Crazy Deal today

I stopped into Ace Hardware in Naples today and started talking to a dude about eggs. He was asking if there is much difference between BGE and KJ. We stood and chatted for a while looking at the KJ and I suggested that the egg is the best but a "Joe" is great for the price. That's when the sales person noticed a red tag on the KJ. He said, this may be on clearance, let me look.
I grabbed the tag off the other one when the clerk came back and said "85% off today". I asked if they were both the same price, he said "yes". I said I'll take it. He said the diffuser was on clearance as well. I paid $127.50 for a black Joe and $7.50 for the heat deflector! The guy that bought the other one had an SUV and we put them both in the truck and took the home. I really didn't need it but how can you refuse a deal like that!
Funny thing is I was there to try and buy a canning rack to hack a diffuser for my Acorn jr that I have in Naples ( holiday place )

They verified the price in the computer and everyone in the store was happy to see the two of us getting such a great deal! The red one was the one I wanted but the other guy committed first so it was the black one or nothing. I was thrilled to get such a great deal!In the bush just East of Cambridge,Ontario

I don't have an issue with it , its a nice score. If a shop is losing money on an item to move it so be it, i just think cost to a distributor would be higher than that $130.Seattle, WA

Awesome deal. I would have jumped on it as well even though I don't need another one. Would make a great Christmas present for somebody. Heck, what am I saying? It would go and live down on the ranch.

Well, the staff were all in the know and excited to see us get a great deal. If I didn't buy it there were several more people waiting behind me. One guy even said he was going to fight me for it but the sales clerk told him to get lost, I was there 10 minutes before he showed up. This is a vacation place for us in Naples and I have been doing great with an Acorn Jr. As a matter of fact, I like using the small kamado enough that I will buy a MM or Joe Jr at home to live beside my LBGE.

Business I work for sold the KJ's until recently, I know for a fact they cost the dealer a lot more then $130, regardless of number of units they originally ordered.
