Just saw a comment on an Ego Facebook post mentioning that the mower kit is $100 off right now at Home Depot, making it just $399!
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.

FINALLY got a price cut at my local store.
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???

I'm thinking that it is a matter of region selling out a mowers purchased at the higher cost from the manufacturer before they cut the price. FIFO of inventory. What hurts is that you can get a mower with a 4ah battery for almost the same price as a single 7.5ah battery. Yeah, I'm whining, only because I could really use it, but can't afford it.

Yes, you are whining...lol. i am very guilty of the same. Also know you are right. I should not be able to buy an entire mower, battery, and quick charger by adding $20 to the price of a single battery.
With the kit I can cut my entire lawn. The battery alone is useless.
