Thread: Gloat ...

  1. #1

    Talking Gloat ...

    Yet an other danish special gloat....

    I the value of the us $ i denmark is at an alltime low. so i went ahead at ordered all kinds of things from leeVally.. 300$ worth, shipping at some 75$

    then there is Customs and danish tax... usually + 10% +25%

    But somehow my package slipped around customs and i got i without paying tax and customs...

    And the Technatool parts where extra cheap...

    130mm jaws, faceplate ring 100mm, veritas camber roller, and a complete Beall Buff kit with all the bells and whistles, goble and bowl buffs. And most important the Beall Hardword Spindel tap M33 3,5... and some sandig disks and other nick nacks...

    This would have cost me (if i could bye thees items in denmark at all)
    from danish vendors: somewhere around 1200$

    Im doing my victorydanse LOL

    I just had to share the Joy.........

    Great gloat Rasmus, I think. We need picture proof, to be sure.

    Yea, just because you're on the other side of that big puddle doesn't exempt you from providing pictorial proof of your (glorious) gloat! (Congrats anyway...)

    Hi, again, Rasmus:
    That appears to be the same box my Beall buff set came in, and it had three buffs in it. Or did you mean the set with all three buffs on a single shaft as opposed to individually mounted buffs?

    Hi Rasmus,

    Well good for you.
    Is that a tap for taping wood I see in your photo. If it is, will you take a photo of it and post it hear so the folks asking about the same will know what one looks like.

    Thanks, Bill.>>>>>>>>>>>>
