I am not the only one and i know it. you dont go into paknsave and take a box of weatbix up to the counter and find out what the price is. or even worse, say you want to pay $1, but they just give you no responce other than to say no. they have that magic $3.60 amount in thier head you just have to keep guessing. Same reason Tender and Auctions I didnt even bother going to the open homes when i brought my last two houses. If you cant tell me the price, i am not interested in doing the spade work for something that has a 50% chance of wasting my time. there are enough deluded people with no idea of real value as it is. mods please shift to rant thread. oh damn i am a mod lol 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just imagining a stuffed up world where you have to ask how much a box of weatbix is, that would not be much fun. The comments have gotten even more entertaining.

The comments have gotten even more entertaining. Have a look at that auction now. 4 people saying they will pay 2000, yet none of them bid that.

LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 I read its about $150k USD for a prius over there right then again the average income is $120k USD Not true, but they have to buy A ballot for the right to own a vehicle which is about US $40K, only a few thousand new people each year get the right to buy a first car. Domestic cars have to be under 7 years old and commercial under 5. But the car prices are pretty close to nz prices. The public transport is so good most don't bother owning, or a family has a single car, As in all living generations share one.Well that was the state of it when i lived there 8 or so years ago anyway.

LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 WHAT That's the Certificate of Entitlement which isn't actually rego... but it's up to 78k now. If you had an island nation the size of lake taupo with the population of new zealand, you'd want to make sure that people REALLY want a car first ;-) http://m.sgcarmart.com/articles/articleinfo.php?CT=a&AID=171 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M5V8 337 Report post Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Impact like a waterfall of vomit onto the ground? hahahahahha... yeah something like that. whilst moving it almost looked like there was no wheel spoke. It was very strange. The massive red brakes certainly were required. Edited April 29, 2015 by M5V8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
