Makita 6401 deal

[KenJax Tree]

I went to Home Depot today just to see if they had any good used Makita 6401's for a good price so i look around but dont see any so i ask the guy at the counter he says nope none for sale however you can buy everything we rent out brand new so i say ok well how much for the Makita 6401 so he looks in their catalog of equpiment and says well its a little expensive but its $472 so i said i want the price of the 6401 so he shows me the catalog and it was the price of it so i about ---- myself and said ok i will take 2 so next week i will be a happy camper with a screaming machine and one is getting the big bore kit.

I think if he sends me one of those, I can fogive him

Yep, and he's going to find out that he won't get the saw for that price, nor will it be a 6401.

Thats right! I give $480 for my 6400 four years ago. The saw he gets wil be a 6421 anyway.

I remember being quoted a crazy low price like that from HD also BUT I didn't get it.

I did the same with HD. A week after I ordered it, HD called and said they were using an outdated catalog and the price was $850. I actually looked at the catalog I ordered it from and the prices were supposed to be good until 07/01/2011. This was in May, 2011. I ended up with 2 used Makita 6401's for $300 from the same store. Keeping my cool did pay off in the long run.

I experienced the same last year this time.

I left HD and went to the Dolmar Dealer and bought a Dolmar for $590 but they have gone up in price since then. I have also added a few goodies to mine.

I wen t through the same thing as w8ye last may(ish) The first Home Depot called 3 days later saying that they could no longer get that model and that the price had gone up. They did offer me a VERY used rental saw for $150...I got them down to $125. I went to another location and they honored the price on the 6421.. As has been said, the price was only valid until May 2011.

I highly doubt you'll be getting that saw.

I could care less about your punctuation or spelling . I was able to understand you just fine . But I am afraid the others are right about the price . I went through the exact same thing after I read a post another member made about a great price he was getting at HD. The new saw price ended being higher than the Dolmar Dealer . So I am still waiting for a rental to come up for sale . But I hope they will honor what they quoted you and you get the saws . Keep us updated

Thats the way it is here too. I checked with HD about the Makita version of the 420 and to order it in was over $200 more than dealers sell for. Nuts to that.

Let the above be a lesson to all .... you don't need punctuation, spelling or grammar if you have a great butt. :msp_tongue:

No, that's not my butt in my avatar. Even if it was I wouldn't admit it because one needs to be careful around some of the fellows from TN & KY, they seem to have a peculiar interest :msp_love: in other guy's underwear and butts :msp_laugh:.

[morgaj1]

Still sounds like you are getting a deal.

Good deal.

 

[w8ye]

You are lucky, HD only wanted to sell me a new Makita for $100 more than what I could buy a new Dolmar for.

For Canadians, this is a good deal. (attachment)
the 6421 powerhead only is 600 (new)
the 7301 PH is 630 (new)
but the sale ends today
