Yep. I had a nasty one on my bike when I got T-boned by an impatient driver on Christmas Eve about 10 years ago. Bloody lucky to still be here. Bike sat in the garage hardly ridden for ages but I couldn't bring myself to sell it for years. Eventually sold it and bought a Patrol!Quote:

I hate moving furniture.
Spent the day helping my daughter move, now there is not a part of my body that doesn't hurt.
Made it worse that it would not stop bloody raining the whole day and I started off this morning with a hangover.
Need to get into some serious drinking now to dull the pain.
Watching my GQ drive away for the very last time :(.
Can I ask if it was sold through here or somewhere else?
Somewhere else mate. Advertised it on gumtree yesterday arv sold it today.Quote:

After reaping the benefits of ebay as a buyer for years, I decided to use it to sell some popular items. Since I last used ebay: The fees levied have gone up for both paypal and ebay. Between all the items I sold (The potential to make money on the items ie what I paid vs what I was able to auction them for, was there, but I didn't) the fees levied make up approximately 20% of all the bids added together.
Paypal takes a couple of % across the winning bid AND postage
ebay takes a percentage of the winning bid price.
So just say you had bought a patrol steel rim on ebay for $75 + 25 postage. It arrived at your house, and you immediately put it back on ebay.
You take photos, do a description. Answer questions. Promise people you can post it ASAP, explain why the $25 you have put on is adequate. Some stupid person bids it to $74. You have listed postage as $25.
Out of the $99 total paid by the winning bidder: You might get left with $85 with which to pay postage and make your 'profit' or money back' You then drive to the post office, buy any packaging, and stand in line to post the item.
Ebay does all right out of this effort you put in. And I'm still waiting for the stupid feedback from people that didn't take the time to read the painstaking descriptions and photos I wrote.
Never again.
I told you it was too cheap mate! But I guess a quick sale was what you were after. Really bummed man!Quote:

They lost two items I sent to a customer, both it separate satchels, the first they didn't pay up on, and the second I only got $59.95 off them, $50 for the item and the $9.95 for the post. And each item was worth $98.
Sorry, the rim was a bad example. It wasn't rims I was selling. They were lighter more expensive items. The postage was covered by what I charged, despite the messages received saying "I work for Australia post, and a prepaid bag is only $6". I did charge $25 postage, but buggered if I would let some precision items bang around in a plastic bag and maybe not arrive or not work. Packed well and posted with a signature. Gave one bloke a 5c refund for the unused postage amount.
Then there's the the ones that bid it up, then send a message "sorry I no pay".
Is posting here supposed to make me feel better or have the issue go away?
Having an RDO and waking up to a list chores and things to get done

@ Newby now you can start planning a better truck if that's possible,
@ AB you said you were Karmared, now was that a payback in your favour or against
paying $245 at the dentist to have a tooth removed and a checkup :(
Could have gotten silicone implants in Thailand for that money.Quote:
