I've been looking for a more upright chair for well over a year. We have chairs for "lounging in"... what I needed was an upright position chair that I could potentially work from, should I be working from the road while traveling. (more on that topic to come...) Also one that was *ahem* rated to a heavier weight.
These popped up in an email ad from another online seller, I did my research into the chairs found that the usual list price was around the $149-$159 mark... and my online seller had them for the discounted price of $109.
I did a further check and surprise... Google Shopping showed me Terrace Boating at Heatherbrae with them for $69.
One phone call later, confirmed stock and I *now* have two chairs for the price of one!!!
Ordered online Tuesday, in my hands Friday in Sydney.
Happy Dance time.

nice work on the bargain chairs. I've tried some similar style chairs and they're pretty good for being more upright like you want.
A mate has this one and while not a bargain it's probably the most comfortable camping chair I've ever sat in so if I ever see it on sale I'll be grabbing one. Similarly upright and not 'loungy' but somehow really relaxing at the same time. Packs up very small too.

Repco have these Thunder 12/24v 20A power sockets going out on clearance for $4 ea.
The ones I started looking at repco are exactly same looking, almost same part number and same description but they are $18 ea and branded as Drivetech.
So I ordered 5 of the Thunder for $20 on click and collect last night and picked up this morning. Look exactly like the Narva ones I've used before except they have led lights inside.

Been hunting for a replacement for our 60L ARB classic fridge that was written off by the NRMA during the garage flood last year.
(the same NRMA that then refused the claim and forced me to go through AFCA and settle for a third of the value of the stuff that the NRMA took to the tip... but that's a much longer story)
Mainly looking at 2nd hand dual zones on Marketplace. Had a scam attempt made on me on Friday.
This morning, on a whim... I searched on Google for EvaKool fridges new as I know they just updated the "Down Under" model to the Down Under II. (so was hoping that the older model might be on sale)
I spotted the Ridge Rider dual zones at Supercheap and I knew that they are made by EvaKool... so I clicked the link.
so ummmm... $1.00 for the 73L model huh... hmmmmmmmm
The pictures tell the story. Ordered and paid online. For Pickup at the Minchinbury store... Drove down to Minchinbury and grabbed (their last) one in a box. Then also grabbed the last (ex-display one) one from Penrith for a mate. (it was running when I called in) Ordered and paid online. For Pickup.
they still show at $1.00 on the website, but when you add it to the cart it switches back to $599

Starlink web pageYeah. If your classed as rural that deal is the go. What they class as rural is pretty loose. I know some in in the lower blue mountains that got that deal. I don’t call anywhere in the blue mountains rural anymore.
https://www.starlink.com/?referral=RC-1298-58879-28 (https://www.starlink.com/?referral=RC-1298-58879-28)
But it’s not the rv version either. But I believe what people are doing is getting the foxed version then you can add the portability option to it after. Then they can pause the service.
For us, once again, we paid the full $1000 bucks then a month later they start running all the deals. Do we regret it, nope. It’s been great.
