   It might be your best bet between now and late fall, or whenever it is they have their annual "get it now" sale.   If you're looking for S&D, ya gotta get there early!

   Sorry for getting to this a little late.

   If you have not been to the Griz sale before, be aware their system is a little squirrelly.  Each machine / tool has a different price depending on condition and has a tag.  You pull the tag and get in line to pay.  In practice, what happens is that the first ones in the gate, shopping say for a table saw, pull the tags off all the machines and only buy one.  A guy walked right in front of me one year and pulled the tags off six jointers, ten minutes later he bought one. 

   But the sale brings many other manufacturers and many have sales going on stuff that is regularly on the shelf. 

   If nothing else, it can be a hoot just to people watch as they scramble to get the bargain.  FG is right...  early bird gets the worm, line starts forming at 6:00 AM for a 9:00 AM opening.
