as i understand it – home depot guarantees that they will not be beat on prices – that they will go 10% lower than anyone’s advertised price – lowe’s states that they will do the same but not on catalogs – home depot does not specify this – i took a tool crib catalog in to show folks at home depot the sale price on a porter cable cordless drill/saw combo – HD price $359 – TC price $299 plus $20 off through aug. something – oh yeah – free shipping – first the manager said that they don’t honor TC because TC sells reconditioned products – i told her that wasn’t right & to call TC herself & ask – they do put out a reconditioned catalog but this was a new catalog – she called – i was right – smug 🙂 – then she said that she would be back – came back about 15 minutes later – said that she can’t go below cost – cost was $328 – sorry – i left – we went down to atlanta later & bought it on sale at another place – still not the TC price but MUCH better than HD’s “cost” price – they are so full of it – hubby wants me to ask a lawyer about HD’s “guaranteed” low price policy
