    Default I don't want to brag.............

    But I got me a couple of new toy...... I mean tools
    I called into machinery house on an unplanned trip to Melbourne earlier this week, as I walked in the door I was met by this 5 ton arbor press with a stupidly low price tag, so as you can see it came home with me. Then I wamdered out into the new show room and spotted the 'D' Bit Grinder, as you guys know they are around the $1,500 mark. I asked the sales man if he could do a better price and off he went to ask the boss man I assume. He came back and said they would give me the end of financial year price and I walked out with both grinder and press for a total of $1,400 including GST.. Think I did ok.... It just goes to show you MUST ask, because if you don't you pay full price.....

    Thanks for reading this far my friends.
    Matt

    You did well Matt, looks like they paid you to take the Arbor Press away.
    I always ask for the best price possible, if you don't ask, you don't get it!!!!

    Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.
