Long post, sort of a rant but hope some of you guys can get a deal on one of these like I did. Northern Tool item #14496 has been discontinued but a picture is still on their website. Your local store may still have some at the price of $58.31. I was in the Greensboro, NC store on Thursday and saw a sale price on the shelf of appx. $88.00 and a temporily out of stock sticker. Asked the first employee I could find (only 3 in the store as I could see) and he confirmed the fact that the item is discontinued and the last selling price was $58.31 (regular price something like $179.00) Said I might get one by calling the 800 number. Tried to get his assistance with that but he had a buddy standing there who he was busy talking with and just made up some BS. The manager was at the checkout when I was leaving so I decided to inquire again. She listened to about half of what I told her, took off to the computer to confirm the item is discontinued. Again I asked about calling the 800 number from the store. She must have figured I wasn't going to leave without a good answer so she pulled up a screen on the puter which showed stock at other locations. (The first guy tried to do that but came up with nothing.) She found several stores with one or two but the Cary, NC store had nine. She called the Cary store and had two put on hold,one for me and one for my best friend whom I knew would want one also. My friend picked them up Saturday at $58.31 each and the store still had six left. He said there was no sign of any kind on them to let customers know they are on clearance and at a great price. Obviously that's why they are not selling. So... check your local store, you may get lucky. And be persistant.
