As for customizations, this MarketWatch.com article, when interviewing Buddy, said custom cakes can start at as little as $300 or even as little as $100 if you were to choose a decorated sheet cake.  Also, don’t be surprised if your quote is as high as $5,000 if you were to want a cake that had some mechanical elements.  According to some who did receive a quote, many were quoted anywhere from $12 to $18 per person.  For a consultation, the bakery does charge $100 for a tasting and one-on-one design, but in some cases, this fee can be waived if a coupon is currently available.

How Much Does an Orthofix Bone Stimulator Cost?

Bone stimulators, devices that emit low electric currents, can be employed to help stimulating bone growth and enhance spinal fusion.

Orthofix, a popular bone stimulator manufacturer, has developed three bone stimulators indicated as class III medical devices.

How much does an Orthofix bone growth stimulator cost?

The cost of an Orthofix bone stimulator greatly depends on the brand you’re purchasing.  Refer to our table below to see the average costs:

ModelAverage Price
Spinal-Stim 2212$950+
Physio-Stim 3202$1,000+
4017F$1,000+
3303$800+
2505$1,800+

NOTE:  These costs are for the device only without health insurance.  Do keep in mind that many customers do see inflated charges that insurance companies are often “charged.”  These costs can sometimes be as high as $5,000.  For those who are paying cash for a device, these are the fees you often pay.  Again, these are the fees you will pay for the device only, not the doctor visits, surgeon fees, tests, etc.

The costs of a used version, according to MedWow.com, a global medical equipment platform, had prices ranging from as little as $175 to more than $500+.

We were also able to find a variety of used Orthofix stimulators on Amazon.com for less than $500.




Orthofix bone growth stimulator models

The Orthofix Spinal Stim™ is designed for a spinal fusion and has an overall success rate of 92%. This device is known to provide a 36% increase in the success of lumbar fusion when used as an adjunct during surgery.

The Orthofix Physio-Stim® provides a safer and non-invasive option for treating the fractures that are difficult to heal, according to the company. The overall success rate of Physio-Stim is 80% with higher success rates for the treatment of nonunion fractures. This can be worn either with internal or external fixation.

The Orthofix CervicalStim™ is the only approved adjunctive treatment option for cervical fusions with an overall success rate of 84%. The success rate can be increased by 22% if used adjunctively to a surgical procedure.

New devices come with a one year warranty.

What are the extra costs?

As mentioned, the prices above are estimates for the device only.  When the surgeon fees and other related medical fees are considered, the costs can easily exceed $5,000.

The battery for Orthofix bone stimulators will last only for an average of 10 treatment hours, and according to medical supply retailers, it is highly recommended that the device is charged after each treatment.  The battery is known to last up to a year.

Tips to know

A prescription will be required to purchase a new bone stimulator.  When a doctor writes a prescription, you will provide Orthofix with this prescription to place an order if you were purchasing brand new; however, if you were to purchase used, anyone can do so, but without a prescription, this can be deemed as an illegal activity as it is a prescription-only device.

In order to clean the device, you can’t use any solvents. Just wipe the surfaces with a damp and soft cloth. For cleaning the foam inserts, just use a mild detergent in cold water.

The treatment schedule, when using the device, will depend on what was prescribed by your doctor.  The minimum treatment will depend on the stimulator prescribed.  This can last anywhere from two to four hours, on average.

Orthofix representatives say the average device is good up to 300 uses.  Refer to the manual as it will indicate how many uses it’s capable of handling.

This eBay guide talks about the codes you should look at before purchasing one used as these codes can indicate how often the device has been used.  As mention, if it’s getting close to the end of its life, then it may not make sense to purchase the device used.

How can I save money?

You can save on costs if you purchase used.

Consider selling your device once the treatment is over to recoup the costs you spent in the first place.  However, it is recommended that you keep it in case you need to go through treatment in the future.

Talk with your insurance carrier to see if the device can be covered.  If you’re uninsured or are looking for a new policy, consider browsing hundreds of policies for free at eHealthInsurance.com.  Oftentimes, private insurance and Medicare could cover the costs depending on your circumstances.  Most doctors and/or your insurance company will be able to tell you what’s going to qualify.

How much does a Carefree Boat Club membership cost?

The cost of a Carefree Boat Club membership will greatly depend upon the type of membership you sign up for and the location you sign up at.  From what we researched, the average one-time initiation fee is about $5,500 to $3,500 and the monthly dues for the highest tiered membership will cost close to $350 per month, on average, to remain active at the club.  Some lower-tiered memberships, however, could be as little as $175 a month.  These memberships, unlike the full membership, would only allow you to reserve a boat on a weekday only, for example.

The official company says the costs will depend on the location, local costs, fleet, the membership options and the availability of the membership.

This Boating Magazine article talked about one couple who resided in Maryland, and at their local location, they paid $315 a month, plus fuel, to boat at one of the four waterways available.

One entry on RipoffReport.com claimed they paid $3,500 to join the club and another $350 a month to remain active.

