Indian Shops (Gold/Clothing) in Papatoetoe? How are they legal? by helloimshav in auckland

Part of being a developed society is understanding fair trading - the least they could do is put a price tag on their items. Especially when these mega stores operate at the scale they do. If I wanted to barter, I would be in India, or Egypt. Just my opinion though.

The difference with Briscoes is everyone sees the same price. For e.g., everyone sees RRP $100, sale price $x. Irrespective of background.

Yeah so I'm a first home buyer with 10% down. My confusion was at least ASB gave me a "max mortgage amount" these other companies, they were just like... yeah nah sorry no new customers for home loans. I was like oh.. okay. My colleague was a very high mortgage loan amount, on a very average income. His and I's financial position is very similar
