Have you found a bargain - 2017 version

[DrewXT]

Ebay and Gumtree have gone nuts with second hand prices, but garage sales are usually good value. I bought a Ridge Ryder kayak with paddle, in really good nick, for $80.00 last weekend. Bought it mainly for the grandkids to use when they stay over, but I might use it to chase bream and flatty around as well.

That's a great score... Good honest yaks... Perfect for what you've described

Mitre 10 Easter Catalogue.
Mightn't use it for serious firewood work, but wood be ok for the back of the 4by and camping trips.

You know how you sometimes have these great moments where the Missus comes home (or even better sends you a message) saying "What about this as a deal for _______ that you've been looking at?"

Well, I had one of those days today... We've been looking at fridges, and she decided that there was money in the kitty to get a fridge; this was spurred by seeing a deal in the Autobarn cattledog for a Waeco CFX35 with stand, cover and wifi doofa for $929.

Had a look online, as BCF match prices, and I don't like our local Autobarn, off to BCF we went, with me knowing how much I wanted to pay for things.



Had a look at the fridges, ummed and ah'd a bit and went to head out, but got drawn to the fridge by the door for $999.

Got the old esky out the car to compare sizes; the fridge was a bit taller, but footprint wise almost identical.

Manager was standing by the till and said "If you're looking at that, I'll do another $100 off."

OK, so that's a CFX65 for $899... how much for a cover? Not got any in stock, so I'll order one... and that'll be $50.


So it's the ex-shop floor one, never been powered up, brand new cables (NFI where the original ones were, so a new pair came off the shelf) with full warranty for $949 compared to a retail price of $1549 for the fridge and $160 for the cover...

I'm happy, and having cleaned it up with some cleaning spray it's now as good as new and sitting outside dropping down to nice and cold - been on for 30minutes and is now sitting at 3* after starting at 21*.

Just be aware that Repco's 40%off of CTEK chargers probably equals what you can always get them on eBay for.

always wonder why Ctek units of = amps are so much more expensive compared to Projecta units...

[lincolnland]

nice score...

thats a great deal!

[hempo]

Well done Paddler ed.

i've got a 10 amp projecta and a couple led's have failed and the fan is very loud now, (replaced the fan and it was good for about a month.) that said if i was to buy another i would probably buy another projecta. as mine is 7 years old now and still works, mostly lol

also we have a ctek 15amp at work of about the same age, has been beat to hell also has to charge truck batteries. and still works perfectly.

Found an Oztent RV4, with floor saver, deluxe peaked sides, front and fly in excellent condition on Gumtree for $1200 last night. The best part was it was around the corner from where I was working today. Texted the guy this morning and within half an hour it was on the roof Rack! Might have to take it to Mansfield and try it out!

Bargain JPH

[Troopy_03]

Another garage sale bargain today. An Aussie Bush Kettle for $5.00. The kind that has a funnel up the middle, and you light a small fire with twigs inside the funnel to boil a litre of water in a few minutes.

Like the one in the pic;

50w solar blacket at supercheap. $126 maybe not a bargain but a lot cheaper than full price.

Were $118 last year on sale.

Work well when a better reg is used. Several theads on myswag discussing these blankets.

just looking at that pic, a mates old man has a similar one to that, he now has a bigger one also as the original one wasn't up to the job. We weren't splitting that big of a logs with it either, and if there was a knot in the timber it really struggled.

[scott13april]

Those only work on freshly cut wet wood, and not on the tricky pieces

and if it's like the one I borrowed, you have to heave the log in, then hold two levers (2 hands) and wait about ten seconds for the pisspoor action to take place. Wouldn't even steal one
