However I know that when you try that the SKU number is always just one off so that it isn;t the same model that Sears carries as Target or Best Buy.
Even though it is the same exact thing. I took down a number at BJ's the other day looking on line for it. Found the same item but the number was different....go figure. You'll need to have the exact same model number and SKU number to be able to compare the prices and get the better price.
So in other words it is still a loss for the dept store.
If they are going to play games then people are still going to opt for the on-line price, so the dept store has gained nothing!
Or am I missing something.
I know when I was lawn tractor shopping I did notice that Sears would have the same exact tractor as Lowes of HD but instead of a 22hp engine it had a 20 or a 24hp. Nothing matched exactly between any of the stores.
So what you say makes sense.
