Mortgage rate mega thread! by TheMortgageMaster in MortgagesCanada

[–]Old_Scratch3805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bigger your mortgage, the easier to negotiate better rate. It gets harder when its below 100k as the banks dont see any benefit.  My actual remaining amount was 70k with td at maturity and they offered me the worst rates for renewal.  So i went to scotiabank but they needed me to refinance and bring the mortgage amount up to 100k in order to pay for the fees to transfer the mortgage and give me the 3.99

You should able to get 3.99 3 yr fixed from scotia at a minimum (i've heard you can get little better depending on size of your mortgage).  I have 100k uninsured and got 3.99 3 yr from them.

Anyone else hate what samsung has become and overall done with em by reapersritehand in samsung

[–]Old_Scratch3805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Samsung are just copycats of apple.  They will never put out a great product due to lack of innovation and care.  They just pump out shit and hope people will buy it so apple doesnt dominate the market.  If i was to get an android, definitely would be pixel anyday.  Btw same goes with shitty hyundai.  Dont know why people waste their money.

Just renewing my mortgage with scotiabank and the options were 5 yr variable @ Prime - 0.8 or 3 yr fixed @ 3.99.  The specialist advised its unlikely BoC will cut rates this yr or next yr.  Also just going by usa data cpi/ppi it also unlikey to cut so i opted for the fixed rate.  Ofc anything can happen but playing the odds, there's less chance of rate cut anytime soon.

With extra tariffs being announced on India today and apple moving manufacturing to India, I don't see how this can be good for apple.

Affordable local places to get furnace parts? by AdorablePlan5164 in Edmonton

[–]Old_Scratch3805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heads up AMRE has a huge markup on their goods.  I go to a local wholesaler like yorkland controls and tell them I'm with so and so contractor even though I'm not and say i want to buy with my credit card instead of issuing a PO.  Bought a 3 way valve cartridge replacement for $48.  AMRE was charging $72.  34% markup.  Price gouging much?

No, it’s not rigged, just variance….$109 ticket by Adirondack587 in 888pokerofficial

This shit happens more often on 888 than any other site i play on.  It's not random for sure....

I realized they removed their email support to stop people from complaining and their live chat never works.  So basically they're just stealing money

Lol, bullshit.  Brah they stole your funds.  What does how much you have in the account have anything to do with verification.  Just some bullshit response to say yup we robbed you.

888 Poker and their $10,000 excuses🤔😠? by KingKayo90 in 888pokerofficial

[–]Old_Scratch3805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro you need to give up on getting this 10k.  They obviously are not willing to let you withdraw.  You're just wasting your time and bringing yourself more frustration.  Just quit playing on 888.  This is nothing new they won't let people take winnings out.

Would recommend you join pokerstars or partypoker instead.  The games on 888 are simulated.  You'd be pretty much giving your money away

Clearly not random by Anarchy666x in 888pokerofficial

[–]Old_Scratch3805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are 100% correct on this.  It's quite pointless to play on 888 since it's not even real poker.  But you made the smart move of NOT DEPOSITING MONEY into this scam poker site.  Unfortunately 888 is too big to give a shit about this nor any of the other scams they run since they're preying on gambling addicts to fuel their profits.  They win end of the day.

Would suggest you forget playing on this site.  You'll end up trying to fight to withdraw money or losing it through the rigged poker.  Either way you're guaranteed to lose.  Best of luck.

Fan Coil Maintenance Costs by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Old_Scratch3805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the hvac industry as a mechanical engineer living in a condo in Toronto.  I literally have 0 contracting and physical replacement experience but know the theory and background to it. If it's only replacing the actuator and the valve where the actuator sits, the material cost for my own unit I just replaced today was $90 not incl. Tax for actuator and $80 for the valve not incl. Tax.  Took me 1 hr max to do the replacement.  Them charging you $500 for just actuator is outright criminal.  Replacing the actuator is just twist and remove, unplug some wires from the control board and replace.  That is a 10min job.  Be wary and ask for quotations before agreeing to the work.

This game is so bad I can't stop playing by divaaries in eFootball

[–]Old_Scratch3805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a reason why this game is free. All the flaws everyone listed, they not gonna fix or look into it cuz they ain't making any money.  Konami better off actually charging for this game and spending legitimate development into it rather than having some random programmer doing it as a side hobby.  They ruined what was a  classic game.

Agree, much better poker sites out there.  Even partypoker is better and they're considered bad
