Mod — Original Receipt. This is a Price Matching deal using price from eTools.net.au to price match at Masters.
I have been looking for the best deal on a Paslode Nail gun, but didn't want to go the grey import ebay route.
Bunnings, Mitre 10 & Masters have the gun priced at around $650-$675 with no negotiation possible.
I then found it on etools on special for $605 + shipping http://www.etools.net.au/index.php?p=product&id=6&parent=12 which in itself is a great price for the gun. So by all means support them, but I wanted to see if I could get it matched with a discount.
Bunnings do not stock the B20540, instead they have the B20540D (same gun, with the addition of dna data dots), so no go there. Mitre 10 flat out refused as the etools price was already below cost. A trip to Masters yielded success. Price Match + 10% on the etools price (they didn't even factor the etools shipping) @ $544.50. This is around the price of the grey import, but includes the proper charger, 2 batteries and the australian wide warranty.
etools list is as a monthly special, so may expire on the 31st.
