Default Help with prices for tools.
Before I can go back to VCAT I need to put in a compensation claim that includes everything that is at my old house.

I can't remember what we paid for car ramps or the car stands amongst other things that are still there. A price for a bench grinder would be great too.

Could someone that knows or knows of a link that I can go to please post it up?

Thanks,
Nikki.

not sure, but why not jack up the prices a bit? Seems the very least you deserve after all the crap.

I can claim up to $10k and I'm very close to that amount already, if it goes over 10k I have to go to a different court. I'd rather not have to go to 2 different courts it's just going to draw the process out further. :

I'm tipping a trip to Bunnings or Repco might be in order. Don't forget to take a pen and paper.

I need to get this faxed off tonight so that I get a hearing within 2 days (I was only informed of this today and it's taken me ages to try and remember everything as it is), I might see if Repco has prices on their website if I get desperate. :

Someone pass me a valium!!! :

Bench Grinder - $150-250 depending on brand
Stands/ramps - $60-100 for two stands + two ramps.

Thats just a few guesses based on my memory of Super Cheap/Repco/Autobarn/etc

What else?

stands - $40 for 2
Ramps- $60 for 2
that's what i paid, recently. Well the ramps arn't mine..

I've seen bench grinders at Bunning for like $100 from memory, crappy GMC brand, but i think Axeman is on the money with that.

Good luck.

Thanks guys, I came to a grand total of $9591.00, which leaves room for garden tools that I wouldn't have a clue what the price would be.

That total does include the purchase price of the EB.

Oh crap, I forgot about the Picasso!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hihi:

When I read the thread title, I thought you were going to get prices for sledgehammers, picks, other sharp stuff like that. I thought you'd gone off the deep end.

Anyway, as in the other thread, good luck.

Hahaha, as tempting as it's been for us, nope, not yet...

Just like it's tempting to go and put on a smoke show out the front of his house with my car, but I'm not going to... Not yet anyway... :

garden tools (shovels and so forth) are usually starting at around $30 each.

Hehehe, maybe I will once it's running a bit better... maybe... Hehehe... It should be able to put on a good smoke show, being manual and having crap 175/70/R13's on it... :hihi:

But maybe not, after all, burnouts belong on the 1/4 mile, not on the streets... :newangel:

LMAO!

Not quite yet, but not far off.
Do you think they'll be worried that I know what the price of a fuel can is? :

Hrmm bar-b-q anyone?
