Oh, gee, why did I have to see posts about the Englander NC30 for $649 if ordered via Watertown, NY?????
I went to the Watertown site, put the stove in my shopping cart, got out the credit card... and couldn't do it. Some of you use the term, "pull the trigger," which gives my nonviolent, peace-loving Quaker nature a major case of heebie-jeebies... So, for sure I couldn't do THAT. (By the way, I'd never seen that term before, and at first I thought it meant to get rid of an old smoke eater).
Anyway, while I'd dearly love to save money on an Englander for my dining room, I will wait a year or so, putting spare change in the sugar bowl, and add one when the time is right. I just can't bring myself to pretend that Watertown is my home store in order to get their price.
My actual home store in Pennsylvania has the stove at $999. I am headed up that way Friday. Maybe I'll stop in and see if they'd be willing to match Watertown's price. That I could live with. I'll report back with their answer.
Sidebar question: Does the Watertown store get a cut from the internet sales if the stoves are shipped from the factory to the buyer? Just curious.
Incidentally, I've been window shopping half a dozen stoves, and there are other, much more expensive stoves, that I fancy. Like the soapstones, some top-loaders, etc. But I keep coming back to the Englander. It's plain, simple, dressed in all black... What's not to love for a Quaker?
