A month back I was searching for a decent 5 tonne bottle jack and the Japanese Masada jacks are amongst the best. I did a bit of web surfing to find some prices and finally popped in to Coventrys here in Rockingham (
Perth) to
check thier prices.
They wanted $210.00 for a 5 tonne Masada bottle jack!!
I went back on eBay and bought a brand spanking new one for $105.00 plus $15.00 postage from Eastern States. Total = $120.00
A week before Christmas & I'm back in Coventrys for some cheapo windscreen reflective covers and what do I spy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
A 5 tonne Masada bottle jack on special for $110.00 !!!!
I had a word with the manager and asked if he'd ever thought how I would have felt if I'd have paid $210.00 for one only 10 days prior. I was distinctly unimpressed. I told him I would prolly have used it smash his
shop window in!!
That level of profit margin is legal theft!!
