If you have a Home Depot Expo center, check it out if its closing

[MikeMike]

they are closing 15 of the 54 of them. normally 99% of the things there are WELL overpriced. but they may be having closeouts on the items, such as the 40" plasma tv hottub. that would be cool. but just watch for some good prices, but seriously shop comparatively, their normal prices were about 2x what the store my dad manages sells stuff for (plumbing wholesaler).

How is a Home Depot Expo Center different from a regular Home Depot?

Expo is mainly on display items, mainly its JUST things you use in your house such as toilets, sinks, hottubs, couches, what not, NOTHING in terms of plywood, or what not. its like a massive showroom with overpriced nice items.

Expo is where the glitsy stuff is. If you want a faucet that is $40 you go to Depot. If you want one that is platnum and gold plated you go to Expo and pay $4,000.

Expo is made for the upper middle class, and high middle class. At Depot you can get a damn nice kitchen for $8-10k. At Expo they start at 40k and go into the hundreds. Hell the one in Naperville used to have a $80,000 chandaller on display as soon as you walk in the front door right next to a 80k kitchen, complete with titanium wall tiles.

yea, but if you go to Expo, you can then go to your local wholesaler, and buy the same stuff and make that 80K kitchen become 50K, i kid you not.

Not quite that low, but you are basicly correct. But remember, that is how wholsale works. Boy low, sell for as much as possible. Best Buy has no problem selling thousands of printer cables for $24.99 when at a wholesaler they cost at most a buck.
