Bargain Buys

[paulus 26]

Not very often i feel i have had a great deal when purchasing bits and bobs, But over the last week i have had a couple of what i believe to be great buys, The first was a set of 8 boxed Bluepoint T bar`s. I paid £40 for the set after knocking him down from £50. I have been looking for a set for years but wasn't willing to pay the £40 each that was and is still being asked for them. The next one was a single phase motor with a chuck and a speed controller. mounted on an aluminium base for £20. It came with a wire and bronze wheel and a couple of polishing wheels. Probably made in the 1960`s but still works fine.

Anyone got their eye on any decent black Friday deals?? 

Think my Mrs is going to eventually get an air fryer. She's only been looking at them for the last 2 years!

You could have had all of this as well as a wetsuit, chainsaw, and a generator cheap at half the price had you went to Aldi

Sort of relative to the post ;

I got my Virgin Media bill today and it had gone up by £10 a month from £39 to £49 with no explanation.

I rang them and got to speak to an obviously Asian lady who said all she could do was reduce my monthly bill by £2 !

I said close my account and I’ll go to one of your competitors. She said hold on I’ll transfer you.

I then spoke to a lass from Middlesbrough and she said give me a minute, she came back and said I’ll cancel this months bill, next months bill will be £20 and then £28 a month guaranteed until April ‘26 , how does that sound ? 
Bargain , I said, go ahead !

Moral of this story; don’t accept the first quote !

Cheers.

Virgin are Rob dog b*****ds in every way.

I once got in touch with Richard Branson when a virgin engineer damaged my house , and virgin didn't want to know. Once I got in touch with Richard Branson,  the damage was put right in a couple of days , and they send me a cheque as an apology .
