jcims said:I'll mention this every time i see one of these threads come up. While these stoves are relatively inexpensive in the wood stove market, they are fairly 'high-ticket' items at the stores in question (Farm & Fleet, Home Depot, Lowes, etc). As a result, all of these retailers will negotiate on price. Last year, my wife spotted an NCH-30 on clearance at Home Depot for $750. I offered $500 and they took it.
Just make sure you talk to someone that has the authority to make the deal. Generally I just ask for the manager and go from there. Don't be shy, the worst they can do is say no.
We just got our stove fired up this fall and I'm loving it!
tickbitty said:I get your point Matt but it's actually not available at my local Ace at all, it's only at that one outlet up north. So like the deals the OP posted at that retailer, it's not a deal that is available locally (not even a stove that's available locally - except at lowes/home depot and ordering through the website) I think the kind of deals jcims is mentioning though - haggling with the box stores - probably only works on in-stock stuff.

Any ACE Hardware store can order Englander stoves. They are in the store's computer system. The hinkey thing is that ACE corporate has to get back to them with a shipping charge amount.

thinkxingu said:Yeah, but I'm sure Lowe's would match it. I took an ad from a South Dakota store last year for $599 and they matched it, but wouldn't do the 10%.

It is the Lowes version so it has brushed nickel accents that the Blain's one didn't. I would say it was a good day. Now all I have to get is some double walled pipe to run a chimney. Anyone have any experience with SuperVent that you can get from Lowes?

Hello Bart,
How long have you had this stove and has it needed any parts? Those seem like a great stove for short money and just doing a little advance research...
Thanx,
Ray
