Telstra seemed to have repriced all there mobile and data plans
I went in and got the following
10 dollars off both sim only plans for me and the missus
brand new nighthawk wirless broadband modem
Data allowance increased from 6 to 36 gig across all devices

Seems you have to go in and shake the tree a bit but it was a good deal

it also makes a difference if you walk into a Telstra shop that's owned by them or a franchise.. the local one at Karingal is a franchise type gig.. you get no favours... if you go 3klm down road to Franga one, you get welcomed in.

$9 New Mig Welder.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/282508564260

I know this is  "too good to be true" but I thought hey I'll give it a go.

I know it's dodgy as, the Seller is new (0 items) however they have reviews in the listing?, seller is in Aus but item is in china, and $9 is far too cheap. 

I see one of a few things happening here.

1. I never see it.
2. I get an email saying it should have been a different price and never see it.
3. I've missed some fine print and I get a box or picture of it in the mail.

This looks like a link for the Real 3 in 1 - NEW 250 Amp MIG ARC Gas/Gasless Portable Welder Welding Machine MAG

$9 looks like someone running a scam...

was going to roll the dice for $9 and put it through paypal, but that only encourages the a-holes

Too cheap/scam?
The shipping would cost more than $9 on it's own,  wouldn't it. ..

Paid with a credit card with PayPal so that if PayPal makes it too hard to get my $9 back I can just reverse the charge on the credit card, Scam is my initial thought but as they would only make $90 max I think the wrong price is up there. Bought on the off chance an incorrect price isn't noticed and the item is shipped.

Lol I'm hoping they ship, but also paid on PayPal, so it's pretty safe

From my Paypal account

eBay - radhikafebvung@yahoo.com
Payment- negative $9.00
eBay - radhikafebvung@yahoo.com hasn't accepted yet. Cancel

I think if he was a scammer he would have taken the money and run by now. So maybe new to ebay and trying to figure out how to cancel the transactions is the shortest odd's now.
