I just went to HF for blades and was told that they had just ordered 100 blades and that 90 these were being held for a local carpet store. The manager told me that I was the second person that week looking for the blades and he wwas truley amazes. He said "we hardley sell any blades here and all of a sudden we have 3 customers asking for them in aweeks time."
He placed another order and allowed me to have some held in my name, and wheb I picked them up the price had gone up 50 cents on a package. Got a feeling we'll end up with a higher price in the futire. Hope not!
