Turns out this pricing doesn't apply near me in GA, but I saw many posts online saying that this price is showing up for other zip codes. I even saw someone who said they were able to get the discount by selecting store pickup in a different zip code, then changing to free home delivery during checkout.*
*I am not encouraging anyone to try this. But the ethics of price discrimination are shady at best, so finding a way to get around them is really just righting a wrong.

You're right. Here's a link to a store in the New Jersey area. Why should they get the mower for $100 less than the people in my area? Not selling as well? Personally, I don't think the mower is selling like hotcakes anywhere. Of course I don't have the sales numbers.

But just knowing that it's $100 less elsewhere makes the regular $500 price seem really unappealing, even if it is a fair price and a good value. Does pricing discrimination EVER not backfire?

I guess it all depends who they can make a deal with. With Amazon, you can't put your hands on an item because they have no retail space. On the other hand, Amazon has such a big customer base because of their convenience and customer service that sales could do well there.
Ego, if you have a great product and you know it, don't enter into one-sided contracts.

In fact, I'm just within the 90-day return period, so the manager refunded me the difference! So, anyone wh recently bought the mower, dig out that receipt and head to Home Depot.

Apparently everyone in the south is made of money, and supposedly we don't mind blowing an extra $50 on a mower that is sold for less everywhere else in the country???

Gotta love the more Ego products online message. All that empty space in the store and Ego parts don't fit.

With the kit I can cut my entire lawn. The battery alone is useless.
