Isn't this what they call a "pigeon drop" in the con-man world? You inflate the price and this makes the current "cash price" seem like such a steal the buyer doesn't even consider doing comparison shopping. All the buyer/pigeon sees is the "deal of a lifetime" that he thinks he is getting.
 
I found a deal of a lifetime!

It's hard to believe. I dont believe it myself just yet. But I bought my 361
at a Industrial supply store in Fort Wayne Indiana.. Get this:: 350 dollars plus tax. I went there with the boss to pick up some lineman supplies. And I was going to buy myself a 290 farm boss. The 361 was in the mix of aprox... 16 290's. I asked the fella at the counter " how much for the 361 ?".. He said
they did not stock them. Only the 290's. Well Its a long story, but he told me 350 dollars. Then I started shaking like Don Knots. Dry mouth. Couldnt think strait. He knew what he was doing because he told me it retailed for 599 with a 20 in bar. But still told me 350.. Wow I bet he dont own that store.. hehe.. Well fella's , an hour later I had crossed the michigan border and I was still out of it. Same dry mouth .. Thought I was in some sort of trouble. I knew the specs. perfectly on the 361 before I asked him the price. "no tag on it". I was dreaming of that saw but it was too much cash for me too dish out at 600 dollars 3 weeks before. I am not trying to hijack the thread but the word DEAL triggered me..hehehe. Take the saw for 350 sir. We are not even supposed to have that here!!!! WOW

That's alot of money for a seized 440. Nuts.
Oh dont get me wrong guy's , I am not braging about the price. I saved for 2 months out of my work money to just but a 290. Oh, I have had it about a month and a half and it has never even seen my garage.. It is in my house..
