This is a very limited offer and items probably will go quick.

Interesting method to sell them, they have them listed on the website, but you have to go to a dealer to have them order it for you from Festool? I might have pulled a trigger on a new sander if I could just whip out my credit card, but the process removes much of the benefit, and I wonder if my 'dealers' will not what the deal is, how to order, etc, etc.
Why...oh WHY did you post this. The CC is a little lighter if the order goes in when the order 'opens' on Feb 1st.

The dealer I talked to said it was almost like a lottery, he was planning on submitting his order at 12:00:01 on Feb 1 to hopefully get it. If he does great, he was not charging till after he got his order confirmation.
I spent about 15 min discussing with Tom, a dealer from Texas. What he told me, it says at the top of the page on the Festool page, that this was an offer for February. The info that was sent to the dealers said that it was first come first served starting Feb 1. So at this time the dealers are just posturing their order lists. Once the calendar flips to Feb, they are going to melt down the festool order system with orders it seems. [SIZE=-1]The deal was free shipping drop shipped from Festool warehouse. It looks like they didn't announce this too well, as there are a lot of questions about the deal.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]So that you didn't get a confirmation probably means that the dealer took the order and is sitting on it till the 1st. [/SIZE]

Festool-claus stopped by my house last night with 3 big festool boxes...
A TS75 saw and a ETS150/3 sander from this deal. I got the 20% off tools which were supposed to be the worst condition ones, and I could not tell any difference from new with the exception of what would be typical of one use of the tool, a little saw dust/etc, all the accessories looked new/replaced.
My gloatage from yesteday was the 20% off variety as well and the only thing I noticed was the vac had al ittle dust on it but no scratches or anything of that nature. Very pleased with mine as well.
Friday. I'm pretty Matt, maybe you should call your dealer and be the "bugaboo". I was nervous on mine as well but got shipping confirmation last happy so far. Now where did my wallet go:dontknow:
