I am done with that deal, I vote we do not allow such posts here. Gives me a heartburn like none else.

you suck, man.

Unreal! Congrats Phil, but you still SUCK! That's got to be the best score I've heard of.
Enjoy it, you done good.

First things first:

YOU SUCK


I would strongly suggest that you don't ship it to radhak, to ship something like that would be terrible. I'm only a couple of hours away, I'll just drive up and take it off your hands!

At least 100 vulgarities entered my mind when I read this. YOU SUCK!

I was looking at and reading reviews about this model last night. I was in my local Lowes to pick up a 32 tooth dewalt saw blade to finish my trex double decker project (you can only use 32 tooth and they only sell them in the combo pack for $60 bucks ) this morning and was looking high and low for a bargain.

For some reason I think all the Lowes in WA state suck for return / closeout bargains as I NEVER find anything even close to what other people on the forum have posted. I guess an ok delta miter stand for $99 but I wouldn't consider that a find like you scored on. Thats one of the best deals I've seen on BT3 since I joined ... great job and I'm really jealous in WA !!!

[Pappy]

Got to be the deal of a lifetime!

[ragswl4]

I'll give you $60 for it if you'll pay the shipping. Seriously, congrats that's a heck of a find.

You must have a golden horse shoe stuff up somewhere ... sheesh, that has to be beyond a doubt the best score in my opinion I've heard yet ... our local big box stores seem to be much smarter than that as they knock $50 of the regular price when it's broke ...

[JSCOOK]

By the way ... if this is NOT a Big Huge Giant Gloat, I'd like to see what kind of actual deal you classify as BIG HUGE GIANT GLOAT!!!.

[MilDoc]

OK.

You Made That Up, Right?

[drumpriest]

Awesome, it's a good planer, congrats...

I don't know you but I already don't like you. No really good for you. That is some kind of deal. MAN!
