[papercreters] Re: Sewage Grinder Pump - PC Mixer/Pump

If you calculate the newsstand price of your paper the retail price of
the pump doesn't look so bad. :)
Sorry I didn't have a link to used pump. Try buying a new 'tow-behind'
paperctete mixer and see if you can find one for less than the price of
a new sewage grinder pump.

Unless your time is worth nothing to you... you can buy your paper shredded
from True Value Hardware and rent a cement mixer for a weekend and end
up spending less than doing it all yourself.

I know this is like suggesting you buy your fish frozen instead of
buying a bass boat... :)

Have FUN. Les
