My guess is they had 6% sales tax and she rounded down on the output.

1: This girl seems cool.

2: BATTERIES ARE $220 NOW?!?!

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 53 minutes ago)

Went to check if they were cheaper at Walmart, found they were 70-140 for a normal lead acid battery.

It popped up with an ad asking me to do a free month trial of Walmart+ or what not. I was like why would I want this. And the FIRST line wasn't about free delivery, cheaper gas prices or some shit, it was 25% percent off Burger King daily. (Guessing they say daily so you don't stand outside and give everyone 25% off on the drive thru.). But still... Why the fuck is fast food charging so much that they can afford to throw another 25% to Walmart.

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

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 4 points 12 hours ago

Just go to Walmart lol there's always like 100 free ones in the parking lot

Just need a crowbar and you're golden

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

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.

[-] ifItWasUpToMe@lemmy.ca 4 points 16 hours ago

270k checking in, factory battery

[-] greenhorn@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day 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.

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

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago

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

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

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 7 points 1 day ago

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

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

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 19 hours ago

Oh yeah, I like this hypothesis

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 50 points 1 day ago

Is that with sales tax included?

220 x 99 = 21,780

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
