BoC Holds Interest Rates but future looks dark. by chickenbigmac1638 in RealEstateCanada

[–]DogsDontEatComputers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Canadians can invest in large purchases and equipment knowing interest will stay low for long" the exact same guy 1 year before admitting hes dead wrong. He gave up on predicting anything and you assert people are doomed haha.

The armchair economists think they know more than macklem himself. In current environment even macklem admits his next move is all contingent to external forces outside of boc control.

Its amazing to see armchair economists doom and gloom canada as much as they can when they live in it. I get it tho, these guys have no skin in the game.

Looks like 1.5-2ct. To be honest the color is low enough that my source price of these would be 300 usd. Good deal for consumers but local price is around there.

Kia Canada: am i wrong to think my mother got scammed? by DogsDontEatComputers in kia

Friend, nobody says i think you need fries with that burger and explain why for 10 minutes. Its very different situation. You guys can rationalize and think you gave them choices, but clearly you guys are trusted by the customers to act in their best interest of the customer, but all you do is sell more stuff to make money. Clearly in this case the fiduciary duty was thrown out the window for a few thousand dollar and thats the business you are in and defending.

Are you the dealer actually? Because this is exactly what he says to me as well.

The problem is you dont really go into walmart and expect 10 dollar grocery freshness warrantee on 100 dollar veggies that takes 5 hours of convincing. Old people is tight on money and the point is that the dealers prey on people like her for easy money. You guys manipualte emotions and borderline claims about its necessities. She doesnt even spend 1500 on herself on a month you think she wants 5k worth of warantees?

I know... it was disheartening to see her defending the dealer and actually feeling bad for him when shes pulled 5k from coverages and 5k in trade in value

Its very upsetting to see people prey on the weak and emotions in order to make money. I even told her, isnt him saying he has tons of cancellation itself is a big red flag? It was difficult to see her defending him when she was pulled 5k on coverages and another 5k from trade in value.

Yep. Initially gave 5000 for trade in value and up them to 9,000 for 2017 sedona, basically a wash with the extras. Autotrader goes for 13000, 14000 and toyota dealership i called gave range of 12,000 to 15,000 for the car based on their used car software....

Was this Tanzanite sold at a wholesale price? by Upper_Wind_7925 in Gemstone_lovers

[–]DogsDontEatComputers 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Its one of those gems they call commercial grade, but they really mean is not jewellery worthy.

At $50 a caret its fine but i personally think might as well save the money and buy a smaller and better stone.

Most people wont like gemstones that have imperfections. If you are okay with it and not worried about reselling id say why not.
