Thread: World's best sale

Wow - a polemic stance from polemic.

But hey - $25 is $25.

Should cover the cost to get it home - shouldn't it?

Don't be so droll.

I'm buying 2 so I can save $50.

Don't forget the 2 FREE Roller Stands That doubles the saving

Wow 0.75% makes Lie Nielsen's bundles extremely good deals.

Buy 1 chisel for $70 but if you buy a set of 5 you pay $340. That is a massive 2.9% discount
Wait there is more. Buy 3 planes for $895 and save 3.5%

You would be stupid to buy just 1 chisel or just 1 plane.

Great. Didn't want any now I'll have 4 of the damn things...

In looking at a few web sites, I get the impression that the planer / thickness is being phased out. A couple of web sites list it as being out of stock.

When I was looking for my planer / thickness, the Euro style blade safety cover appeared to be (as Yanks would say) a PITA so I went with a Grizzly which also was about $1000 less.

BTW - The US price is listed at $2245 and $3365 with spherical head and Carbatec lists two bargains. The planer / thickness alone and WITHOUT the spherical head at $2399 and $3299 with the spherical cutter head. The exchange rate is $1.00AD to $0.97USD.

That's a massive price reduction of 0.75%!!!! No not 75%, not even 7.5%. A whopping great 0.75%!!

With those sorts of savings you should pick yourself up a bandsaw while you're there.

Good job retailing isn't in trouble in this country.

Wow, I can't wait till they open Saturday morning, I'll buy five, this has to be the best deal in history, no wonder I buy overseas on the internet.

We are so lucky that it costs so much.
otherwise 0.75% (or .0075 of the cost) would amount to such a small amount the rounding would bring it back up to the original price anyway.

Do I detect an ounce of sarcasm in this thread?

Nope - no sarcasm here.

So do they plan on going back up in price after the sale??

If they just said its a price drop and it was staying there we would have been happier and said nothing.

But as a sale price and to then have it go up after the sale!!

Maybe Carbatech have been listening to SWMBO who figures the discount is immaterial as long a it is a SALE.
