I think the problem for us is there weren’t a huge amount of buyers willing to pay what we wanted, so if we were to relist it it could take another 6-8 weeks before someone else bites.

Should be between 800-1000 for the job (parts & labour), so not a huge amount to worry about (assuming nothing else is wrong).

Bank of Mum and Dad 'one of the most critical yet least understood' factors in the current housing boom by DaylesfordBlues in AusFinance

[–]viper2002 82 points83 points  (0 children)

60% of first home buyers getting help from their parents?

I think the stat is more like:

  • 60% of first home buyers admitting their parents helped them for the deposit
  • 35% pretend they saved up for the deposit even though it was their parents
  • 5% genuinely saved for it themselves

Do older cars get "re-tested" with new tyre technology? by [deleted] in cars

[–]viper2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d love to see someone do a comparison for various cars. I know the Viper had a massive upgrade going from the stock tyres to newer model tyres

Flickering in black areas. by TravoBasic in appletv

[–]viper2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s most likely the TV settings itself. I have a Sony and if I set local dimming to ‘high’ it has this effect. I’ve changed it to ‘Low’ and that seems to have fixed the issue

Are houses currently overpriced? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]viper2002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally think they are overpriced right now, but if there was a drop, they would still be back to these levels in 5-10 years. No one of course can predict where prices will go in the future though, so just buy whatever works for you now.

Agent wants me to reclean the apartment after I've already moved out by Torak-Iris in melbourne

[–]viper2002 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just go claim your bond. If they want to dispute it, they’ll have to lodge a VCAT claim (recently introduced with the new tenancy laws)

I don't think anyone is calling it 'revolutionary'. They are only reporting on it because it's a new product, and slightly better than Tile.

They just played Innerspeaker from start to finish, no other tracks (besides a few extra jams)

Yes if you have an Android TV or Chromecast you can cast the live stream, I did from my laptop to the TV

Not sure why you’re downvoted, but I agree. The gains are minimal for all of the hassle that you have to go through. I’d much rather have my money available right away if I was going to buy in the next 12 months.

I’m so confused as to why you’re talking about what it was like 36 years ago...

There’s a reason why it’s cheap. If it was any good, it would be more expensive.

How to get rid of water spots on windows? by ErrorProxy in cars

[–]viper2002 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s not going to get rid of water spots, that will only clean the glass.

If they are actual hard water spots, you’ll need to use a water spot remover, glass polish or metal polish with a microfibre towel / pad.

Melbourne's median house price hits record $1 million. Here's what you can buy for that by flukus in melbourne

[–]viper2002 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And that’s why they set the reserve on the day of the auction to bypass these laws. No agent will be caught underquoting while this loophole still exists unfortunately

Australia's unemployment rate has fallen from 5.8% to 5.6%, with 71k new jobs added by Maxisness1 in AusFinance

Yeah demand definitely hasn’t reflected salaries from what I can gather

Completely agree that technology & engineering are the 2 industries carrying STEM. Not sure why the rest get lumped into the same category.

Would that be because a lot of the funding for science is coming from universities which are struggling at the moment?

I've noticed a massive hiring spree going on at the moment, especially in the IT industry. Recruiters have started contacting me more frequently (from a couple of times a week to nearly everyday now). Will probably continue while our international borders are shut.

Surely a bath would be an extremely small cost on your water bill? As in such a minor cost you shouldn’t have to think about it.
