Update: looking to now purchase 2 580bts
Went to dealer this morning and left with $500 still in my pocket. As we all knew, the deal is on in stock items only. The dealer went out of his way to call the local warehouse, that was closed, but luckily he could check the inventory of the warehouse online. If the blower was in the warehouse, he could order it and eventually get the serial number which is what you need to make the deal happen. The warehouse didnt have the blower in stock. The next option for him is to find a dealer with the blower and buy it from him. He said he would call if they found something. Whats really in it for them to do all this running around on something that they arent making much money on?
Which leads me to the next thing, found a dealer that has 4 of the blowers in stock, buttttt he laughed at the black friday promotion and says he dont make much on this stuff( as we all know). This same guy told me last month that he pays $470 for this blower and it sells for $579.99. If i buy this a regular price. its $626 otd. If i buy it at 20% off , we're talkin $501 otd. Thats a big difference, not to mention id be supporting my local dealer. There's a few online dealers that will sell and ship the same blower for $500 as long as u call the order in over the phone. Id much rather support my local dealer, but they dont wont to participate in this program and I dont blame them.
