If you're in the market for a plate joiner, and have a Porter Cable in
mind, check this deal out:
Borg Depot has got a 20% off sale on all power tools today and I think
tomorrow (Dec 19/20). The PC557 goes for $197.00, so I got it for
$157.00. Also, Porter Cable has got a $30 rebate on this item till
the end of the year
(http://www.portercable.com/index.asp?e=564&p=300497) (you have to
create a login, etc). So when all said and done, it'll be about
$130.00. Not a bad deal. I've been looking all over for a deal on
this guy. Can't even get a used on one Ebay for near this price. I
was considering the DeWalt, but at this price, I couldn't pass it up.
Bob
I took advantage of the frenzy myself. Didn't really think I needed
a plate joiner but what the heck. I stumbled across a $100 gift cert
I had tucked away since 1995, the 20%, and a $30 rebate makes it
around $36 I had to fork over.
One note though, the cards that Home Depot had for the rebate actually
say "Gift Card" not rebate. Not sure what that means but you may
actually get a $30 credit of some sort for a PC tool in the future.
The form they have online says "$30 Cash Rebate". I think I'll email
them and see what they say.
Cheers,

Thank you for the heads-up on this rebate. Other posts in this newsgroup
alerted me to the Borg's 20% off sale. So I went there this afternoon with
the $100 gift card my brother had already given me, picked up the $197 PC557
for a gloat-worthy net cost to me of $67.06 (tax included). You've just
turned that into $37.43 (postage included).

You know, after I posted the comment, and got new headers, I saw quite
a few other people had posted similar messages and I thought perhaps I
made a mistake by not checking first. I'm glad that I was able to
make a few people aware of the rebate, though.
