:

Do you think they were sending them back?

*I* don't, but that was based on one employee's reaction. Well, OK... so, story time:

Let's just say "I have a type." And although I'm happily married, I'm also not blind.

Shortly after I got mine and headed to the counter, I passed a woman that, well, she was cute and my type. I noticed her but didn't feel like I stared or anything. But as I passed her, she stopped me, which of course set of all kinds of alarms in my head like "was I staring?" or "am I somehow busted?"

Point is: I was flustered, so when she asked me "excuse me, what's that?" I didn't quite know what to say or how to react.

Turns out she's the local Ryobi rep to HD and was asking about the sprayer. We talked for a bit about it (once I stopped babbling and got my wits about me) and she said she was surprised to see me with it because she thought she'd sold the last one the night prior. I told her they had an entire pallet of them and they got one for me from there. She thanked me and said something about going to make sure they were displayed properly.

So yeah, based on her reaction as well, I'd say they weren't planning on shipping them back at all.

I bought 2 when it was first posted couple weeks ago(there were like 14 of them piled up, some of the boxes were very distressed though but back then I had the choice to get the best ones) I honestly was on the fence because the discount was 50% off what makes it a great deal, so far I have used one 6 times to spray roundup, I honestly I have not checked on if there is a bottom for slow down the pressure/amount of product, I think it works great and I can do the work very quickly, literally now I walk very fast since I know it will spray so much product so quickly, I guess no really a complain but an observation if you fill it with Max 4 gallons it gets heavy and the shoulder straps are not padded enough but since the work I do it now so fast it has not bothered my back too much. Overall for $75 bucks I can't complain, I almost bought the extended warranty I wonder if I can still go to Home Depot and do that
Wish you happy hunting!!!

No luck in CT.

Scored one in Stamford. There were 3 left on a higher shelf. There should be 2 left though that was a week ago.

Frazer, PA location had a pallet. Aisle 2, middle of the store. They should have put them on the 2nd shelf as they bright the pallet out for me and had a nice open spot on the 2nd shelf where there was one with a damaged box.

And of course it's raining today. Weeds won this weekend.

I got 2 of the newer model for $79. Went to 5 stores couldn't find them. Last store had the new one labeled wrong for $79. Rang up as $149 but when I show them the two labels on the shelf where I got mine they agreed.

Snagged it at the north Durham, NC store. One remaining when I left, at the very front of the store (they had a bunch of outdoor power equipment against the front wall), sitting on the floor.
