By sticker on them do you mean a reduced price sticker?
Where’s your local B&Q? |

Well I’ve had a right run around this morning trying to find one at £250. 
The closest B&Q warehouse to me is at the Silverlink (North Shields)…I went there first as I had seen the DW712 there for £299 last week….there was no saws on show so I asked if they had any left…..the guy said they had sold out as the price had been reduced to £250.
He checked if any of the other nearby stores had any left …they did.
I went to the next closest B&Q (Scotswood Road) only to find that the saw there was still priced at £299…..I spoke to one of the assistants & told him that the Silverlink store had been selling them at £250….he checked with the manager who said the Silverlink had reduced the saw as the store has just been refurbished & had some “New Store Look” offers on….& that they were Not going to drop the price any lower in the foreseeable future.
I was also told the same at another nearby B&Q (Washington)
@ handyman & tim’ll fix it
Had the stores where you saw it for £250 just been refurbished…new displays etc?
I really want one of these for £250 now. |

yes, it needs knocked down to get more parking spaces.
And the staff are worse than normal.
and they dont collect the trolleys out the carpark
and the carpark lights are always off.
I complain all the time in that store

Handforth is my nearest but I refuse to go 'cos its cr*p.....however, if I'm in the middle of a job and I need something quickly I take the chance and 99% of time I end up wasting more time going back to Stockport. Now thats had a refurb and IMO its bringing it in line with Handforth  or is it that BnQ is just going down hill |

I think B&Q reduce the prices on a store by store basis….something’s are nation wide some aren’t.
I’ll give the stores near to me a ring over the weekend to see if they do end up reducing the price to £250.
Thanks for the heads up anyway.
Cheers. |
