I don't think discounted wagons are in the same catagory as discounted
late season annuals... the plants will bring zero revenue if unsold...
the wagon can be offered for sale next year, but $19.95 is probalby
all it's worth anyway and still some profit, the $59 was way inflated,
as are all seasonal goods at the onset of the season. There are lots
of deep discounts on summer goods in every catagory now; grills and
lawn mowers gotta go to make room for snow blowers. It won't be much
longer and all live nursery plants will be deeply discounted.
Perennials, shrubs, and trees can be heeled in over winter but not
annuals.
this is the type of garden wagon I was talking about:
http://tractorsupply.com/detail.asp?...nID=580&page=1...
I own the same exact wagon, bought it at Lowes three years ago for
$65... if you can buy it new for $20 I suggest you buy as many
truckloads as you can, it's a great wagon but I seriously doubt you
can buy that particular wagon for $20... show me a link to a site
where it costs $20, then I will believe you.

like i said it was marked down at the local tractor supply. because
they had the sign stating that they were $19.95, they had to sale it at
that price. don't know if they have corrected it or not. an employee
there got fired for pricing stuff like that after the manager on duty
told her to mark them down to certain prices. the manager should have
taken the fall for it. that manager is no longer at our location either.

i don't need a truck load of them. didn't really need the one to start
with. when you see a price like that, you tend to just go for it.

oh, yeah, if you think that $59.00 was way over priced (way inflated was
your words exactly), then why did you pay $65.00 for yours?


Because that's what they cost, I've yet to see that particular wagon
for less.

Here's mine in my garage about ten minutes after I put it together:

our's was no assembly required...........


Yeah, right.


yeah, right, is right, apparently you have never been in a tractor
supply store. all the wagons they sell are already
assembled.......well, that's how it is in all the tractor supply stores
i've been in, here in NC

I showed you mine, you show me yours.

well, well, now..........I'm a little more modest than that! lol

will have to wait until i can get hold of another digital camera.
(disposable) - not everyone can afford the real deal.


How unfortunate for you.

I don't care about your picture, I want to see a link where it's
priced for $20.


how can i give you a link when it was a sign in the store that showed
the price?!?! all stores have sales prices that vary from the online store.

You're obviously dishonest... so far every post you've made here is
premised on gross exagerations and downright lies. And you are no RN
or life guard, no RN or life guard would have a need to ask about
kid's wading pools and pool water cleanliness on Usenet.



dishonesty is against my belief. and I wasn't asking about water
cleanliness, i was asking if there was a way to preserve and conserve
the water...........and you think what you want, the docs and hospitals
(and the marina) that i worked for know otherwise....

sorry charlie, had to reply to this one....he's trying to step on my
dignity. however, i will pray for him and ignore any more posts from
him on this one.

normally a peace-keeper,