According to one Yelp review for the Washington, D.C. location, a member said his final costs were $385 a month and $2,490 to join.

Carefree Boat Club membership overview

A membership offers unlimited usage of all boats, which, depending on the location, range from 23 to 29 feet long.  Most fleets include water sport boats, fishing boats, pontoons and sailboats, with most being less than three years old, but again, fleet choices will greatly depend on the location you sign up at.  According to the club, there is no limit to how many times you can boat; it’s truly unlimited, and again, depending on the exact geographical location, boats will be available year round.

All members receive free, unlimited training with a USCG certified captain, which includes navigating, docking, anchoring and safety strategies.  The average training session can last up to five hours.

The company covers the insurance, boat purchase, slip fees, maintenance, repairs, taxes, towing, coverage, and winterization.

To reserve a boat, you will simply use an online reservation system, which allows you to boat a boat up to six months in advance.  “Spur of the moment” reservations are also available when speaking with the on-site dock staff.  Company policy indicates that you’re only able to reserve up to four reservations at a time.

Restrictions will apply, but members may be able to keep a boat overnight.

How can I save money?

Depending on your location, you may be able to find a Groupon-like deal for first-time customers.  It doesn’t hurt to look before applying.

Many members, from what we read online, were able to negotiate their initiation fee and monthly dues.  If you feel the price is too high, don’t be afraid to ask for a lower rate.

The club does reward members who commit for more than one year.  If you know you want to stay as a member for longer than 12 months, then it may be wise to commit for up to five years, for instance.

How Much Does a Pet Bat Cost?

To some, owning a pet bat may be an exotic idea; however, these pets are considered to be endangered and are illegal in most states.

Most of the time, if you’re interested in owning a pet bat, you will have to either have a zoo or special rehabilitation license.  Additionally, most bats are protected by many various laws.

How much does a pet bat cost?

A pet bat cost will vary wildly depending on the breed, genealogical history, your location, and your local regulations. Generally, you can expect to pay in the $500 to $1,000 range for the bat itself, but it’s not unusual for the price to be slightly lower or higher.  Finding one, however, can be extremely hard as there are very few breeders worldwide that offer bats for sale.

Fruit bats are the most common breed kept as an exotic pet since they are easier to handle than some of their counterparts.  These bats are about four to five inches long and its wingspan is about one and a half feet.  There are 10 species of fruit bats.

What are the extra costs?

If you really want to invest in bats, you should consider building a conservatory and filling it with several bats to allow them to socialize and mate. This, of course, will raise the costs considerably, but if you want your bats to have a long life, there aren’t many other options.  As they are nocturnal, bats tend to sleep during the day and become quite active at night, flying all over.  To refuse them the right to fly, a large enough cage/area is highly recommended to offer it the flying capabilities it needs.

Since these pets are often hard to acquire, shipping fees may apply if purchased online.

Since bats can carry rabies, albeit rare, vaccinations will be required.

With any pets, be sure to factor in food, accessories and routine/surprise vet visits.  For food, bats will feed on fruit biscuits, supplements and fruit, which can cost about $20 to $30 a month.

To successfully house a bat where legal, permits will be required, which can be an additional cost to budget for.

Tips to know

Bats in the wild can live up to 25 years, but bats in captivity will often die within a few short years because of the stress of being isolated and confined.

Bats are the flying mammals that people associate with vampires and scary movies, but the reality is that most of them are harmless (unless you try and keep one of the bloodsucking varieties as pets). Bats are considered exotic pets, so be sure to check with your local government to verify if you’re even legally eligible to own one.

Bats can carry rabies, so never attempt to capture one from the wild and domesticate it. If you want a pet bat, make sure you purchase it from a licensed breeder who can provide a genealogical and medical history of the animal before bringing it into your home.  Always purchase from a USDA licensed dealer to ensure you’re getting a healthy bat.

Most states ban the average homeowner from having pets as a pet.  Most will require you have a wildlife rehabilitation or zoo license to legally own one.

Some fruit bats can live in groups of more than 100,000.

Pet bats can be extremely hard to take care of; in fact, most pet bats won’t live longer than one year.

Bats can’t be transported without a CDC license.

A bat isn’t a puppy, meaning you won’t be able to pick it up and cuddle with it anytime you wish.  Like most exotic animals, bats hate to be handled and can often bite in a hostile way.

If you really love bats, consider talking with a local wildlife rehabilitator to volunteer and work with them.

Tips to know

The club abides by a strict dress code both on the golf course and in all other areas.

Since Ansley Golf Club is a private golf club, obtaining a membership to the club requires five sponsors before a potential member is approved as mentioned.  These nominations are reviewed by the Committee during a 60 day Club posting period and then forwarded to the Board of Directors monthly.

The nine-hole course has been ranked in the top five nationally by Sports Illustrated in national surveys.

The Settindown Creek course was named the third toughest course in the area by the USGA, as published in the Atlanta Business Chronicle on April 28, 2017.  The course has also been a host to the U.S. Open Sectional Qualifiers and Nike Tour Championship.
