gloat?

| Recently bought 3 Rigid tools on sale as the display items from HD. | All were unused and assembled and came with the users manuals. | 15 inch drill press, 14 inch bandsaw, and a planer-joiner. Total | including tax 525 dollars. Being retired and on fixed income I | thought I did well.

Under current rules, you're only entitled to a neener.

I think you did well, too. :-)

You suck! Even $650 would be a gloat, if you needed the tools.

Very true. Nothing bought from a store is ever a gloat.

JOAT Democratic justice. One man, one rock.

Hmmm... If you'd found the 3 power tools in the dumpster behind HD, now THAT'D be a gloat. Even if it doesn't count as a technical gloat, you definitely got a good deal. If I needed any of those machines, and had seen them for that price, and had the space, I would have snatched them up. Now - are any of these machines upgrades? Can you sell your old one to clear out space and make back some of your purchase price? Or can you keep your old one, and sell one of the new ones for more than you paid for it? If you fetch a good price for one of your used machines, I'd guess that could raise this up a little on the neener scale. I recently picked up a used 16" Griz bandsaw for $300, then sold my old

Man, that is a sweet deal if you needed the stuff... great job.
