Wayne Wholesale

Well, several years ago I was looking for some digital vernier calipers, I figured they would be a great help in the workshop for making my potato launchers. After a lot of driving around Auckland I found some at a trade shop but the price was a bit ridiculous so I went searching online. That quest was nearly as fruitless which surprised me, I didn't think it would be that difficult.

Anyway I managed to find some at an online tool supply store in Christchurch but their feature description was skimpy to say the least, and no product photo meant my buying decision relied on a bit of luck. The calipers that arrived were not quite what I would have bought had I seen them first, but then I wasn't exactly spoiled for choice! But hey, what could the supplier have done better on their website? Put a photo and proper description? Now there's an idea^

So, my experience got me thinking that if it was such a drama for me to find tools online then it would be for others too. Then I made the big decision to buy a carton of digital calipers, and try my luck selling them on TradeMe.
