A word of thanks

[Gerritt]

Well I was tipped off that Sears was having a sale on lawnmowers, so I stopped in... Not realizing the sale starts tommorrow (DOH!) so I spend some time and look around and finally decide on a model I like it is a Craftsman with a 5.5HP Honda engine (thanks for all the advice guys) so I go to the teller and ask her what the sale price is.. she states the sale does not start till March 30th but they have Clearance units on sale right now... I ask her if she is able to give me the sale price so I dont have to come back tomorrow morning, she explained she couldn't... I was a little miffed so I asked to check in the computer what the sale price is for tomorrow, she says Oh.. it is on sale now and you get a free MP3 player! I asked her what tomorrows price will be she said it was the same but no MP3 player??? so I figured I might as well purchase it now and if the price does go down in 30 days I get price protected.... I got the unit i felt comfortable buying (thanks to all your great advice) saved some money and got an MP3 player I will probably regift to my Nephew for his birthday (I have a 40GB iPod) all in all I stayed well below my 500.00 budget, Picked up the unit for 369.00 + taxes and got a free 59.00 MP3 player...

 

 

 

 

 

I think I faired ok.. I will keep an eye out on a price drop though (and Yes I am Dutch LOL)

 

Thanks again guys you opinons helped me make a purchasing decision.

Well I hope you can push that thing fast enough to get some fishin done soon. Glad you got what you needed at below the price you wanted to pay.

And if it needs breaking in I can give you a list of lawns that will need mowing soon!

 

Since we all know you are going to be wanting to use your new TOY a lot!

Nice unit.

 

And if you were Scottish you would mow the lawn a couple of times, return it for a refund and then send your wife in the next day to make an offer on the used mower you know they have sitting in the back.

Hey Gerritt, Good for you, looks like a nice machine.

 

Last year I needed to replace my Craftsman riding lawnmower ~ it had seen a LOT of grass cutting in it's years of service.

 

At the risk of sounding like I'm Spamming, Sears stands behind their stuff.

That is Ed Zachary the mower that I have. It sure works, let me tell you. And the RLG takes considerable pride in the great job she does on the back lawn.
