Gearwrench has a 114 piece tap and die set I'd like to have to upgrade/expand my elderly assortment of taps and dies. I've seen it as low as $239, but it's been at $299 running up to Christmas. I've been watching it expecting an after-Christmas sale. Yesterday it was still $299 Today it's $440.  Fortunately, it's a "Gee, that'd be nice" rather than a "Damn, I need that". Probably should've grabbed it at $299 minus my 10% military discount, but I'm damned if I'll pay $440 for it! Still on Amazon for $299, but that's still more than I'm willing to pay for something that's a convenience not a need. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | ||

dynamic pricing saw you coming.  Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "If dogs don't go to Heaven, I want to go where they go" Will Rogers The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own... | |||

I’ve been looking for a linear (not switching) 13.8v power supply to drive some ham radio gear. Only ones I’ve found were Chinese and they included this website note: “This item may be subject to a 41% tariff.” Wonder if HD might have been impacted by something like that vs. just plain gouging? | |||

If Gearwrench products are made in China, that's quite possibly the issue. If Amazon's price goes up similarly that'd pretty much explain it. EDIT: I checked. China/Taiwan depending on the actual product. Shit. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

If you want something and the price is right the smart thing to do is buy it because if you wait 9 times out of 10 prices only go up with time. | |||

They did that because this weekend it will be on "sale" for $349...down from $440!  | |||

That wouldn't surprise me a bit. I checked, Amazon's price actually went DOWN a few bucks. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Just remember, there is a limit of 5 per order. Get your orders in now while you can.   | |||

Do a search through Amazon then fleabay, that gives an idea of the baseline price. After that you have the used market or another alternative product. If not in a hurry, I’ll play the game some. I recently ordered an Echo CS-590 saw off fleabay, new in box. As long as I get below the 10% military discount price at Home Depot, good enough. Yeah, there’s taxes & shipping most anywhere too. | |||

There's a website called camelcamelcamel that will monitor price changes on Amazon. You put in the price you want, and it'll send you an alert when it drops below that price. | |||
