Title: Couldn't resist the offer.
Post by: GusRobin on September 15, 2014, 09:43:26 PM

I saw an ad for Sports Academy that said 40% off patio furniture and accessories. So I went to see if I could get a deal on something.  I asked the sales person if what I wanted was covered by the sale but he said it wasn't. I didn't think it would be but thought I would try. So I asked what he would sell the floor model to me for. He said it is normally $64 and he would give me 10% off. Told him it was $59 on line (forgot to mention the $15 shipping). So he said he would give 10% off $59. I said I would give him $30. After a few back and forth offers and getting the manager involved, we settled on $44.

What did I buy?  The 22" version. Only thing wrong with it was that it had a lot of dust on it and a couple of scuff marks on the top.

Did I need to buy it ---No. But some of you have been making some good posts with the Smokey and I couldn't help myself. I guess it is all part of being addicted.

Gus, great buy. I think Capt Jack is their official spokesperson and most enthusiastic fan.
