$160+ ~$100 shipping. Listed as refurbished but they are phasing out the "us general" brand so could just be clearing out old stock. Apparently these are made by belaire and are supposed to be pretty good. Some good reviews and some bad but at this price it's probably worth the risk.
Hmmm..wonder if any in store.
Wow, that's a lot of compressor for dirt cheap.

Looks like they have to be shipped.
Has anyone actually used one of these? I was about to pull the trigger on one at Lowes, but this is far far far cheaper.
Well I just bought one. I'll keep the hive updated.
Checked my local store and they don't have any. I also read this on the slickdeals site:
"The compressor is made in the USA by Bel Air (same as 216V). The 216V sells for $1000+ and gets 4.5 stars. The pump is made in Europe (B4900), the motor in Mexico and the tanks In the USA."
$272 with taxes.
Hope I get one! thanks for the heads up
That too cheap to pass up.
I ordered one for the office.
good luck on this getting fulfilled. worth a shot.
Just after I bought a 26 gallon...
I have the 80 Gallon 7.5hp version that they discontinued a while back. Had it for 5 years now with no issues. Has a Baldor motor and the pump is an American brand (can't remember which one).
I'd say this was well worth it. I think I payed a little under a grand for mine.
Here's a thread on GJ about them. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56058
I couldn't resist and ordered one. Not what I need right now, but too good to pass up.
Tempting. Has anyone gotten a shipment notice or tracking?
In reply to Scooter:
I have not received a shipment notice, nor have they charged my card. Checking the website, it does show a shipment number, but that's it.
Back up to $639, or else I'm doing something wrong.
Site says deal expired. Hopefully it was really true.
I just got an email with the subject of "order number has shipped" but the body of the email says it's on backorder, so I'm going to stay hopeful
I got the same email.
We shall see.

At that price I'd order one for the kitchen.
It seems like things are moving forward. I just got a call from Harbor Freight verifying the order and the charge amount.
Dang. I wish I had ordered one.
And another Email received.

RE: Order #: **
In reply to Toyman01:
Got that email just now. I'm a little jealous you got a call though, sounds like you might wind up with one.
Just got an email stating my order was cancelled due to the item no longer being available. Dangit! A bit too late on the order button.
You'll need to log in to post.
