my car didn't start this morning....

then i turned the key

you jelly?

[CrispyFries]

Bikes never start when you turn the key

one of mine seems to think it's a dog - can't ignore, wants constant pats and attention

My cat thinks its a dog too. She retrieves things you throw and puts them back at your feet to throw again.

R32 GT-R split in half of Tuesday's Serious Crash Unit. Nasty stuff.

Have never tried that, but I don't think he would - fetching it would eat into pat time

[emts]

i will, just gonna see if I can get in any cheaper through duty free

Don;t buy Duty free it a rip off.

(I can price one up for you next week if you like.)

what I suggest is shop around and buy one in AU eg Kogan or JB HiFI then use TRS.

For those unaware of TRS:

you buy product in AU,

if item (or combined items on one receipt) is greater than 300AU and less than 1000 (this can be combined for multiple travelers so up to 2000$)

and you are taking the item with you

you go to the counter after passport control

shop invoice, item and give Credit card, they then refund the GST.

so you get best price less GST

DUty free in AU is rip off, and very small in Fiji

short of going to HK this is the cheapest way to get one

my cat is currently sitting on my feet. being a cat.

ehh.

if you can check when you go it'll be good, i can get the 16gb through work for 350$ which seems to be about $20 off lol. but thats probably as far as i get with Apple setting prices. Kogan was about the same..

might just get one locally then

[dezz]

hmm, I think I've had postage refunded - but yeah, they usually make you pay return postage

If they refunded me the total purchase price including postage, I'd happily pay the return postage as it'd be regular post and cost SFA...I paid a massive premium for express

Yeah a PayPal dispute usually gets you a full refund. You and a seller both get a chance to plead your case and then PayPal make their decision based on the evidence. It could go either way but generally they'll side with the buyer

Interesting.

[dezz]

I'm hoping the threat of negative feedback will help...Even if they covered half the postage cost I've already paid I'd probably be happy

[Sunkist]

what did you buy out of curiosity?

[Sunkist]

I can only imagine that's what you looked like when you were small
