Thought for sure this was a Dull Men's Club post

1: This girl seems cool.

2: BATTERIES ARE $220 NOW?!?!

[–] Kvoth@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Don't ever buy batteries from an auto parts store. Find a hole in the wall hardware store or a rural king or something like that and you'll get them way cheaper

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

To be fair, they seem to be better than they used to. My car hit 200k not too long ago and still has its original battery. I have no problems with it but I remember having much newer batteries where it was a gamble on cold mornings if it would start. Purely anecdotal though.

[–] greenhorn@lemm.ee 7 points 21 hours ago

My car has 130k and I keep wondering when the battery is going to die, because when I was younger they didn't last this long and I just kinda forgot about it until it occurred to me recently.

Just paid 350 canuck bucks for an AGM battery for a regular old RAV4.

Is that with sales tax included?

220 x 99 = 21,780

[–] Jayve@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

5.6% sales tax?

The price per battery goes up if you buy in bulk? WTF?

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

This is probably some US nonsense where the battery was $220 without tax, and the value at the register for the 99 batteries was with tax.

Needless to say: 🤢

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Or OP meant to say one was $230 and 99 was $22,000.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I like this train of thought, but 99 x 230 = 22,770

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The unstated premise being that $22,000 is discounted from $22,770 or OP just remembered the first two digits.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Oh yeah, I like this hypothesis

[–] HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 75 points 1 day ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Wait that’s more expensive per unit than one. Ya gotta throw a dog a bone in bulk.

She’s seems cool tho

I did something similar in the early '90s, but it was a carved wooden eagle at Busch Gardens. When I hit the sub total button the P.O.S. system for the whole park crashed because it was around a million dollars. lmao
