Well, there I was.....
...in the local Festool shop, drooling over my boxed Kapex. Telling Dale I wouldn't be able to pick it up until tomorrow when I was distracted by a very perty, what I thought was a C22 dusty. I says, Dale, is that a C22. No he says, maaate (that's how he actuarily says mate) thats the C33. I says its a big mother. He says its got a hose garage on top
. Heres a C22 he says pointing behind me. How much cheaper is it than that big wet n dry I'm gettin? asks I. Oh, he says about 600 bucks dearer! Bugger I says. "But", says Dale, "Its the shop demo and its yours for 450 bucks if you're interested. What's wrong with it I said, Nuthin says Dale just gonna use a newer one for demos, just a few dings and scratches but everything as as good as new Heppac filter (low allergy thingo ?) and bags and hoses and a little thingy that attaches things to other things which I'll work out when I get it. Much better that the other one you're gettin! 'll suck the head off a Crownie at 50 paces. SOLD!! says I. So, at the end of the deal I get a spanking new Kapex AND C22 in very good condition for 2190 bucks.
Something good came my way for a bloody change. Now, guys is that a good deal or is that a good deal.
PS: My share of the broken marriage came today. Hence the happy outlook.Last edited by Shedhand; 20th May 2009 at 09:10 PM. Reason: added a PS.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Yeah, almost makes up for missing out on the demo Kapex amonth ago (went in a week late) which went for a neat grand.

Well done!
Right time, right place.

Nah mate, I was lucky! Originally Posted by Lignum

She got 90% PLUS all my Super (which I gave her out of the kindness of my allegedly hard-heart). Of course I got to keep my guitars and all my tool p*rn, novels and collection of Hawks member scarves.
The only extra I got was that my lawyer didn't charge me a cracker. Not even for running my money through his trust account. I think the guy's half mad.
I tell you mate when I take my swan dive I'm coming back as a rock - on - the beach...maybe not...crabs. A rock in the forest then....for a damn greeny to trip over....

It brings a grin ear to ear when you win on a good buy after you try and forget that it cost many a pretty penny, but you are still happy none the less. And then I get further down and read on and I think, "Strewth"
But it read as a happy ending so
(did you get those Unilifts? )
