We just got back...
The one in Youngstown is in a big tent. In two weeks, there will be one at the Summit County Fairgrounds, in an enclosed climate controlled building. Hopefully the selection there will be better. The annual 11 day sale in Akron always has their full product lineup also.
The one we were just at had probably the poorest selection of any of the ones we've been to. I wouldn't buy most of their own brand of hand tools and power tools, but there are other things there I usually go there to look at...
The selection of recondioned Dewalt tools was very poor, at best, but they did have reconditioned Magnavox televisions for cheap! No tractors /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif, but they had two of the four foot rough cut mowers for $299, a couple tillers, a rear scoop, and two of the dump trailers...
They actually had one of the dump trailers assembled and on display, but you can tell they've used it for that for a while. None of the nuts and bolts were completely tightened and almost half of them were missing. I'm sure it would be less flimsy if it was assembled correctly and would be stiffer if the wood floor was in place, but as it stood the display model didn't make a very good case to convince my wife that we should buy one. In addition to this, the two that were still in the package were in torn boxes with holes and not taped shut. I didn't want to take the risk that something would be missing. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
The last time I was contemplating this purchase, they had an entire pallet of these, and I could have taken my pick to get the best looking box. I'll check the next sale and give my next update then... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
P.S. To answer Bob Skurka's question, yes, it does have a hand-pumped hydraulic cylinder, just like a bottle jack. In my opinion, it's well worth the $199, but I have to convince the CFO that it's a "needed" item. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif (long story)
