the Harbor Freight "Fire Sale"

[AsteroidSeven]

for some reason I couldn't not think about this group when I went through the catalogue of this month's Harbor Freight tool selection, which it deems to be a "Fire Sale." I

In the previous catalogue the price for a 3"x21" belt sander was $29.99. In this month's catalogue with the "FIRE SALE" and "RED HOT" deals, the very same belt sander is $32.99. The price went up, as you can see.

The 12" x 33-3/8 wood lathe in the previous catalogue was $299.99, and in this fire sale the price is $319.99.

The wood planer they sell was $289.99, and is now $299.99

I guess what Harbor Freight means that in this fire sale is you're gonna get burnt!

this is a common trick

have seen this used at store closing sales

but it works and people just cannot resist getting what they think is a deal

buyer beware

But Sunday there is 25% off on one item. Had these items been left on a special sale price they sometimes do not qualify for the bigger special coupon which makes them all less expensive then they were before.
