Hi Guys,

Well last week my relationship status changed and as a result need to find a place to live...the only issue is i don't have any of the below:

bed

TV

Washing Machine/Dryer

Fridge/Freezer

Drawers/cupboards

TV stand/cabinet

basically anything else you'd need to be able to successfully live by yourself (lamps etc)

Wondering if anyone has any of this stuff for sale/giveaway...or could point me in the right direction.

Obviously there's things like garage sales/ebay that i can sus out..but yeah..any help would be appreciated.

Trading post and your local paper's classifieds would be a good place to look. Salvos / Vinnies might also have some of the stuff you are after :)

If you are after a cheap bed in a hurry, I suggest going to a camping shop and picking up a swag and a sleeping bag. This will keep you warm and relatively comfortable, as well as a handy item to have in the car after a long, hard night on the cans :banana:

At this point I’d like to point out that the TV / TV cabinet is really a luxury and probably should be considered last

I have a Foz with towbar Nick. I don't have a box trailer etc tho'

I have time after 11.30 on an occasional Sunday when church finishes to drive around and pick up/deliver stuff.

Edit* Got a sleeping bag, as Matt suggested.

I can get hold of a rear projection for you, think it's about 60ish cm, my parents said they were going to give it to my grand parents. But i'm sure they have a working TV already, maybe you will end up with their tv instead, think they had a 40cm rear projection. I'll let you know when I talk to everyone next.

Cant help you with much. But I would suggest vinnies or salvos store. (one on parramatta rd Ashfield. Just past bunnings is masive) not only do you get cheap stuff. Its helping out the charity too.

I just went through a similar situation as you early this year and thats what i did. Furnished a 1br apartment for $500ish (Sofa bed, bed frame (i had a mattress), coffee table, kitchen table/chairs, lamps, bed side table, chest of draws, washing machine).

Just remember to have a van or trailer as they wont sell big stuff too you unless you can take it right then and there.

PS. Sorry to hear about the bust up.

I have a disassembled queen bed+mattress+2 x bedside tables. It's very girly though (was my gf's old bed).

And in light of the above posts, I'm pretty sure she got it from Fantastic too.

I think we've used the slats for something else though hold on I'll go check.

When I moved into my first place, i bought a bunch of stuff from Fantastic and Ikea, it's only been a couple of years but its all still going strong today. Fantastic often has some pretty good deals as well, i got a 3 seater + 2 recliners for $1000

Didn't you only just get married? :D or am I thinking of someone else..

Really sorry to hear anyway :rant:

Yeah as said, Fantastic Furniture is good... Oz Design has some good bargains too.

Keep an eye out for an older TV as a freebie!!.... people are always them giving away cos you can't sell them now (the ones with the big backs :P)

Does your paper have one of those "free or under $50" type sections - might find a bargain in there?

Ohh and try ebay too!!

If you want a TV and can pick up on the Nth Shore you can have my shop TV. Is only a CRT 50cm I think. I've got a standard def digital tuner for it.

If you can swing the financing check into some of the 0-interest deals going on. Wife and I did that with our dining furniture and outdoor stuff. Was good so we could pay it down in our own time - had like 40 months to do it. If you can work it into your budget then gives you a way to buy nicer stuff.

Good luck with it.

I can keep a look out, i live in a complex of about 800 apartments and generally if people are getting rid of still-decent things like tv's (the big back ones), chairs, fans etc they leave them in the carpark, got myself 2 bar stools recently that were in fine condition!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
