Last month we were talking about buying some stainless nails at Lowe’s. I think it was dockelly.
Well, we got our 8d, 2 1/2″ siding nails at $2.65/lb.
These are the same nails that originally went for $18/lb.
Lowe’s put their 6d and 8d nails on clearance, about $3.50/lb for the 8’s and $4.50/lb for 6’s. They sat there.
So, today I made them an offer.
$2 per 1lb box and I’d take them all.
They took my offer.
If you need these nails you can now mention that price and most likely any Lowe’s will match it.

Lowes has no idea what they just gave away. You scored!
See 100528.1
Do you think that the guy who gave you the deal lost his job?
If he worked for me he would have.
As the soccer guy says....
GGGGOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job and score one up for the working man.
lowes last week here had the same deal 2.15 a lb. i picked up 4 lbs just to have.
they all must be getting rid o f them. larry
if a man speaks in the forest,and there's not a woman to hear him,is he still wrong?
Lowes being in the throes of a major realignment of their displays may have something to do with it.
I'm checking tomorrow.
Peaceful,easy feelin'.
Yeah it was me, and you know they still have them by me. I was in there today buying rebar, went down the nail isle and plenty left. 12 bucks for the 5 lb box, normally 50.
thought I'd check out the pellet stove they had online, see it in person, and they were out of those. They did tell me that it was a seasonal item, the stove, and if I could locate one at another Lowes, it would be 50% off.
pretty good deal if you need one.
I'm in an acquiring mood.
Have to get back to my local yards mill shop. They have a couple thousand linear feet of PT KDAT off cuts from a job. It's 16' lengths of perfect 1x2 and to them it's just landfill.
Trucked to the local Lowes and it was notta up here so a dry run.
But just so you know, I mean just for yer own benefit now...
7/16 osb is at $5.44.
be just so's ya knowsSnorK*
Peach full,easy feelin'.
Yep. Same here.
But I'm not buying until it gets to $8.
Saw this thread and made a point to take a look at my local Lowe's to see if they were clearancing these out. They had the 2" 6d nails and the 2 1/2" 8d nails for $1.19/lb. I got 10lbs of each. Not sure what I am going to do with them, but I've got them. Thanks for the heads up.
There are 4 Lowes within 15 miles of of here that I go to. Here is what I've found: Whatever is on the clearance table is "up for bid". If I see something I "need" I ask for the manager and give him my price. Never been turned down yet. I think once something is on the clearance table, it's already been "written off" so they really don't care that much...
