I looked at a stove at Home Depot the other day. I was ready to buy
one. They have "free" delivery and they carry away the existing
stove.

The stove I was looking at was around 600 bucks. The "free" delivery
was a gift card that you had to use in the store.

Then they wanted to charge me another 15 bucks for the cord. I
said...why can't you use the one that is on the existing stove.

They said it would void the warrantee. I walked out.

Now what are you going to do? Go to a store that charges $15 more for
the stove but includes the cord "free?"

They're not going to use your old cord for the obvious liability
concerns that it might generate, and a new $15 cord for a new stove
isn't much of a ripoff plan.

Are you sure you even need a cord? You might have enough wire to
connect straight to the terminal block. As installations go, stoves
are pretty straightforward.

go online they have better deals, usualy the first of the month, print
or photo the deal on your camera phone, you might find it for 10%
less. you can negotiate and not take a card.

That's standard procedure where I live in CA. They will not re-use an
old cord on appliances when they're installing, but if it voids the
warranty when you do it yourself, I wouldn't take a chance, though it
is annoying.
