Default Appliance pricing rant

So, this is the 2nd time I have run across this in the last 6 months. I have been shopping for a fridge. 2-3 weeks ago I came up with the make and model I wanted - Whirlpool WRT541SZDB. The price at Sears, Lowes, Home Depot & Best Buy was $854. Bad enough that they were all the same price to the $. Then… I was at HD a week ago buying carpet, and the lady there told us that all appliances were going on sale 11/5 for the pre Black Friday Sale. I decide to wait. STU-PID! Now the identical Fridge at all the referenced stores is $950 with the only exception being Lowe's which has it for $901. All these places tout sales now going on. WTH? I am almost willing to listen to the old crappy one in the new place just b/c I don't want to give the jackasses my $. I think when I go in to HD, I am going to confront them & see if they will sell me the thing for the previous price. There used to be consumer price fixing cases, but I guess since we have nearly eliminated consumer oriented lawsuits with 'loser pays' we get what we deserve.
