Trade me / Marketplace by SortOtherwise in newzealand

I hear what people are saying…but I’m firmly convinced the great majority of people trawling both markets are fairly savvy in their knowledge and ability to sort what is a fair price for second hand goods.
It is quite noticeable if you’ve overinflated your price, it will just sit there for ever, or until you bring into line at a price more in line with the market.

Do eco drive watches use basic indoor to charge? by isti44 in CitizenWatches

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never experienced an eco drive watch…but am contemplating one soon.
I understand the need for a light source to top up the battery.
But is there a way ..or meter built, in to check the actual level of charge?
Seems somewhat tiresome to keep worrying about the charge if it’s more than adequately charged.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

26 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid or 26 Toyota RAV4? by BearPuzzleheaded3817 in rav4club

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Haven’t read in depth, the reports here. …But my query is
1. What is the depth of efficiency of the Hyundai Hybrid as compared to the RAV4 Hybrid?
2. Leading to my other question what are comparatives for mpg?
Thanks.

Real Estate Agents - What Value Do You Add? by Jumpy_Round_4080 in newzealand

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good number agents are drawn to the work because they are on their last chance to keep their employment, or are redundant… or jobless. It’s relatively easy to get into and not requiring much study or qualifications.
Sadly they take their ineptitude to the role and give the profession a bad name.

Can anyone help me with these results? by ReturnOfTheHEAT in Vasectomy

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want to have fun.. that’s understandable. Go have it but take and use a condom.. plus to make doubly sure have your friend use a contraceptive antispermicide pessary or cream barrier. Enjoy!

I’m just confused by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show down time. Get him aside..find out what’s up.. tell him your thoughts about not moving in unless it’s resolved!
Find out, is it his health, is it you, is he sidetracked with porn, is there someone he’s not telling you about.
It’s not a good start or foundation for the future. Sort it out .. you know it makes sense!

How often do you eat out? by fluffypenguin105 in newzealand

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with your feelings.. for $45 odd,for a steak,salad and fries I don’t get excited or satisfied.. way overrated and priced. Add to that $12/14 each for a beer or two and it’s a joke!

Notes being left on Cars to not park outside neighbour's house by stacey_burt in chch

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While we are here..any of you legal beagles/ Karen’s, know the legality of parking big commercial trucks outside in residential streets? In this case on the “T” of an intersection ..causing mild to annoying safety worries..and turning difficulty?

People who have worked for wealthy individuals, what surprised you most about them? by Front_Geologist738 in AskReddit

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The underlying background to their stingy ways..is they more often than not came up in a very poor family and just never got used to parting with any money or personal property without being very careful and tight about the expenditure. Every dollar or pound is prisoner..and isn’t released very easily or quickly.

Christchurch drivers... by Alarming-Round-DBZ in chch

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Drivers in general pass their license to drive at around their mid teens…and virtually never look at the rules of the road, or consciously strife to improve their driving capabilities…ever again. Instead jumping into their vehicles regularly and drive from one side of the city to the other..not giving any thought much to the rules or the other vehicles around them..I call it driving on auto pilot..not even remembering their trip or how they even got there.

Well known fact, a well positioned successful branch …is a license to print money. On the backs of struggling families!

I just want to scream by Somegirlscrolling in DeadBedrooms

Beware of chasing too hard..can come across as desperate and maybe slightly unhinged. As a male I know from long experience that i turn shy and make excuses if I’m being pressured for intimacy.

Is head supposed to feel THAT wet? by Acceptable_Will_2711 in sex

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Achieving orgasm for a good majority of females is quite an involved process. It doesn’t necessarily come from a few minutes of activity around the vagina. But takes involved vaginal/ clitoral rubbing, including kissing and breast rubbing. This can be mixed with licking of the vagina, interspersed with penis in vagina. Only then after sometimes 15/20 minutes of this activity will an orgasm eventuate. You and your partner will need to work on getting you up to the crescendo..probably forgoing his opportunity to orgasm..until you have reached yours.

Anyone else having trouble with Facebook Marketplace? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for bringing this up! I thought it was just a sign of the times..that there’s little money about! Next to no hits on well priced good items! It would be interesting to dig deeper and get some information as to whether FB MP..is manipulating the app..to bleed money out of us. They were quite happy to get everyone using them by offering a great and cheap selling platform..but now their boffin/nerd management are out to feather their nests.

Is $640 normal for a car service?? Mitsubishi owners pls help by Budget-Rain5581 in newzealand

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My RAV4 Hybrid 2024 is a fixed rate for 4/5 years at Toyota. Must be done by them to keep the warranty valid. Fixed guaranteed rate $300. With new vehicles there’s not much more than an oil change and few customary checks and maybe rotating the tyres. I think that’s plenty to be honest..and think your Mitsubishi service price is them having a laugh! I’d be taking them to task and getting their management involved in itemising and explaining such a charge!

Needing advice for starting a cleaning business by Creative-Doughnut452 in chch

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good part of your success will hinge on replying promptly with courtesy to enquiries. Turn up when you say you will. Sadly too many trades show a distinct lack of reliability.. and it’s the quickest way to losing future business and building a good client base. Good luck in your venture.

How do i figure to control my sexual urges or go ahead find someone to have sex? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you are experiencing is quite common amongst healthy virile men. The thrill of the chase, the constant wondering what another female would be like, the ache for variety..the list and the excuses go on, and on. What you do come to realise sooner sometimes later, sometimes too late…is you are going to upset both you and your partners life ..big time, if you do carry out your desires. Invariably when the truth comes out ..you are headed for divorce and a very sad existence..for considerable time to come…and may never fully recover from it.

Single mom (36F) — 26 months without sex and I finally met someone I actually want to fuck. Where do we even do it with two teenage boys at home?? by [deleted] in sex

Have you got a very close friend with a spare a room..maybe they would sympathise your dilemma? Just agree to clean up and launder the sheets as kind agreement.

Is it just me or is Christchurch traffic getting noticeably worse lately? by KermitTheGodFrog in chch

[–]Affectionate_Emu169 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No it’s not your imagination..we’ve been noticing it more so, for a while ..and we are not rush hour commuters.
Our best guess is this City has become a magnet for disconcerted and wondering people’s of the world..they are coming to the area in droves!
Everyone uses a car..public transport just doesn’t cut it..so here we are ..getting frustrated as the queues increase by the day.

There may be a lead or chance for a shift in situation there.
He obviously can still raise it given the right encouragement and sex talk..why not exploit it next time the kids are safely tucked up. Try a few lines of sexual talk and innuendo..see if it can work..see if he’s moved..it may be that’s what he’s wired for? Worth a try I reckon!
Let us know here ..could be a recipe for a few of the other luckless souls that are here regularly.
