So here is the latest, I went to home depot and they did not have any NC 30’s in stock so I told the Manager if she can sell me the floor model and she said NO. I explained to her that I have been looking for this stove for a week now, she felt bad for me and decided to sell me the stove. I asked her the price and she said $999.99, I asked for a discount and she said that she could not discount the stove because it is the floor model and they just put it out 2 weeks ago and they sold out on the stock they had (I quote the manager “they are selling like hot cakes”. I looked at the stove and I looked at the manager and I said; the stove has surface scratches and it was missing the manual (I already downloaded it). The manger looked at me and said OK, I will give you 10 % off….So guess what I took it. To make matters better I had a 10% off Movers coupon, so the total price $800.00 for a new Englander 30 during peak season…..Hurray for me….
