OK, guys, here's the latest. A Sears ad came out in today's Hilo newspaper with an energy star, front loading washer with all the features we want for $150 off list price. We happily go down to Sears expecting to purchase a machine. Friendly salesman tells us, "That's a new model. We don't have it because we need to sell the old models first." He told us he didn't know when they would get them and then showed us a unit more or less the same, but for $125 more than the sale price on the new model. We left. (I should note that the ad was specifically made for the Hawaii market, featuring a lot of aloha clothes and other local stuff.) A friend we ran into in Safeway told us this happens all the time. Should I call the store manager?
