I've seen mention of Harvey bandsaw prices and their constant variation, presentation as 'on sale', etc. I'm interested in one of those, am bombarded by emails from them touting must-see deals and prices, so I've watched the prices over that last few weeks. Here are the posted prices by date (I'm having a bit of trouble with the formatting: the site puts it in two columns, page-wide):

And a plot of prices vs. date, plotted below. The two lowest prices account for advertised 5% discount for first purchases; the high price, who knows?; the $150 jump today is because the $180 guide attachment is now 'standard' and included. Anyway, for me no rush: the price is $2250 plus or minus $50.

You must be an engineer! In any case, it looks like the best time to buy is the last two days of any month. They must be sales quota driven.

Worst time to buy- highest variability because of that Aug 31st value! Anyway, I admire the effort you have put in here.

Thanks for posting this. I've often wondered about their pricing given all the emails they send.

I have a Harvey that I bought around Thanksgiving when they ran a good "only selling 3 at this price" sale. It wasn't really Black Friday but pretty close. Their pricing is weird so set your price point and continue to watch the emails!

Thanks for the post, I love this kind of thing. The hunt is half the fun of buying something. Crazy, I knew they were up and down, but this is like gas prices.
