Tell him he's dreaming

Post by cz515 » 29 Dec 2021, 5:53 am

I saw this auction on Graysonline and just went wow. The prices are just crazy. What you think

https://www.grays.com/sale/3020841/engi ... n?spr=true

The 3phase stick welder at $1600 plus GST and commission was the star of the show but how about 600 bucks for a 10mm 3phase roll of wire... used.

I looked into the cable more so it's price after commission is $800 the listing says replacement value is $1000....not bad. But wait there is more

Is 51m long professionally joined. But if you order now I can get you a brand new 100m roll for $1000 from an electric m random electrical supplier, a sparky might get it for lower.


CIC you need that Toshiba photocopier for $1k for your man cave

Used office chairs for $60 each. 6 wall panels for $750. I'm not in the habit of pricing this stuff regularly but figured they are at least new prices

Didn't see any welders for $1600, got Lot Number? Did see an EMF 0 - 250amp for $600 which is a fair price even after commissions. If your on a budget then the cable is still cheap, $200+ in your pocket is better than some random Electrical shops,

The random electrical sold 100m for 1000, this is selling 51m that is spliced abs God knows how many years old (could be 10 or more)

That's the welder... but I also need specsavers, it's actually 600.. so $800 after commission etc
