The deals playbook
- Set your target model from our price index BEFORE the sale — 'was/now' pricing is measured against inflated RRPs
- EOFY + Black Friday carry the deepest trade-tier cuts; Father's Day owns the hobby tier
- Lasers and industrial machines negotiate year-round — ring suppliers; they rarely 'sale'
- Quotes beat sales: three suppliers competing offline beats one retailer's 'deal'
- Check the kit: 'free' trolleys and regulators are where value hides at sale time
Never buy on discount alone
A discounted machine from a brand without Australian service is full price for a future paperweight. Every recommendation on this site weights service reality equally with price — a sale doesn't change that maths.
