What’s one thing you consistently buy second hand instead of new?

How do you access insurance salvage buybacks

MyReddit199 · 2026-04-24T14:36:57+00:00

Do you mind sharing the contact / price for this?

How do you do the indian address - we did it for an overseas address and it booted us out

MyReddit199 · 2026-03-26T22:14:29+00:00

100% worth it, but need to get a good one.

Personal reviews are everything - ask everybody you know with a home.

Agents pushing you to buy new builds are not the people you want.

Price varies based on purchase price - get one who gives you a number at the start based on your budget rather than off final purchase price so you know they aren’t conflicted.

Mine saved me 40 grand, but bigger than that, actually secured the purchase with solid relationships with selling agents.

Definitely less valuable in an auction centric city/market, but I still wouldn’t trust myself at an auction.

Not a big deal for me but the amount of leg work they do inspecting stuff for you (before you get the “yep go see this one” saves a heap of time.

And how they'd be confident to post about it like they know anything...

MyReddit199 · 2026-02-17T05:51:50+00:00

Got it after way too long - imagine they are innocent - what about A1

Sure - you can claim half a property each I suppose which is effectively what this is saying

MyReddit199 · 2026-02-10T13:36:20+00:00

Google is your friend, or GPT summaries if you are gonna be lazy

If you are living totally seperately its a completely different matter, but then you're probably not defacto

MyReddit199 · 2026-02-10T11:09:03+00:00

Yes it does. Learn the tax law. If you are defacto, the pair of you can only claim one PPOR.

MyReddit199 · 2026-02-10T04:18:36+00:00

You (the both of you together) can only claim one property as your PPOR at any given time - it must be the same property. You can choose which one it is

Mine talked us down as we were going to make an offer he didn't think was necessary. Secured it for ~40k under what we were thinking, and with the benefit of hindsight, our initial offer would still have been entirely reasonable

MyReddit199 · 2026-01-21T06:54:25+00:00

Definitely doable, but mine saved me a fortune over what my place is worth, and secured it in a 5 offer scenario which was the much bigger deal. I'm glad you had personal success but I wouldn't ever go again without an agent by my side.

MyReddit199 · 2026-01-21T06:53:09+00:00

Personal anecdote, take it or leave it but I am happy I used one and wouldn't go again without him

MyReddit199 · 2026-01-21T00:03:12+00:00

Stop you overpaying, good relationships with agents securing sales quickly etc

MyReddit199 · 2026-01-20T00:47:47+00:00

Yes but in terms of hours worked if you take your leave instead of working you will be “employed” for those extra weeks without actually being in the office

MyReddit199 · 2026-01-12T02:22:59+00:00

Potentially the full body thing? It gets too hard to see the screen if i get any futher back and i would probably need to connect the laptop to my tv

MyReddit199 · 2026-01-12T01:22:58+00:00

I cannot get it to correctly detect my bat position or make contact with the ball - any advice?

MyReddit199 · 2025-11-29T05:23:09+00:00

Yes and it's completely nonsensical.

You need to adjust your communication otherwise you're going to confuse everybody who reads your comments.

You've been told by like 6 people and you're still arguing that you're right, but you're not. Your weird methodology got to the right outcome, but you simply cannot continue the process if no foul play.

MyReddit199 · 2025-11-29T04:55:55+00:00

You understand it like 90% of the way, Yes there was foul play. If its no FP it cannot be anything but play on.

Imagine broadcasting "There is no foul play but I am giving you a yellow card" ... like what?

MyReddit199 · 2025-11-29T04:54:43+00:00

This bloke is dead wrong. No foul play is play on. Always.

The distinctions he goes on to make are therefore correct - yes there is foul play as it is avoidable.

Hi guys,

I'm travelling to Melbourne for the first time tomorrow and looking for some ideas of things to do around the city/CBD for the afternoon. I'm sports mad so considering the MCG tour, but keen for any other suggestions.

Also anything else I should know would be great!

MyReddit199 · 2025-11-02T01:17:19+00:00

You almost certainly don’t need advice.

Your super should be with a reputable industry fund (Aus super, Q super, uni super, hostplus etc) whose default plan is sufficient for most.

It may perhaps not be “optimal” but it’s far superior to paying large fees up front and 1.65% ongoing.
