[QUOTE="Shoedawg, post: 407078, member: 13490"] HOT TIP!! So next time you go into a Lowes or Home Depot, looking for foam board, ask if they have any foam board they are trying to get rid of for a reduced price due from shipping damage. I purchased three 8x10 2" thick foam boards from Lowes at a reduced price of [b]30% OFF[/b] for each board. Here is a picture of the "damage" done by shipping. [ATTACH type="full" alt="image001.jpg"]82425._xfImport[/ATTACH] If you look closely at the edge of the board, you can see what appears to be strap/rachet marks that were produced when the board was getting prep'ed to be shipped. Hell YA I'll take them. I don't care if they are somewhat damaged. They're not even close to being damaged IMO. I'm gonna be cutting them up and stuffing them in my boat, out of sight, anyways. I negotiated with the guy who worked in the area, and said I take them for 30% off. He gladly agreed. He needed to get rid of them out of his inventory. Call around before hand and ask, to save time. I just got lucky and happened to walk into the store not even thinking about this. It was the salesmen who told me about the damaged boards, after I was telling him what they were for. [/QUOTE]
