I am getting ready to do some painting in the house. I was in the HD last night and saw the Zinsser 1-2-3 primer, regularly $17/gal for $4/gal. The quarts and 5 gal sizes were not on sale, so it doesn't appear to be discontinued.
One thing to consider is that the big box stores are posting record low months in the past year. They are so slow around here that they are nearly giving away some items just to get people in the door. Last year small independents showed increases in business while big boxes consistantly showed overal drop in business. Of course this varies wildly from one region to another. I for one would love nothing more than to see them get their just desserts and hit the wall, and hard.
Of course its all grasping at straws but I would doubt there is anything wrong with the primer.
