Yep, a come-on which has reached the status of a "turn-off" ...


You've set your expectations way too high. ;-)



Not any longer ...


;-)

I've always been suspect of sales. I've been seeing more of this sort of ad
recently. The first were from HF. Since they have little I want, at any
price, I guess I'm jaded to the copycats. When one of these sales comes
along, I will look through Rockler's (or Woodcraft's) catalog to see if there
is anything I want that the sale makes worthwhile buying now. Sometimes they
set a hook but not often.

BTW, just for kicks, I added a Laguna Drift Master fence ($400) to the basket.
Nope, the sale didn't take. Did I miss something in the exclusion list? ;-)

Rockler also sent out a bunch of coupons ($5 off $15, $10 off $50, and $20 off
$100, IIRC), good in-store. I'll bring them along when I go up to Atlanta,
next time.
