Just bought a snowblower at the Home Depot in Mentor, OH. It seems that they are having hidden end-of-season markdowns on some snowblowers. I got a MTD Yard-Man 8 hp 24 inch width snowblower which had a tag price of $698, and it rang up for $479. I have no clue if any other snowblowers or Home Depot stores are doing this, but it's worth a check.
