Anyone ever negotiate at Home Depot?
How hard is it to get them to knock 10% off of a lawn mower? I already have their credit card so I can't sign up for another one.
I want a fancy Honda one like Scrib has.

What's the worst that happens, they say no. Ask for the manager and see if they will use their discretionary powers to give you a discount for a "scratch" or some other made up reason.

Creepy guy in the mirror.
IF they wont give you 10% get a friend to buy it at full price, and return it for refund a day later for any reason. Go and buy it from returns as a restock at a discount.
It works with building materials.

Fatwallet probably has a link to a coupon...
You can get 10% from filling out a "moving" form on homedepot.com but it takes 4-6 weeks to come in...
Just tell 'em you want the 10% and if they don't you'll come back with a coupon...

I got lucky tonite at the Depot, I was looking at the Honda HRR1625DA mower which is on clearance for $299 and also one of their Vermont Casting grills, asked him if they could do any better on the price of the lawn mower, they said if they take 10% off both will that work.
Needless to say I bought both. I guess he was an assitant manager and had the authority to do it. Just ask, you have nothing to lose.

They had some grills outside on clearance but I didn't get a good look at them. I wouldn't say they were much cheaper than the new ones and some were missing parts.
If I buy the mower at this HD I definitely want one in the box. I'll have to stop at another HD to see if the clearance stuff is in better shape.
On the other hand I looked at a Vermont Casting grill for the first time. They seem to have really good construction compared to the other similar stuff, and the prices are the same. I like the one with the blue lid. I think it was $350-$400.

Good luck on your hunt. I found that each Home Depot usually has different stuff on clearance and for different prices.
