I was looking for the wood/blue version at Gander Mountain today. None in the store and Gander Mountain's computer showed only 7 of those left in their chain of stores. But listen to this...they had them listed at $99.98. Well, came up empty after 7 calls to 7 stores...nobody actually had any in stock.
I looked up and saw a NEF box leaning against the far side of the counter. I walked over and saw that it was a Stainless Sidekick. So I asked the salesperson what the price was, he scans it, and it comes up $262. It didn't interest me as I knew I could get the wood version at Walmarts for $142 or the stainless for $206.
So I ask the guy if the woods were slashed to $99, to check and see if there likewise was a price cut on the stainless. Sure enough he comes back with a price of $169.97!
Well that was a no brainer. Came home with a Stainless Sidekick for only $27 more than Walmart's price for a wood/blue!
