I've heard that it's different elseware in the country, but out here Lowes and HD prices stink on appliances. The place to go is an appliance-only store. (Howard's, Pacific Sales, etc.)

As for the pricing games; that's how it works. Even REI gets in on it: They take a no-name, $250 mountain bike and put a "$650; marked down to $400" sign on it - everyone jumps at the chance to "save" $400.

Thumbs up

I bought a gigantic refrigerator with all the bell and whistles (water and ice in the door, etc. etc. etc.) at Salvation Army years ago. It was marked $300 but they have a half-price Tuesday sale every week so I got it for $150. No sales tax, either.

Had to haul it home in my BIL's truck. It's still working. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to shell out 9 bills.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
