    These run around $260 new on sale, so the price seems a little on the high side.

        At sears.com. The $444 price is pretty much "list", but Sears periodically puts them on sale.


        If you watch the deal sites, you can find them for $260 roughly quarterly. Sometimes they run even better specials, and you can save a few more bucks by using a referral site to get a rebate. I bought mine for $255 on sale and received a $30 referral rebate, so my net cost was $226 - but that was an unusual deal.

          i don't recall ever seeing them that low. Mid 300's maybe.
          But, I don't watch all that closely.

          If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

            Went back and looked up my receipt. On 5/23/2010, the price was $304.45 plus a $50 sale discount, for a net price of $254.45. Rebates were calculated on the pre-discount price of $355.09,
            for a rebate of $28.41, making the net price $226.04.

              I think that is a sweet deal!
              I said I want to touch the earth
              I want to break it in my hands
              I want to grow something wild and unruly
