Optima Batteries for SALE

Post by r1cer4l1fe »

Hey

I have two Optima Batteries for sale.

A red top and a yellow top.

If you know anything about batteries, you know that these are top of the line. They are powerful enough to start a semi and are used for top line stereos for there reseve capacity and deep cycling abilities. They can be installed anywhere in the vehicle (even on its side) and they wont leak/spill fluid or gasses.


For the red top Im asking 150

and the yellow top 200.
Open to Offers on both.

All info for these batteries can be found at

http://www.optimabatteries.com/publish/optima/americas0/en/config/product_info/automotive.html

I originally bought these from where I worked for a project Crx I was planning on building a few months ago, but now Ive decided against it. They are able to be warrantied from the date code stamped at any interstate or johnson controls product dealer.
These are a really good deal since I originally bouth the Yellow Top for 250 and the Red Top for 190 before taxes.

For any other info or offers please feel free to get ahold of me at etmatties@hotmail.com.

Willing to do trades plus possibly cash for a tippman a-5 marker.


Thanks

First off I do hope you are literate enough though to notice that I am open to offers.

Secondly, Dont know how I got screwed. Was paying dealer cost. The List was 3 somthing for the yellow and 240ish for red before taxes. There is a difference also in the batteries picked up at, say costco,than from an actual johnson control dealer. The ratings are the major factor in price difference. You can get the lower rated optima knockoffs for around 240ish i think.

As for the price difference from canada and us, there is a thing called "exchange rate" and "duty". But hey, thanks for flaming. Be sure to come out again soon.

Well it came off as extreme sarcasim. Hard to tell with a keyboard, but if that wasnt the intention then i apologize.


Alight both yellow tops are now sold. I am dropping the red top to 110. Want it gone. You cant even get a decent regular battery for that much with tax, let alone a top of the line one.

Hit me up at etmatties@hotmail.com


Thanks
