You could start a business and get a trade account! I bought one 2 weeks ago for around 65 less than that!

Yeah i know they do it for $100 trade! I was hoping someone could just give me their account details or something lolllol, It cost like $200 to get an ABN doesnt it so its not worth it haha. Ohwell, bye bye $165 dammit

You could buy my brand new spare one for $80! I bought it last year when my CAS died, but I never used it as it took too long to get here in the post. Ended up buying one from Bursons.
Its an eBay one. Want it?

Serious??
They don't check up on your trade name in their records or depend on a previous phone call from your workshop to repco??
Was thinking of buying one soon.

Yeh, it works, mate usto do it with getting heads serviced, or just go in "Is that trade?".. most of the time they give it to you no questions asked if you look the part.. just go in saying "your the last place in town! the boss told me to find a CAS ASAP, You HAVE to have one for me right?!" done.

Cool, I'll do that.
I should have done this earlier. I still got my overalls from when I started my apprenticeship so that should take care of that.
Cheers
