Home Depot politics
In article , "Vox Humana"
wrote: "Sue" wrote in message ... Thanks for that bit, Z. Here in Maine we are about to experience Lowes in competition with HD. 2 Lowes stores, one in Brunswick and one in Auburn. The Auburn Store will be in quadrangle with HD, Super Wal-Mart, and BJ's Wholesale Club. Another Big Box property on the same "strip" is yet to be disclosed, was the former Wal-mart. Simply put, I'm looking for the best deal on an Echo 210 Staight Shaft Trimmer and the brush blade that goes with. HD has the lowest price in Maine at the moment and I'm holding out at this point for end of season sales. If I were purely politically oriented, I'd not buy from HD. But when MY budget is tested on a product or a project, I'll shop for best price ( period). choice is wonderful. Be sure you are comparing apples to apples. Sometimes HD has products produced to cheaper specifications that are sold only in its stores. The Echo trimmer that you want may or may NOT be exactly the same at Lowe's, Wal-Mart, and Home Depot. Almost anything sold by any of these crap-o-mats can be found to have a parallel product vastly better from Seers. I'm no huge fan of Seers, but I'm far less a fan of products that break easily or don't even work, which is what you get at (in order of crappiness) Home Depot & its ilk. And all too often, the illusion of having saved a dollar by paying $10 at Home Depot for what costs $11 at Seers, since the Lowes product breaks right away it's actually $10 too much, & since the Seers version lasts for years & years, it's the real bargain. I've also gotten superior products at Ace Hardware & Fred Meyers, in some cases after having to return unutterable junky versions to Home Depot or Lowes. I have hardly ever set foot in WalMart, but the couple times I ever got anything there (a garden light comes to mind) it was broken in a trice, so WalMart slipped off my map entirely. I do still compare-shop at Home Depot & Lowes, but anything that has two or more moving parts to it is guaranteed not to work as well (if at all) as the equivalent from Seers. It's just the way it always works out. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir!
