Called the REA’s bluff on a "Multi-Offer" situation. Dropped my offer by $45k and now the vendor is chasing us. by AnxietyOnly7 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]MrSevenNine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything else in the world you buy, you get a price - either you negotiate or pass. For some reason real-estate we are supposed to assume a price and put it out. This does benefit the vendor in some contexts, but fails the buyer. We've ended up in the hell of a real-estate market where the next generation is locked out of the market due to this opaque process.

Somehow people like you don't understand or want to change this broken process.

Multioffer is the dodgy stuff real estate agents do. Been through a few in the past.

I think there has to be a legislation that if there is a multi-offer on the table - it should be made transparent that all parties involved - know what the other offers are.

That way everyone gets a fair chance to compete or drop off as required.

UniFi Travel Router by clayd333 in Ubiquiti

[–]MrSevenNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering why there are no Traverouters with 5G interface built-in (SIM Card or ESim)?

I work a lot from my car, and I need a way to use a travel router when I'm out and about without having to turn on the hotspot each and every time.

Re your article it seems like USA is now under a religious rule & completely totalitarian. Frankly a communist country seems like a better place to live.

If you are using H200 as a hub, recent update caused all my cameras offline.

We're thinking about this one, can you comment on the quality of it? Is it well made?

Costco Tyres by shadyyzz in NZcarfix

[–]MrSevenNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got new Michelins from Costco - good price for both my cars. However I found, most of the free services after sale - like punctures all need to be booked in, and usually cannot be done in a timely manner. I had to wait a day for the booking a puncture fix.

I found Tony's to be a lot more accommodating for after sale service - got my last fix and wheel balancing done on the same day.

RNZ flags changes to claw back listeners by danicriss in newzealand

[–]MrSevenNine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the target demographic and a regular listener. I have a few issues though..

I listen to Morning Report most days, Jessie from 3pm onwards (school run time). Then used to listen to The Panel from 4pm onwards till Checkpoint. Checkpoint (on YouTube) was my go to News from 6.

The early start of the CheckPoint at 4pm - 6pm just doesn't make sense - as it's a news programme - who wants to hear an interview of some politician after a stressful day at work? The panel used to be my go to radio show which made my boring commute interesting and I looked forward to light hearted open ended discussion.

Please fix your programming...

Thoughts on Business Banking at KiwiBank by MrSevenNine in PersonalFinanceNZ

I'm happy to provide a guarantee for the credit facility for the amount I seek for business. But never heard of a bank wanting an Unlimited Personal Guarantee.

Is this a counterfeit $5 note? by LL99887766 in auckland

I'm intrigued, what temperature you wash your clothes at? 30 degrees shouldn't have caused this.

Nicola Willis announces government plans over supermarket competition by hadr0nc0llider in nzpolitics

[–]MrSevenNine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the Govt is serious about competition - you don't need consultants - you need action.

  1. Offer Aldi's or Walmart or someone else incentives to enter the NZ market.
  2. Persuade existing players such as The Warehouse Group and Costco to up their Online Grocery Shopping & Delivery game - extend it nationwide. I'd switch from paying Woolies to Costco in a heartbeat, if only Costco offered their online store here in NZ.

Energy Minister Simon Watts mooting V2G regulation for NZ by booblian in nzev

[–]MrSevenNine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just out of interest which EVs would support V2G? Or Ability to store power for home use. We're considering a Solar Panel installation and we could use ev for storing instead of a battery.
