I am a full-time contractor. Not particularly concerned .
TLDR: set store to location with new model in stock for pickup.

I have just picked up mine today.
Since no one has posted, this is what seems to be going on.

New model m12 circular saw was released, in order to clear out old inventory, the old saw has a sale (very common)

To keep things simple, they won't keep 2 product pages up soo they linked the new saw to the point to the current saws page which isn't best but there it is, this should change when stores get the new model saw in stock. So if you're store hasn't gotten the updated model, it won't be an easy time getting the new one for old price. So solution: go pick up at store which already has the new saw before this gets fixed.

OLD MODEL: 2530-20
NEW MODEL; 2521-20

Easiest way to visually eyeball it is probably the new one has a black guard instead of grey.
Smaller, lighter, higher rpm, vac port.

Available at that price online as well. I couldn't check out fast enough 😂 Almost pulled the trigger on the old version posted last week. Now I just need a HO battery to pair it up with. Thanks OP!

Damn... I didn't do anything special. I just clicked the link to see deal and it showed up as $99. I think sometimes the pricing is based on your region

19090 is my zip in case that helps

I have the M18 version that's probably 6 years old with minimal use.

$99 at my store and 10% military. So tempting

price changes when I change the delivery address Frown
Any way to game this? Order with the wrong zip then correct it?

I may have an extra 15% off $100 using HD CC. I can spare it. Gotta check when I get home.

Edit: I was offering to give it to one of you!

After I purchased it at my store, they took the remaining 5 units out of stock. There's no way those 5 units sold within the hour.

I don't really understand the point of m12 for a circ saw. I'd go m18 and get the proper cutting depth, battery run time, and speed. I think the DeWalt is also supposed to be really good.

No one else completely turned off by the plastic blade cover? I just returned a 6 1/2 inch M18 for the brushless version because of that. The second I put it in my toolbox I said nope, this isn't going to last
