Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.

Hitting The Sweet Spot
You might think you have the perfect product to tempt your customers but are you certain your perceptions align with theirs?
Failure to find your customer’s sweet spot may simply render your product out of date and out of touch.

Failure to find your customer’s sweet spot may simply render your product out of date and out of touch.
A rare box of 120 year-old chocolates from the Boer War was for sale recently on Trade Me and attracted quite a lot of attention. But the asking price and viewers’ comments provide food for thought about the importance of making sure your value perceptions match those of your customers.
The tin gift box dating from 1900 with New Year’s greetings from Queen Victoria holds a certain value for collectors of Boer War memorabilia. But the fact that it still contains the six original uneaten chocolate bars adds enormously to the interest this item is generating.
Initially, the vendor was very confident in the value of this auction and asked upwards of $2,000.
But the auction has had no bites, and as one person said, "$2000 is a hell of a lot". Such comments about the exorbitant price tag have forced the vendor to lower their expectations to around $800.
Part of the problem here was that rancid fat and sugar bloom makes the chocolate inedible. And who wants to buy a 120 year-old product that is not fit for purpose?
This raises some really important points about value perceptions. In simple terms, if you want your product to be relevant you need to understand where your customers’ sweet spot is and how you can add value to that.
It’s very easy to have a distorted view of the value your product offers to the market. You know the enormous amount of time, effort and resources that have gone into the research, design, pricing, sales and marketing of your product. And so you’re rightly proud of what you have achieved.
But this same intense involvement can blind you to changing customer tastes, the value your competitors offer and any flaws in your own value perceptions. The harsh reality is that what was considered valuable 1 year or even 6 months ago may no longer be valued.
It may be that customers’ perceptions have changed. It could be that a competitor is offering a lot more value for the same price. A drop in perceived value might be due to the use of non recyclable packaging or increased awareness of a labour issue some other seemingly unrelated aspect.
Such a volatile market requires you to always be on your toes. You need to constantly review, and ask; does my product add value to my consumers’ lives?

Kmart's list of 31 recalls

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.
The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?

Bulk plant orders for gardens
BULK plant orders!
I can do bulk orders, that is, a high number of exactly the same plant and variety. I define bulk as 25+ of the same product and plant variety.

I can do bulk orders, that is, a high number of exactly the same plant and variety. I define bulk as 25+ of the same product and plant variety. Not to be confused with a big order that has lots of different products and plant varieties. This is perfect if you need to purchase for a mass planting or have lots of space!
Things to note:
- I do require some advance notice as it takes time to order seeds in bulk, get seeds to germinate and plants to start growing
- I do require a deposit at the time the order is made because I had the awful experience last time of a man who ordered 200 loki gourd plants for his supposed farm. Luckily I didn't start to process the order because he wasn't sincere and I never heard from him again. But I'm putting the offer of bulk orders out there in case there are genuine cases where people simply need tons of plants. I'm happy to do the best I can for these people. Depending on what is being ordered and quantities, I may even be able to offer a discount. I'll see what I can do.
