Have you found a bargain - 2017 version
« on: January 02, 2017, 05:09:51 PM »
There was a 2016 version of this thread, but I thought I'd better start one for the new year.

I just picked up a spare wheel lift kit for my Pajero for $80.  The guy bought it for $125, but never used it because he decided to update to a 200 series.

Happy new year (and many bargains) to all.  :cheers:

Cheapest I've ever seen them:

It is showing nil online stock, but you may be lucky to find one in a store. There was one in my local today when I nearly fell over the price

i have been buying my eneloop AA & AAA batteries from this site (based in the Netherlands):

AA - https://ru.nkon.nl/rechargeable/aa-size.html

AAA - https://ru.nkon.nl/rechargeable/aaa-size.html


pricing plus postage (when converted from EURO) is very competitive.

postage takes a little while, but have ordered multiple items from these guys now with no issues.

Interesting... when I search ebay for IDC25 dc-dc charger it doesn't come up when sorting by price... its in the second section of the search..

but 268 is next cheapest, so hope they are genuine!!

Checked the link, takes me straight to the page. Just rang them, it is real, 30 were available, special ebay price but finishes today. Didn't ask their normal price. Doesn't show up on their web site pages but are having them updated. Seller name on ebay  is 4wd-systems

Listed now as $234 + $15 delivery, but got $20 off with THANKS20 ebay discount, so $229.00 all up.

Hurry only two left after I got mine.

2 nights for 2 people at Ballina Beach Village - usual price appears to be $70, 2 people, 2 nights unpowered & offer is for $49 so a bit of a discount.

I think various Swaggers have been there before - worth it?

Bunnings Shepparton today  - Cheetah brand 16" mower for $135  :cup:

I'm sick of the electric mower that I have so it was an easy purchase. Instruction books have Briggs and Stratton branding on the back, so must be a yum cha one from them
