Yesterday I decided to prioritize my Amazon Wish List, so I had a better chance of getting something I really wanted, instead of a tie (ties are for funerals). I moved to the top of my list, a Dremel Moto Saw, which is kind of like a hand held or clamp down scroll saw. I'm thinking this would be good to cut the hobby ply and stuff.
I noticed that one of Amazon's Marketplace partners had dropped their price from $90 to $70. So I decided to check the local hardware stores. Home Depot - nope still $99. Lowes - "Add to shopping cart to see price". So I tried to add it to my shopping cart... "Please select Sore Pickup or Truck Delivery"... Store Pickup... 1 available at the Bozeman, MT store. I live in Billings, MT about 144 miles from Bozeman. Aww heck, go ahead and add it. When I checked the shopping cart, it said $55.20 store price, but it was 50% off until November 20, so it was $27.60. $27.60!
So either this was a mistake, or I was going to drive to Bozeman this weekend. I ordered it.
Still not believing my good fortune, I guessed that it had to be an open box return, or incomplete or something. So this morning, I called the Bozeman Lowes. The rep said that it was right in front of her and it was brand new in the box and waiting for me.
So guess what...?
