I have the idea in my head I would like to buy a snow blower for use around my house. Up until now I have done the shoveling, and the PITA value has become about equal, shovel vs. get out and start up a snow blower.
The site sponsor is offering a 27" 11.5hp Chinese snow blower. It would seem it would take about $550 + $55 (auction fee) + $265 (shipping) + 14% (Group S?? Tax), or $990.
I can waltz down the street and buy a Yardworks 26" 10hp for $1099 + $154 (GST), or $1253.
A money difference of $263.
For $263 I get a warranty worth something, a supply of parts locally (not at the end of a 2 week wait), immediate ownership, and a kick back of 5% ($55 Canadian Tire). So, really the difference is $208.
No competition.
