12 gauge 100' extension cord at Costco for $40

[DanR]

I was shocked at the price for heavy extension cords yesterday and happened to be in Costco this morning. They have a 100' 12 gauge cord for $40.

Holy Cow, that's a great price! I was looking at one in a different store earlier for over twice that amount.

Just wish that I were a member....

No kidding ? - wow that's a awesome price for 12 guage - I'm sure others would be interested... maybe think about a group buy? for non-costco members

Thanks

That is a great price.

Anyone here a Costco member?

I am a member as of last weekend. More than willing to help out, but I am in Wilmington. Seems most of you are from the west. But I will be in Charlotte for New Years Eve. Let me know if I can help.

I am flying out in the morning, but will be back on Friday. I can head over there on Saturday and pick some up (I live in Hillsborough).

 

[scsmith42]

Dan (and Brad), thanks for the offer.

Dan, if you get a chance, why don't you find out who will commit to purchasing a cord, and then on Saturday you'll know how many to purchase (as well as have folks committed to buy). Go ahead and put me down for 2 cords please!

Maybe we can do a meetup for lunch one day next week, or pick a spot near you such as Woodworkers Supply to meet up the weekend after you pick up the cords?:

Will do.

Scott, how about I meet you at your place, I am planning to buy some QS Oak from you. I just have to calculate the amount first, I will PM you in a bit when I figure it out.

Anyone else who wants cords please post here. I live close enough to the Durham Costco and will pick up a bunch.

Dan, that's fine with me. Matter of fact, if anybody else jumps in they can pick up their cord here as well.

Folks - this is about 1/2 price for a 12/3 cord. If you don't need one that long you can cut into 50 foot sections, add a couple of $5.00 ends, and have two fifty-footers for 50 bucks. All in all a great price.

Which Costco were these seen in? I would HIGHLY recommend that you check with the particular store before you assume it has the cords. The Costco's often do not carry the same thing from store to store. ( I learned this when trying to pick up some Enloop batteries)

Well, they have them in the Raleigh Costco. Wife picked one up for me today. Cannot find it on Costco website, but this is it: http://www.amazon.com/Prime-Outdoor...AM10/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323229856&sr=8-1

Dan,

If you are taking orders, I'd love to get my hands on two (2), if they are carried by your local store. I had my Dad stop by the one in Greensboro last night, (he's a member), and they didn't carry them.

I owe Scott a visit anyway!:gar-Bi

If it proves to be a hassle, no hard feelings at all. Thanks.

 

[DanR]

Sorry, I saw the in the Durham store. I figured they all had the same stuff. When I was there Monday they had a bunch (probably 100+) on the shelf. I will be back in town on Saturday and go there.

 

[bluthart]

I would definately take one if you can help get it to Charlotte. (Brad4est) Just let me know what I need to do. Thanks for the offer.

 

[charlessenf]

Check your Flea Markets for plug and socket "ends" as I've found them (Yellow) regularly for $1 each!

 

[DanR]

I just got back from Costco in Durham. I got five, two each for Scott and Heath. There were only six left when I was done. They are near the fake Christmas trees in the center of the store if anyone else is looking for them.

 

[HMH]

Wow - Thanks Dan :icon_cheers

PM Sent!

Folks that live too far from a Costco might consider monoprice.com. I buy cables from them all the time for networking and high def TV.

Here are their extension cords:

If I hang a TV in my shop I will get one of these mounts:

Waiting for floor installation and I'll be hanging one of those brackets with a 55" LED :gar-Bi
I also bought 2 35' HDMI cables and a 50' subwoofer cable. They have great quality and prices along with fast service.
