Why so Expensive?

[BushBoy]

Hi,
my dads donaldson snorkel pre filter broke a while ago, so he was looking at getting a scoop replacement,
problem was they were about 70 or 80 dollars, so he didn't get one
he been going without one for 6 months now
why is a molded piece of plastic so expensive?
its rediculous

cheers

[spazbot]

becuase they are a common part to replace, ppl like to goto car parks and shopping cetners and get them , so the parts places charge a arm and a leg for em
try a wreckers

How much is the complete snorkel worth? $400-500? $70 for the ram is cheap... How much were you expecting?

If you dont want it, dont pay! Supply and demand...

Been at hospital for 2 days with wife, anyone who has been stuck in one of them places for 2 days is allowed to kill the first 3 people they see....

is the bub ok?

yea still ok, but doing weird things, Tunneling into the wall of the Uterus or the baby motel what ever that is, causing some bleeding.. She woke up screaming that she was bleeding the other night, fuck I nearly went thru the ceiling fan.. .

Up to hospital, they said theres nothing wrong, usual story to free up a bed...

Dr Admitted her Saturday Morning for More ultrasounds, theres still a heart beat and shit, so yea all ok, just shit scared myself at the moment, specially when you hear shit like this - Mother gives birth in corridor, left with dying baby

Na no need to worry, thanks, you can sell it, just was wondering why plastic has such a high price tag.

You can buy Donaldson Air Rams as Well as pre cleaners from truck accessory places quite cheaply. I have bought 2 from QLD diesel spares for $30 each.
