Well I went there yesterday and they couldn't sell it yet so I went back today
and picked up the saw, and the other stuff in the pic for $125:) $132.87 OTD!
Very happy with this purchase, think I might leave it stock and put the piston in
it from my other one since the new one has a very minor scratch in the piston,
then again I may leave it alone.

Im guessing you went in there and asked if they were selling it?
 
I hate you.
:) haha. kidding. good score. wish I could find something like that up here. Im not even sure if the home depots up here rent out the makitas.
I was surprised at the price, the other one i bought I paid $205 for.
Deffinatly got lucky.

Yes, I check every time I got to HD. I am there at least twice a month just for buying odds and ends for work.
It wasn't for sale yet, had to wait for the manager to sign off on it.

Probably don't need to check near as often now.:)

Sweet saw and deal!

I had seen on here that you could pick them up "cheap" at HD, I had no idea it was that good of a price. I checked the web right away, and my local HD doesn't carry a rental line.:cry:

Congrats!

You'd better check this weekend, they said both the stores by me were having their "tool sale weekend"
If not, next one I find I'll call you on the double.

Thanks for the heads up!!

LOL!!!
But I bet when I get there, 5 other AS lurkers will have barbed wire and sandbags already emplaced around the doors.:D

If ya walk in on another one I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!!

Stay safe!

You got the deal of a life time and I would hate you if I wasn't so happy for the score. The P&C I pulled off of mine was truly a work of art. I'd like to get another one just to leave one intact.
 
The nearest store to me that rents is almost 2 hours away.

I'm on the waiting list at one of them. All the other stores I've called swear that they don't do waiting lists for those things... guess I'll just have to call and bug them a lot...


Just a tip for those of you. The one store I talked to said that corporate decides when to get rid of rental equipment, and they said those "orders" come at the 1st of every month so call around the 3rd or 4th of every month...
