Re: Lowe's M*glite sale headsup
The Lowe's sale is only valid through 12/24 (today). I had a bad experience with the same sale on Black Friday when they refused to sell me a red 3D at the sale price, saying it was in the wrong place. Apparently only the black and silver were discounted.
However...
Based on a tip from Fatwallet... I picked up a 2D Mag-LED for $9.97. At the checkout, I asked the cashier if the LED ones were on sale too. He said "oh yeah", and adjusted the price with manager approval. It sounded like he had done this a few times already, and I got the second to last one on the display.
All the Mags were pretty cleaned out on the endcap, except the 3AA LEDs, but they had a shopping cart with six freshly opened cases of 2Ds sitting in another part of the store. I picked up a normal 2D for modding as well, black. I wanted a red one again, but they were nowhere to be found -- just black, silver, and blue.
As always, YMMV with this Mag-LED thing. I may try getting Home Depot to price match Lowe's 9.97 price, though...
