Not to ruin the fun...but it's always $999. I caught wind of this same "sale" about a month ago, and after comparing and pondering right up until the last day for the "sale"...I bought it.
The next day...it was still $999...and now it gone down to $999....you get the idea. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade...I just don't want folks to be pressured by a price that is just the same old low price you'd get any other day.
About my purchase...I'd still have done it even after realizing the truth...but I wouldn't have felt pressured into a purchase date /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I've never dealt with King Kutter, what other brand do they compare to?

I also noticed that about several of the prices in their "sale" ad. We got that in today's paper.
Radio Shack was notorious for doing this several years ago. I asked the manager of the local store why the prices in their sale ad were exactly the same as the prices in their annual catalog. He responded that it's not a "sale" ad, but a means to remind people that those products are availiable to be purchased at Radio Shack.

When I purchased my KingKutter model TG-60 tiller in 2001 it was $979.00 at regular price so at least they haven't gone up much.

A lot of their ad prices are just the normal everyday prices.
Interesting to see your sales add says that the Fimco 60 gal 3pt sprayer is around 428.00 and here in Ohio it is 388.00. I have taken flyers in from other stores to request they match the price and they do normally.

Well, I just dropped by my local TSC store in Traverse City, MI (NW Lower) and the price tag on the 5 ft KK II was $1199 /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Further the guy said "that's the price they will be all year long - they never really go on sale"
Seems like a $200 price difference between stores in the same chain is WAAAY too much. Any other TSC experience out there??
