Quote: I think it's great you can perform miracles on demand
The comment about the short time interval reparing the A/C needs some more information added to be a whole picture. I am not a miracle worker or di-it now person. Far from it IRL.
I had a defective part (O ring seal) that used to cost .10 to .25 cents and went to buy a new one. The parts store said the "O ring" now cost $8.00 so it took me almost 2 weeks to find a small garage that would sell me an O ring from his assortment. I have my assortment of 250 "O rings" that I paid $10.00 but they were the old composition, black neopreme to use with R12 refrigerant. The cars with R134 required the newer green ot blue compesition of rubber/or neopreme? You can buy an assortment of 100 for $25.00
It took longer to repair the A/C than I wanted to because I refuse to be ripped off and pay $8.00 for a .25 cent part. My line of thinking is, the more someone gets away with being a rip-off-artist ( high priced anything including medical care) the more they feel justified in their entitlement to their quick and unjustified financial gains. Am I crazy for bucking the trend?
So to be fair the A/C was not working for 2 weeks and BB was at her limit.
Why do I post this about the A/C. I did not want anyone to be miss led that I preforme on demand. I "usually" take too long to get things done.
RE: theadmill price $950 The health and fitness store's origional price for the treadmill was $1,399. The $1250 price was store's price with their own rebate game they play.
The tread mill? I can smell inflated prices, especially with back-up information gathered from the internet. Sometimes negoating works, sometimes it doesn't.
Set your limits after you have enough facts and stick to your limits. I keep telling myself, "you were not born with a _____________ or treadmill in this case, there are lots around, and anyone can can spend money. The trick is to get value when you do spend.
