If you can't spell it, don't buy it!

 

RRP (Recommended Retail Price) $10,499

 

Lucky for me, I have owned several 'Huskies' before and can speak Swedish as well as the next guy. This particular Husqvarna was one of two of the same model cluttering up the showroom at Industrial Replacements, and I was able to buy it for $7,950.00. Not that they sold it to me at a loss, so you can only image how huge the profit margin is on the full RRP.

 

I have attached their invoice just in case you feel like paying for it. 😀

 

Delivery should be sometime tomorrow, by which time I hope to have recovered some of the money on the share market. Not that today was much of a day, as my BHP shares are down by $1.25 apiece. But that's all right, too, as they are a wonderful cash cow. As the saying goes, "A cow for her milk, a stock for her dividend". I had put a SELL-order on my lithium shares LTR at $2.49 before we left home. I missed selling them by one cent. The sharemarket giveth and the sharemarket taketh away.

It's going to be a busy weekend going up and down my seven acres, trying to tame the grass that's been allowed to grow long and thick.
