Not to add to your pain, Ralph, but I really LOVE my Craftsman 17" DP for only $179, not in small part due to the fact that it was supposed to be on sale for $479! It pains me to no end that they caught their mistake in time to prevent you and others from also ripping them a good one.
It's not that, or the quality of there tools. When the sale happened I went to my local Sears store; they had the sale price posted on the floor model drill press. I talked to 3 different people to make sure that was actually the price. I was assured it was. They didn't have any problems taking my money. Only problem was they only had the floor model and it had been messed with had some stuff missing. Should have just gone ahead and taken it. But I was assured by a manager that I would get one as I had paid in full and the order was placed. A week or so later I get a check in the mail from Sears with no explination as to why. I had to call and talk to a manager to find out they had cancled the order, and they would not stand behind there word. Now they are trying to sell me an extended warranty for a item they refused to hold up there end of the agrement on and deliver to me.

Joel _ Let's be fair now, Nardelli didn't cause any of Chrysler's problems, and he's not even making salary. Not that he needs to after his exit goody bag from the Depot. He's compensated (mabey) the way I think these guys should - based on performance. If he turns them around he'll get a humongous payday. If not, he'll get a $1 a year and all the coffee he can drink. Chrysler has been going downhill ever since they divested themselves of Gulfstream years ago. Bet they'd like to have Gulfstream's 5 year waiting list and the deposits to go with them right about now.
