how's this for a table saw deal. i 'm wandering through a HD adn i spy a 3650 in an original box, but battered up a bit. talk to a store manager and he agrees to sell it to me for $100, as it's missing the rail kit (box 2). now, i know ridgid will send me the missing box gratis, so i buy the saw and other stuff to get the total over $299 so i can use a 10% off coupon and get 12 mos. no interest financing. so my net cost for the saw is $90!
i do the transaction as a "will call", to give me time to get one of my trucks to get the stuff home. when i return to the store, the saw is no where to be found. apparently, the label they are supposed to affix to "will call" sale items was either not placed on the item or removed by someone who purchased the saw while i was getting a truck. manager says he will call around and, if one can be found, wherever it is, he will have it shipped to his store for me. he asks me to wait while he searches, as his store system shows -2 in stock.
i go wandering and what do i see, sitting smack in the middle of the tool corral, but a brand new, in the box, factory shrink wrapped, 3660 sitting on a flat bed cart. so i wheel it to the manager, who says he's not having any luck findidng one and it looks like a refund is the best he can do. i show him the 3660 and he is reluctant to use it to fill the transaction. but, as the skus of the two tools were the same, after some discussion, he had to agree.
so out the door i go with a brand new 3660 for a net cost of $90.
