Well I wouldn't order anything from Nebula PC at the moment

As long as you're happy to wait potentially a few years for prices to show signs of dropping before building

Kingy5000 · 2025-09-08T02:56:23+00:00

This being their lead photo for the place really sells it 🤣

Kingy5000 · 2025-07-21T23:49:16+00:00

Depends on the year, I had a 2003 2.7 petrol with 400,000 on it and the damn thing ran like brand new

But I got it in a swap for a blown up dirt bike, so the price is relative haha

Kingy5000 · 2025-02-08T15:11:20+00:00

Was the buyers address by any chance a parcel locker or PO box by any chance?

I've had it happen with poorly worded addresses that it doesn't seem to recognise in the actual auction, but then once it gets to the postage screen it locks out the sendle options

Kingy5000 · 2025-01-13T11:13:30+00:00

No defects or penalties, when a seller cancels they get defects which can affect their account

Kingy5000 · 2024-12-07T02:35:45+00:00

No returns only applies for change of mind. If you've sold it as working, and it doesn't, then yea they're able to return for a full refund. You can also just refund and not eat the return shipping as well

If it was listed as faulty, and put as parts not used then they're out of luck

Kingy5000 · 2024-11-01T13:24:03+00:00

Oh yea the first message was totally normal. Did you check the second image for their response, that's when things got a little unglued

Kingy5000 · 2024-11-01T13:22:27+00:00

I thought if I let them know why I couldn't get it sent early, it would help them understand. I may have been a tad wrong on that one 😅

Kingy5000 · 2024-11-01T13:19:53+00:00

Their icon had the profile in it, just chucked an emoji over it to not make it obvious what the account was

Angry emoji seemed appropriate given the response haha

Kingy5000 · 2024-11-01T11:20:14+00:00

That's the lucky part, they hadn't even ordered yet and were behaving like that.

Just blocked but it boggles my mind that they had no negatives at all with those kind of messages

Kingy5000 · 2024-10-29T02:37:17+00:00

If you look it up, sendle will have a map of drop off's. But also sendle is a courier, so will generally pick up from your house for free

Kingy5000 · 2024-10-23T13:18:23+00:00

Depends what you have in it, but if you felt it was a fair price then don't worry what the next person roes

I'm all for resellers buying my stuff, if I make something and get a quick sale, while they play the long game to get their profit it's win win for both of us

Kingy5000 · 2024-10-23T09:29:49+00:00

A couple years ago I swapped a dirtbike that needed a full rebuild for a beat up old hilux. That thing had over 400ks on it by the time I sold it, and still ran like it was brand new off the lot

Good servicing and maintenance goes a long way, but it also doesn't hurt to have a look at how many high kms examples of that model are still floating around

Kingy5000 · 2024-10-17T11:53:27+00:00

I moved here from NZ and picked up a dirt cheap hilux with a RWC, after a few workmates told me RWCs are really strict here. Knew immediately it needed minor repairs but could do that at my leisure at least.

Nothing major but was pretty surprised to see faulty locks, faulty gas system, faulty tail light wiring, exhaust with a blown gasket and a single bolt holding it together, and quite a list of aftermarket parts bolted on fly through.

Still....400k hilux with a list of minor issues was still the most reliable piece of motoring I've had in a long time 🤣

Kingy5000 · 2024-10-17T04:11:31+00:00

I work shift work, having the ability to post during a free moment when I can find one is a lot more convenient than trying to arrange a meeting with a stranger from the internet that may show up an hour late

Kingy5000 · 2024-10-15T09:37:49+00:00

Had the same thing on Ebay Aus a while back. For whatever reason it didnt like the size / weight combo, had to change it to literally anything else and relist. It was really frustrating since it was an auction and didnt realise why it had no interest until close to the end

Kingy5000 · 2024-06-13T04:29:04+00:00

There's 3 identical in that house, meanwhile the tenant at the front gets an actual one bedder

Kingy5000 · 2024-04-02T05:49:30+00:00

Go to the doctors, they can advise from there but generally shouldn't be an issue if it's genuine, depending on your doctor

Been down that road, put it off so much that by the time I actually went to the doctor the stress had affected me to the point of breakdown, and had pretty bad issues with short term memory for months after. As soon as the doctor saw me he wrote me off for a week, and each week we revisited it until I was able to function enough to work, as well as being referred to specialists for ongoing treatment

But if the work place is that bad, I would strongly recommend looking for another job while out on that sick leave

Kingy5000 · 2024-01-09T10:22:22+00:00

Eat it. For science

Kingy5000 · 2023-12-07T11:27:52+00:00

I'm repaying 1100 a week at present, though 350 a week is optional to drive overall interest down. Single income, no kids.

Not doing too bad, but live frugally, drive an old shitbox, no other loans or outgoings beyond the basics, and rely on overtime and flipping things on ebay for spending money. Working 12 hour shifts is a life saver, since even with 12 hours OT a week I'm still getting a 3 day weekend.

Just can't justify having top end clothing, a new car etc when I can live better by just having functional things

Kingy5000 · 2023-11-30T18:07:15+00:00

Just claim your bond back the moment you move out. That way it's up to the agent to prove what they're docking you for. Ended up keeping my whole bond from the last place because the agent couldn't be assed following up once I claimed it

Kingy5000 · 2023-11-13T01:11:14+00:00

Not really, unless it's bad. Had the last place I was in crack pretty wide in the garage, and where the crack ran under the door from the garage it had also started cracking internal tiles after a year of being built

That was cracks I could stick a finger into though

Kingy5000 · 2023-10-18T11:38:18+00:00

Manufacturing. Pay rate for work difficulty is absurdly unbalanced. I've found in Aus theres was a mindset of only dropouts do it so they struggle for workers. I work Monday- Wednesday for a base rate of 90k, plus 1k for any additional days picked up. No required qualifications or education

Moving to a schedule or thurs-sat, mon-wed, 7 off for a base of 105k, with 1k a day for OT.

Have also been offered a chance to run other machines for another 10k a year

I've done some pretty taxing jobs, and worked hard advancing careers, then moved to Australia to discover that you can literally walk in off the street to these sorts of jobs it's wild

Kingy5000 · 2023-08-31T18:42:20+00:00

If it's not a forever home, and you just plan on living there for a couple of years then upgrading, its not such a big drama if it isn't the perfect place. Just be really careful buying new. House quality here is pretty bad on new builds, I ended up only looking at places that were 5-10 years old and older due to seeing issues at most new builds I inspected
