thanks all. Im really the first person to try always try to go local, worked in my dads "local" brake/wheel tire shop for years -- saw lots of loyalty with customers and then all of the issues with "chains" doing shoddy work. Maybe not the best comparision, but stuck with me.
Free shipping for Amazon, free delivery for HD/Lowes. Plan on selling the DW on CL for $50. It works, but needs some TLC,. And its 13 years old, loud and top rack wheel axels are broken and would require a completely new rack.
30 day Free returns online, free shipping back. Assuming manufac warranty takes over after that, even if I bought at HD/lowes.
Didnt think about sales tax... looks like none at Amazon but $28 locally.
Im trying to decide what the "local" impact really is? HD prob got it from the same place as Amazon, right? Prob came from China on the same boat. Im not visiting the store, so Im not making a worker there "work" for the sale. They are both being delivered, so the delivery guys get paid, be it from one place or the other.
Id buy it from a "local" appliance place, but theres only one on the manufac site, and they actually dont sell it, said they could order it, but it would be MSRP, which is $250(!) more than Amazon or HD/Lowes
Thanks David, did look at Sears outlet, they have one, but description said "scratch on front". And its 3 hours away. Discount was about $75 off list, and delivery was $75... so...
We are looking for a specific brand to "match" our fridge and microwave color, so I have that limitation as well.
