Beware of RIP-OFFs on Trademe
A lot of people assume that things are cheaper on Trademe - but they would be mistaken. Take the Gardena Expert Cut Secateurs (= Pruners, Shears).
Now I consider myself an honest person, and I like win-win situations where everyone is happy.
What I do NOT like are people being ripped off.
According to someone else selling these on Trademe they were $119 and they are selling them at 15% off for $101.15 (compared to which I'm selling them at 45% off)
However in reality they have an RRP of $80 (see www.mitre10.co.nz... ) so my price is still over 26% off on the RRP while THEIR'S is actually $21 OVER the RRP.
And it is the same for EVERY SINGLE ITEM that I checked from them (their Mac computers are waaaay overpriced - I observed them buying a used one cheap and having it for sale for over $500 more the next day).
And as they have nearly 4,000 (FOUR THOUSAND) feedbacks their tactics seem to work on a LOT of people - all because of the assumption that Trademe MUST be cheaper.
So don't assume that everything is cheaper on Trademe - some people just make it seem as if they are cheaper but sell it for more than the shop price.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
