are they tight wads???

 

Everytime I look at the "used but not abused" stuff on this site I see alot of things that have been there a while and just can't believe it's still there.

 

It's not like Ted isn't negotiable

 

I just don't get it,,,,,if Kleen Kuip was over here 3/4's of that stuff would be gone in a week.

Heck, at those prices (even with the $ exchange & shipping) I could unload his stuff in Australia with a not-too-greedy markup & still be doing the 'right thing' by my brother cc'ers.

(& sisters!)

Everyone wants the newest gear to do the work for them.  Soon though, they'll learn that getting the corners, behind doors, scrubing the traffic lanes (at very LEAST) could be accomplished with equipment that's 3 or 4 years old.

Get a NEW vacuum cleaner.  Get a NEW power-head on it. Get the BEST heat & suction you can afford.  If it's second hand... then so be it.

Second hand scrubber's just fine.

Used van's just great.

Throw some new jets on & use a wand that has had other owners.

awww... heck... I've done this rant before... I've also threatened to get a shipping container to Uncle Carpetologist to put all his second hand stuff in.. ship it over here & take the best for myself & sell the rest.

Never mind...

Cheers,

Allen

When you clean in the GTA for less than what a DYS person  can it doesn't leave much money to upgrade.Guitar

Ted would just love for you to send a container to pick all his used machines up and would probably give you a great price if you took it all. Instead of talking "JUST DO IT" I'll even drive to Toronto and lend a hand to load up the container. It's your move now Surroundings, I'm calling your bluff.

I am as confused as the rest of you are. 65 people viewing my 48 Hour Lost Leader Special.

I was selling it at a price that could not be beat Low,Low,Low. Am I crazy for selling it or are the 60 people crazy for not buying it?

Now I won't let this detour me, I will keep the 48 Hour specials going for now unless I go broke doing it.  You Snooze You Loose

Put a glide on that wand in the picture Ted. I am sure the viewers of that add want the latest in fast drying and back saving equipment on any portables they buy.

Most people that come here Ted already have Equipment.... I think you would sell more if you could buy online.  It would mean a little more work for you but I think it would improve your flow of business...

I know I would pick up a few more things if I didn't have to leave the comfort of my chair....

I just want to sit here order and have it shipped to me....

Maybe you should of had a count down clock??? 

Really it hard for me to come to your shop and I live in the GTA... I rush through my days, working picking up kids, servicing vehicles taking care of the house...

This time at my desk is the only relax time I get
