Sears often advertises "10% off every appliance" with no disclaimers. Go into
the store and you find that certain brands are excluded.

I just recieved notice of a 2 day only sale at Sears, 5% of
electronics--and, in the very fine print, they excluded Samsung, Song,
LG, and Panasonic, among others. It left me a little perturbed.

Always Electrolux,
for instance. There are some items (Festool, Leigh and PC jigs, for sure) are
price controlled by the manufacturer. The margins on power tools would make
such a sale impossible. Other than that, yes, it's a come-on. What
advertisement isn't?
