    After buying and selling model trains for 27 years online I got myself scammed. I just got lazy and missed a few telling points. I'm out $200 but it's my own fault. Won't happen again... Carbonite is the best for dealing - better than fleabay or bobsnot by a country mile. Also waiting to see...

    What you paid for AV Items vs What you told your Wife/GF/So you paid for it ?

    I am one of the lucky ones I guess, just a pity I am so poor. My wife don't mind me buying stuff for myself, as long the budget gets paid. I am also one of those that hand over my full salary to our joint account (used to be mine alone before we got married) and she looks after me and the boys...

    Webuy cars

    It will be. @Vicky Revox gave the best advise - DO NOT buy from them. On another forum I belong to there is a surprisingly honest car dealer - he has to be otherwise the bikers will take him out. If you want I can put you in touch with him (he's in Bethlehem FS). Drop me a pm if so needed.

    I was scammed

    Mates of mine buy houses and then rent them out. Bought one in Boston and decided not to rent to students, because of potential damage or neglect. Big mistake. Guy rents it, pays deposit and 1st month’s rent and that was all they got for 18 months. This lowlife told them he would vacate if they...

    Need help buying AV items from Joburg

    Soon after my LS12 console was stolen, or rather, when I noticed it was gone, I saw one for sale on Scumtree. It was in Rosebank I think, but definitely in Gauteng. Of course I'm in Cape Town... The unit I bought is an AV 18 so not mine, but my speakers and bass module should work on it... I'm...

    Need help buying AV items from Joburg

    I seriously hope you are wrong. I have seen the item work but I need to hook it up to my speakers - which I know is working - and then I'll be able to tell. Eskom just doesn't give me enough electricity to do so. The item arrived yesterday wrapped in bin liners and cling wrap. Yes, you read...

    Need help buying AV items from Joburg

    Bankcity as in FNB? I did a few projects there in 2004 - 2007... Hmm... Yup, that's it. Remember driving in midnight to start our conversion project - not fun for a Cape Town boytjie.
