West Marine deal on Battery
"Harry Krause" wrote in message . .. JimH wrote: "James" wrote in message . .. "JR North" wrote in message ... West Marine has their 650 MCCA starting battery on sale for $39.95. Good deal- Snagged one. They have a $5.00 core charge on your old battery- so bring them one if you buy it. JR I bought one today. I asked if there was a core charge since I didn't have an old battery with me. They said no. It is the 665 MCA that is on sale for $39.95 not the 650 MCA. That is a $30.00 savings. When the salesperson rung up the sale he told me that he got a $1.00 commission on every battery the store sold. I have no idea why he told me that. I picked mine up today and they forgot about the $5 core charge.... ;-) I also picked up 2 gallons of the Interlux epoxy barrier coat paint.......also on sale through next week @ $64.50/gallon. Interlux suggests 5 coats (!!) but I will see how many I will get out of these 2 gallons. Looked at helm seats, pedestals, A/B switches and bimini's..........all things I will be soon buying for the boat. I was also planning on replacing the AM/FM/Cassette stereo but decided on keeping it and buying an Ipod Nano instead, playing the tunes on the stereo via a radio signal device attached to the Ipod. As a side: The Boat/US store in Port Clinton is now a West Marine even though there is another West Marine 1/8 mile north. Strange. No, a few weeks ago, BOAT/US sent out a letter saying its stores were becoming West stores. I knew it was coming but it does not make sense to have 2 stores within 1/8 of a mile of each other. ;-) |

West Marine deal on Battery
Agree, it makes no sense. But, they do the same thing in P'cola on
Barrancas Ave. IMO, the manager of the original WM srore, JR, is far more knowlegeable than the folks at the old B/US store. Electronics are a particular forte of his.

I heard there are two Starbucks somewhere in Texas, that are literally, across the street from each other. Oh well. __ "It's just about going fast...that's all..." http://home.columbus.rr.com/ckg/ |

I knew it was coming but it does not make sense to have 2 stores within 1/8 of a mile of each other. ;-) We have the same thing in Long Island, there are two in the town of Babylon right around the corner from each other, maybe one is actually in West Babylon but they are very close! richforman |
