Never hurts to ask

As you may recall, I'm getting a 3520B for my wife's Christmas present. Woodcraft is participating in Powermatic's 15% off sale, so the price was down to $2900.

With Bing cash-back and avoiding sales tax, I would be able to get the same lathe for about $200 less off the internet. So, with nothing to lose, I talked with my local Woodcraft's manager and asked what she could do. I was hoping she might throw in $100 worth of stuff and I'd have been happy.

However, after some back and forth, I ended up with the bed extension, a Stronghold chuck, and several other accessories I was planning to buy anyway at severe discounts, saving me about $500!

Now, since I saved $500, that means I can spend $500 on stuff for me, right?

Clearly, you have learned well from your wife about that "I saved $XXXX on that sale" mantra - thank God that thought process still exists! I thought the economy had killed it, but it lives!! Hmmmm, maybe that is the saviour of the economy?????

Congrats on the haul!!

You're a lucky man, Cliff Holmes!!!:eek:

You sure don't mess around when it comes to Christmas Cliff! Are you planning on surprising your wife or does she already know about the lathe?

[Bernie Weishapl]

Wait, you are getting the lathe for your wife's present; what is she getting you?:eek:

[David Cramer]

It's your money to spend Cliff, not mine, but......I hope you seriously think about spending some of that money that Woodcraft saved you "at Woodcraft:)". Not my business, but I'm just sayin':).

Cliff,
The way I cypher it out is:
Your wife, you and the manager= 3.
3 x $500.00= $1500.00
WOW!, what a deal.
Good luck and you are on your own.
