Ice Shows and Augers

I know this is kinda "Crystal Ball"ish but Fleet Farm has the Strikemaster Mag 2000 Power Auger 8 1/4" on sale for $289.99 until the 22nd. Does anyone know if I'll be able to find it cheaper at the Ice Show? Thanks.

I doubt you will find it for cheaper than that and if you do you will need to include the price you paid for parking and the ticket to get in, plus the other stuff you may buy. Pick it up from FF. If you go to the show and find it cheaper, then return it at FF.

Welcome. If you figure in gas, parking, food etc. you will do way better with the deal at FF.

I would still go to the show though.

I don't know if it matters, but usually when they are priced that low they are factory reconditioned. They carry the same full factory warranty and have a new auger on them. You can't tell the difference between a recon and a new one, some people are just get a bit funny about the reconditioned augers.

Oh I'll be at the show! You can count on that! I haven't made a big purchase like an auger in the past though and was wondering if they were discounted to that degree at the show. Thanks for the replies. I've been a "lurker" here for quite awhile but not a big poster... Not enough time in the day!

Big DS, I don't think this a reconditioned unit, normally if it was a recon it would be listed on the ad. If you look at the ad closely, it is listed as a "Strikemaster Magnum Plus. Never heard of this model before. Maybe it is a special model released by SM only thru FF, the SM site does not list it.

In the picture it looks like a Mag2000. $289 is tough to beat, especially with the cust service backing of SM.
