I've found it can be better for certain things than Gumtree/Facebook Marketplace or similar. Lot of cheapskates/morons on the other ones.

Much prefer knowing the cost upfront. They're passing on extra cost and extra profit for themselves to you and you're blaming the…

Crazy how cookers think. Without government guardrails these sorts of people would be lost.

I don't know why they limit it to new accounts. All free website/AI garbage should go there. Unfortunately mods haven't fully caught up…

The problem is the profit is usually hidden and so it's not taxed appropriately. E. G., they take out a loan in a country with low tax…

Probably similar people who care about buying branded jerseys and Adidas sneakers.

It's probably $500-$1000 or so savings. That's a decent saving, and not sure what you mean but the flight is a pretty insignificant part of…

Many places have 1 day frenzies and similar, it's not a particularly unique thing to Jetstar.

The sort of person stressing about electricity bills is probably going to struggle dropping an additional $20k to $30k+ for solar/battery.…

"A long-time, financially savvy, blunt, sceptical, no-nonsense OzBargain regular who is comfortable disagreeing with people and tends to…

For someone so involved on OzB I thought you'd know better that this should be posted in the AI megathread:…

If a business is charging me more than their costs then (profanity) them. I'm happy for that business to die as it's anti-consumer in the…

Well, I know that if a price says $500 it means it costs $500. Rsther than paying $510 due to a random surcharge being tacked on that was…

Isn't this largely irrelevant? Your data can show which coke tastes best to most people, but others can still hate it and prefer another.…

Worth noting you'd have the 5 year warranty regardless under Australian law so long as you're willing to fight for it. Would expect a…

Eh, a lot of its outside of their control. A lot of it is due to Trump and his delusional right wing politics. For some reason though…

Yep. People don't realize they pay 10% more so they can get their 1000 Dollarydoo points.

The ATO will pay 4.43%. I can get more from the bank without issue and I don't have to wait for it or jump through any hoops. Definitely…

To be fair if you have a tax bill you should never pay early. Free interest if you hold off. It's only if you are owed money by ATO that…

I'd usually aim for 10% minimum for this card. OK if you need it desperately now but you can get better discounts pretty regularly.

If you believed everything Trump said you'd go insane as he directly contradicts himself and lies. No point speculating what will happen…

Eh, speculative twitter posts like this are meant to drum up fear and be clickbaity. Generally anything on Twitter is garbage tbh and this…

Enshittification. Happens to all companies. Not much you can do about it.

I don't really get the issue with the spying in that all of your apps, phones, websites you visit etc. are also spying on you. It's fairly…

At the moment most companies and websites are at severe risk of being hacked. There's a reason new models are being released to high value…

Yes, it's ridiculous what big companies get away with. They should be getting ridiculous fines and work paused with them. If I tried this…

I'd understand if it was $20-$50 more but for triple the price it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Makes sense. It's nice to see government thinking ahead and investing in good infrastructure. Annoying that people will only think short…
