Gloat - PC 8529

Does this qualify? I've been working out of town for 3 weeks -
haven't been able to make any dust, and it SUCKS!! I went into the
local Borg - on Long Island - tonight, just to look around and see
what kind of tools they had.

Looked at the router display - they had the PC 8529 on sale for $100!!
Asked the tool guy if they had any more (I coulnd't find any on the
stock shelf). He said they just about flew out of the store when they
marked them down (no kidding?). But, he agreed to sell me the display
unit for $90. It didn't have the case, wrench or directions, but it
did have the 1/2" collett attached to the cord. I pulled out the
AMEX, and jumped on it!

Went back to the hotel room, downloaded the directions from the PC
site, and sent them an email and asked if I could buy a collett wrench
from them - In any case, it seems like an outstanding deal -

Selling the display for 10% off is the standard procedure for Home Depot.
Most of the time the other pieces are missing like the 1/2" collet,
wrench, etc. I had the same offer earlier today, but chose to find a
router that has all of the parts.

My local HD had only the display, with the cord cut. They are
transferring two from another store, for $100.00 each, in the box.
