[alfa] Eagle dent puller

[alfacybersite <acs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is mostly geared to Trevor Parkes (750-101) of Melbourne, Australia 
who runs a body repair shop and is trying to locate Eagle.

Wull, turns out not to be all that easy. They, the company, does not 
show up on Google. I have friends flyer with the phone number - 
1-800-585-3294. It seems to ring but no one answers. Meaning I didn't 
get an out of order / service message.

I had Googled Eagle II dent puller before sending in my post and had 
found www.autobodytoolmart.com which Bill Dougherty (AD) was also kind 
enough to send.

On Google Tool Mart lists the unit as $499, but when going to the site, 
it is $549.99. I ran into encryption problems in trying to see what 
would come up when going through the ordering process.

Bottom line since we're near the holidays decided to abuse my credit 
card and called Auto Body Tool Mart - 1-800-382-1200 and got Paco (nice 
guy) Ext. 246 who told me it is a great unit (of course), they are out 
of stock (of course). He feels the company is a Very Small operation and 
get overwhelmed with orders so solve the problem by not answering the 
phone.

They have a dozen firm orders for them in their main Illinois place, but 
have 50 overall orders. Fortunately / unfortunately they have a place in 
CA. The unfortunate part is I now get to pay sales tax. The good part is 
when phoning, the cost is $499. My total will be $558.99 (major cc 
abuse). I'm apparently second on the list in CA. They will not run it 
through until they ship. When I put his feet to the fire, Paco felt I'd 
have the unit within 30 days. Tool Mart has 60 units on order with 10 
going to CA.

Now Mr. Kern (AD): If you care to stop by after it arrives,  I'll charge 
merely $100 per hour for the use of it and throw in the electricity for 
free. What a guy, hunh? Closer than Australia though.
