Dragged me to KMart yesterday to help her shop for a friend of ours' bridal shower. The shower has a "Shit For The Yard" theme. I bought her a hoe...[argue]
While there, I spied 2 20 gallon 5HP air compressors. Brand new Coleman Powermates. They both had 50' hoses around the handles. CLEARANCE ITEM!!! Originally $269.99. Marked down to $134.99. I've been putting off buying one, cause I need more gun stuff, but half price was too much to pass up. [url=http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=24&t=137003]THANKS X--Kill!!![/url]
I wheel the compressor (and the hoes) to the checkout. No UPC code...dammit. New computerized registers won't let you manually key in a price. Only UPC was on the hose. It rang up $6.99. I told the pimply faced kid that "The guy in that Department said the hose was free when I buy the compressor". Pretty slick, eh?
Well, shit, after he calls twice for a UPC, the manager comes over and she can manually key a price in...how convenient. She says something about "What a pain it's gonna be when they sell the other one". I tell her I can help her out. "I'll give ya $200 for the both of them".
"Sold" she says.
Damn! What a deal! Sold one to my next door neighbor upon returning home. He was more than happy to give me $150 for it.
I knew I shoulda drove the truck... You oughta seen me & the old lady stuffing those things in her Mustang...
