It's a Buyers' Market Out There

Sure does Went into Hardly Normal on Thursday and wanted a TomTom GO 730 yes they said $549
Said Ok cash got it down to $519. not enough so went next door to Office Jerks where it was $494 but the rather disinterested and smelly shop assitant didnt have one working and wasnt interested in making one do so.

Back to HN said its $494 next door how about it. No prob sold Asked if they price match like Bunnings at %110 within a week.

Yes we will was told.

So went past a JB HI FI on the way round the block. $482 there. round the corner and got another $13.50 off at HN. Pays to be persistent.

Paid for tea anyway. LOL

It's more powerful than my Desktop.

Kiwi, I have a Sony HD video camera and I have bought Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9.

Hullo David,

I think we have twin trucks !! I think I've seen yours around town.

As far as Macs go, my daughter's been trying to get me to convert but for the same money I get twice the RAM, twice the HDD and I had already bought the software which is not compatible with Mac.

So, tempting as it was to change, I stuck with Bill and his convoluted ways.

I'll keep in touch.

Hi Gone Bush

I have seen your picture of your ute. Impressive kit.
I have seen another red ute around but without your lockup. Do you take the lockup off. Also I see you are trying to sell the ute now.

David

David, I've decided not to sell it.

Watervale ceilings have a red ute like ours with an alloy box in the back.

Hi Gone Bush

Good to hear you still like the ute. I am pretty happy with mine, but as I say to friends - if you spent that much you would want to be happy.

Just got back from Broke Inlet fishing at the mouth. Drove in via the fishermans track. The ute loaded with a tray on camper and towing a boat just ate it up.

Great remote place just to chill. Not much fish.

David
