Safety in Showering Bath Extender for Sale

Marylou from Melville

Have you family members who, although able to cope by themselves, have some difficulty showering over a bath though not needing assistance?
Altering a bathroom to accommodate a walk-in shower, as we now have done, is a costly business and the area may not be suitable. We purchased this bath extender with the idea of replacing our upstairs spa bath but the contour of the bath base was not suitable. Of course,
we had to construct it to find that out!
I used one of these in our downstairs normal bath after I had broken my hip in an outside accident. It was invaluable. I felt extremely safe showering by myself and I am an octogenarian.
I am asking $100. I paid $139 and a very similar one at a large store is $199. There is a 15-year guarantee. The back can be removed, if necessary, for transporting.
Please phone me on 843 4421 or message me. Thanks.

My best friend in Auckland has cancer and he is trying to get rid of few things, including this Angle Grinder.
I don't understand about those things and I need help to figure out how much he should ask for it.
He cant remember the exact amount he spent on this Grinder, plus extra disks and something else I don't know its name. (As per photos).. But he believes he payed nearly $700 (or just over) about 6 years ago and has only used ONCE.
How much do you think we can ask for it?
Thanks in advance.
