Turn them off in your profile settings, I always turn off signatures and avatars on forums if they give the option (this one does), got a slow connection and every little bit helps

Yeah, but there are always the sticks

Not really a rant as such, just an observation.

I have a pretty good mowing run, good clients who work hand in hand with me.

But at Xmas time, all the "FOCUS" people come out. (I saw the FOCUS thing in another thread and really liked it.)

So, the FOCUS people are now all ringing everyone (There's about 8 or 9 lawnies working here) trying to get mows and garden work and crap done for Xmas.
No regular mower man, just ring the poor bastards at their busiest time of the year and then just get cranky when their too busy.

One in particular, has had a quote for $250.00 for a suburban mow from one the guys, because its 2 feet tall and a bun fight. (I wouldn't do it for less than $300.00)
OH no, I can't afford that....... loser.

Her neighbor was telling me how no-one will mow it for her etc etc.

Crap, ya just won't spend the money.... ya dropkick.

Last year, I quoted one place and quoted $1,000 to $1,200 to clean the dump up.
Owner thought it wouldn't be more than 400 to 500....... Good luck and see ya later.

Oh well, they don't call it the silly season for nothing. 

I'm a self employed Plumber...People must think about changing some taps or a toilet suite all year and then 4 weeks out from chrissy decide it must be done...Just as well I am just sitting at home waiting for them to call...

Selling things.

I have a 2014 Seadoo GTS 130. Only has 30 fresh water only hours, full gal trailer, Jerry can holders, jerry cans, spare wheel, ski tubes, ropes and cover. Brand new just over $14k.

I'm selling it for $9k and it has rego till April 16.

I have posted it on Gumtree with the "only reply via phone or text" and I still get emails from idiots with ridiculous offers. Or the get annoyed I didn't answer their email in time so they purchased else where.

The really annoying part, one dude offered me 6k cash, and I had to drop it off for him. I asked him how he came up with that price, he said he can buy a brand new Seadoo Spark (plastic hull and a massive 60hp) brand new and I was asking way to much for mine. Anybody that knows anything about Seadoo jet skis will know where I'm coming from.

Then another bloke offers a realistic off per of 8k. We were thinking about it, but has now disappeared. No replies or answers.

I wish buyers wouldn't waste my time if they weren't serious.

End of rant.

[oldmate]

That's why when I just upgraded to a new work van, I just traded the ute in rather then trying to sell it private. Yeah sure I could of got more for it, but didn't want to go through ^^^^^ that crap.

[Robbo]

I hear what you're saying JR, unfortunately Gumtree seems to attract buyers who are moronic idiots.
I have used TradingPost quite successfully over the years, you still get the morons but generally the buyers are a slightly better class of idiot. As Oldmate said, it's a nightmare selling a vehicle on the net for this reason that's why i always just trade it in and move on.

[Moggy]

I think you just have to separate the Shit from the sugar, and sometimes a sale will come when least expecting it. I've had my motorcycle on there since August, had a few nibbles but nothing serious & then out of the blue this bloke send an email. I get back to him he's keen but I'm in Brisbane til Saturday. He makes an offer sight unseen flys to mackay (actually beat me) meet at the airport comes home with me goes for a ride & throws down the cash. Deal done inside 2hrs.
I was the opposite as far as email vs phone, i didn't want to waste time with tyre kickers on the phone.

Seems like the moron who stood up in front of all Australians telling us the age of entitlement was over was obviusly not talking about himself.

$600k a year for life at 50 plus $350k a year on top of that for being looked after overseas.

But where will he live?
He will obviously get his wife to buy a house and he can live in it while claiming living away from home expenses.

Seriously people.
This man has cut pensions, destroyed the economy and sold out Australia to multinationals and other countries, while screwing us for everything he can get.

When are Australians going to wake up?

My rant is about strange people on facewastebook who like or comment on my posts, but when I realise who they are, try to send them a friend request, only to find they've locked their account to friend requests. Or maybe just ones from me???
