Here is an example of the price progression,
Yesterday I was in my local HD and once again saw this display of mechanical timers. I am not interested in the mechanical ones as I already pigged out on the digital ones listed earlier in this thread. These mechanical timers have been on clearance with a number that ends with “3” for just about the right amount time. I suspected they were ready to go to the here after, so I snapped this shot. There were cases of them, and they were not selling.
Notice the price progression, from 7.97 to 4.97 to 3.86, (ends with a “6”) to 1.33 (ends with a “3”)
Then one day later, today, I went by to check, just to see what was going on and I came across this!
Here is another example of something that was on clearance with a price that ended with “.00” and was changed to a price that ends with a “6” Only 4 cents cheaper, but I think it means it will be further reduced to a number that ends with “3” if it doesn’t sell.
Notice the original price of 24.97 reduced to 9.00.
I brought it up just to see what it would scan at.
It happens that it is missing a tap, so I wouldn’t be interested. Well maybe if it went to 3.83.
DEFINITELY if it went to a penny.
I swung by my HD tonight just to walk around dchomak style looking for possible penny items or items to keep an eye out for and I saw many with weird prices (i.e. not a "3" or "6", but a "4"). Found nothing that interested me though. I can post picks tomorrow or so (my photos won't show until tomorrow anyway).
Edit-BTW- many items scanned in the app at their full regular price.
So here are the pics of "closeout" or at least "reduced priced" items that I found at two different Home Depots over the last couple days while I was dchomak'ing through the store.
I expect these will be clearanced soon. The blue packaging on the right just seems like a new package, not any change in specs. Price still ends in a "7" though. Perhaps it will go to a "6" soon?
Perhaps these will go to a penny soon? On the app, it scans up full original price.
Another "3" price; pretty good discount already. May not stick around for a penny. I have no use for the above or below items though. App scans it at full original price.
2nd Store (Bucket's neck of the woods). Pretty good discount with a "3".
Really nice price on these $36/$28 Hart framing hammers! However, the price ends in a "2"! What is the significance of a "2"? Think at the first store that I saw some closeout prices ending in a "4" as well but apparently didn't get any pics.
Ah, here's an item I saw with a "4" price. What's this mean? I've been thinking to get one of these too! I passed this one up. I will recheck on it at the first store.
These gloves on clearance ending with a “2” also eventually rang up at a penny. IMA4 got some and I got some. So the rules are not hard and fast. From that PDF file you linked to, It confirmed what a manager told me. Ends with a “6” for (6 weeks?) then on to “3” for (3 weeks?) then out the door into the trash. Look for the progression and keep track. Maybe get lucky and catch them on the shelves at .01
All the Christmas displays were out today, when I went to home depot. The lights, the knives, the tools, etc. A Coast zoomie that is polymer, not aluminum. Two of the big defiant lights, 3D and 4D, both have triple leds in them. Deep reflectors, might be great for 3 XM-L2. Also the 50 led 4xAA light and the normal 3xAAA lights, two to a package. Some coast knives, a lot of tools. I could have bought a lot, but with no money, all I did was look, LOL.
Both Lowe’s and Home Depot here, dropped their hot dog stands. I imagine it was due to health reasons, but I’m not sure. I miss that smell when I go to there. Always loved the smell of those dogs, when I went in or came out.

Cool. Hope you pick one and do one of your great break down threads. They were still not out here at a nearby HD yesterday.
The heads are the same, just one has 3D and the other 4D. The whole reflector diameter is only around 50mm, so the three cups are about the size of SRK cups, but just lengthened out.
So, 50-55mm overall diameter and about 45mm depth. Each cup maybe 20-25mm in diameter. Looks to be XP-G2 possibly, but I could not see the led well. Maybe even a smaller die than XP-G. I'm sure it will be a plastic reflector and it is a plastic lens. It's $30 for the 3D and $40 for the 4D. I don't see them selling well, but with the overall cost of flashlights in retail going up tremendously in the last year, maybe they will be scarfed up. I sure won't buy one. I can buy a Maglite for that price and have a much better light to mod.
