New fence

May 24, 2007 6 Replies

I went into my local Lowes to get some gardening supplies. Low and behold I see they have the Delta 30" UniFence Marked down from $300 to $93 and with a Military Discount I walked out with it at $83 and change. Does that count as a gloat?

It does for me, but some in this group will disparage it. :-)

Hello Roger, That is a real gloat, but it begs these questions; Why would they mark it down so low? Are they closing out Delta products? Did they have more in stock? (No, I don't need another fence, but this sounds like a great deal for others) Marc

Very common practice for the big box stores.

Allows them to very tightly define when they were selling an item and thus control warranty costs.

Kind of like some contractors I remember who would declare bankruptcy on a regular basis only to open up the next day under a different name.

I'd say so. I recently sold a 7 year old one for $175.00.
