I had a win today win a new battery..........................

Howz about a 'profile' Footy..
Could be interesting reading ??

BTW I've been thinking of putting your name on a Lotto ticket...sure to win bigtime. Maybe we could share the winnings ..But that would spoil your lifestyle :)) (mine too:)

Yes it could I suppose, but I'm not really an "I" person, so I'll get a round to it . :))

The Stockagaent said that the batteries are changed over regularly

I checked with Century and the fella at the other end of the line said that the battery would have been sent out to the agent within the last 3 months. The colour code tab on the top of the battery denotes which quarter they are sent out. But you have to call them to find that out...lol

Matt.

Matt M, Try it with Des Lexi Lucy and Dummy and you'll overload your brand new quad core processor hahahahah

Stephen,
Just a small comment in reply to yours:

It appears that you were encouraging Willem to screw the firm he dealt with, but you wouldn't do it yourself with your Hilux battery.

I have never met Willem but, from reading his posts on here, he strikes me as a fair and honest guy with ethics.

Just my thoughts

Disco.

Yes, Willie is a fair and honest "bloke" (Willie ain't no "guy".... hahaha).

However, I must say that if I had found myself in that position, I wouldn't have prompted the salesperson to check the price. Maybe I'm not such a "fair and honest bloke", but I believe in free trade. You can do no better (IMHO) than ask what the price is (ONCE ONLY) and then either agree to pay that price or walk away. I NEVER haggle over a price.... I will ask what the price is and then take it or leave it.

I hate having it done to me, so I wouldn't do it to anybody else.

If a salesperson tells me a price that I think is VERY good, then I will accept it at face value and close the deal asap (before they decide to change their mind).

Bloodie bank managers can change the interest rate whenever they like though!

Hi Disco, was just stiring Willem up thats all. If I want a good price I will ring around first get the best price go to that place hand over the cash and walk out no problems. If I dont like the price over the phone then I dont go there simple. In Willem's case he wasnt really in a place/town that there was a wide range of suppliers. If I thought that a price sounded cheap and was happy with it with out ringing around first I would have just payed and walked, by him double checking cost him more. Is this classed as screwing the owner ??? I would say no, had he paid $115 without asking to double check neither Willem himself or the owner would have realised that the price was wrong. As far as the hilux battery goes I still have the old battery out of it but I new it wasn't spinning the starter over as quick as it used to. So I wouldnt get cought out with a flat battery and knowing the battery was 5 years old I replaced it. I still have used the old battery since for different things and I keep it charged reguarly. I could have put it back in the hilux and kept the good one but I wouldnt have liked the bloke to get back half way to Bega pull up some where and he couldnt start it again. I got top dollar for the hilux so wasnt going to do that to some one. Has it been done to me before when buying a used vehicle bloody oath did it p iss me off when cought with a flat battery hours after driving off you betcha. As Roachie has stated " If a salesperson tells me a price that I think is VERY good, then I will accept it at face value and close the deal asap (before they decide to change their mind). Regards Steve M

I live in a small community and it is best to stay on good terms with most people....lol

All except the mechanic, that is. (ROFLMAO x20 Willem)

It may be related to the huge price increase on lead flashing used in the building industry.

I think that goes for most metals especially copper Ian. Michael
