Craftsman 11818 Nextec 12-volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Hammerhead Auto Hammer $29.99 (Sears Black Friday Pre Sale)

Wish they would remove the pricing from the site to make it clear this dead. blah.

NOT DEAD as long as price is showing $29.99 on the site.

It was a pain in the butt, but I called them on the phone and placed my order. They are charging me the $49.88 and refunding the difference in 3-5 days. I purchased a Sears Gift Card/Certificate from Discover and used that. The card/certificate is $50 worth for $45. I paid the balance with my Discover, but that will get refunded later. I purchased an extra battery that is also now on sale for $19.99. So my final amount will be $45 plus tax for the kit with a spare battery.

Giving them all the information on the phone is a pain in the butt......... . The E-Certificate number that includes an 8 digit pin along with a CC number with all that goes with that. I realized that Shop Discover is doing 10% off for Sears now. I should have just done it that way instead of getting the E-Certificate.

SD is killing me!

Quote from Inu_Yasha : Bigtbone, have you signed up for the "Shop Your Way" Rewards? Below is a link to sign up if not: https://www.shopyourway.com/secured/rewards/join Once you sign up, you add the "Shop Your Way" rewards to your sears account, and when you add the item to your cart, it will show you the members only price. It also gives you points much like cash back that you can spend on other items, and occasionally they send $ off coupons.

Yes, I have signed up, I have an account number, and I can see my reward points I've already added from other Sears purchases. I can see the members price on Sears.com, but when I click add to cart, it doesn't give me that member price.

Showing $49.88 for me.

"refunding the difference in 3-5 days"

You said you paid with a gift card right? Likely you will get a gift card in the mail for the refund amount in about 1 month, maybe. Please follow up because if they credit your gift card in 3 to 5 days I call a miracle.

I bought it online, the price was correct at $29.99, but I later got an email that stated that the store that I had originally intended to pick this up from (in town) was out of stock, but that I had the option of choosing another store 45 minutes away.

I tried to do so, and it erred out. So I spoke with a store manager in town who ordered it for me, printed my receipt, and told me to pick it up in the other store (I was headed there anyway). So I got the last one within a few hundred miles.

FWIW, the store manager mentioned that because of all the issues they were having online, Sears was stopping the selling of certain items that are to be available on BF as well, due to running out of stock too quickly.

So don't be surprised if some of the pre-BF items are gone on BF.

The $28 difference was placed on my Discover card. They said it would go back to my Discover and I'll make sure it does. I recently had a problem with Sears and a refund that involved a gift card use purchase I made. It has been taken care of, but it wasn't pretty at all. I'll have something in my possesion in 6 days this time or the stuff will hit the fan. That would not be a way to end an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday, for Sears CS anyway.

Thanks for the heads up though. Had I not recently had the problem I had, I wouldn't have known how messed up they are. I hope they don't tank unless they at least sell the Craftsman line that keeps my warranty going. I hate to see them go at all, but they sure have gone downhill in the last few years.

Logged into my rewards acct, but still showing the full price, this sucks
