Was in lowes tonight to buy a simple fridge with a plan to price match to best buy. They had a $3,000 Samsung bought, returned, and the ice maker repaired for just $750. I bought it and scheduled delivery for tomorrow and then started looking into Shabbos.
Nisht poshut. Seems there is some magnet trick to shut off the light but you have to remember todo it every week and can't just leave the light unscrewed like I have it now.
I gave up and returned it

for the fridge

for Shabbos kodesh

Target is selling things on E-bay that you could buy on their site for the same price. What's the chuchma in that?

To get someone who is shopping on ebay to buy from them???

Moes Tavern · « **Reply #186 on:** November 13, 2013, 03:41:48 PM »

Yeah, but obviously they are making less money on the deal because they have to pay a percentage of the sale to Ebay.

Yes, but there are people on Ebay who wouldn't go to target.com so they are attracting more market.

I just read that only 106k people signed up for obamacare.

That I get, But there should be a price difference that somehow pushes people to look at Target.com. I think its silly that they are losing money on Ebay

Correction, more then 106K have either purchased a plan or put a plan in their cart but haven't actually paid for it yet!

Oh hold with KE to get a quote for JFK-ICN-TLV in F.

Agent finds space, I ask how many miles.

Says he will check, silence for a few minutes, followed by a "What the hell?!?"

Now on hold...

Came back and said he will call me back within 30 minutes.

Why would it not be available?
Prob will be a whopping 160K each way though.

meshugener · « **Reply #194 on:** November 14, 2013, 09:53:59 AM »

I have no idea.

Let's wait & see what happens when/if he calls you back.

Dan · « **Reply #195 on:** November 14, 2013, 09:58:24 AM »

He just called back.
Apologized 20 times.

It is available, 160K as I expected. Plus $450 tax/YQ.
Direct match with KVS A class.
ITA priced it as $14,574.30.

Anyone try booking KE to TLV with AS, DL, or FB?

meshugener · « **Reply #196 on:** November 14, 2013, 10:04:38 AM »

First of all, do they release F to partners? I don't think so.

Would you mind sharing itinerary details? Total hours in transit, length of connection, etc.

Also, 160k is RT?

No F to AS or DL, dunno about FB offhand.
But J is still a good option.

160 each way

For a trip of 37 hours which could be done in 11 hours, you'd want them to be 100% in F.

Heh, true that.
More useful from LAX where the flight times to TLV is much longer than ex-NYC TATL and shorter than ex-NYC TPAC.
