SydStrand commented on Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy
OP waited 5 years to post this.
Sonos is great if you can afford it, like the aesthetic, and prepared to go all-in. My living room is Arc/Sub/2x Ones, with a couple of Era…
No. They released second and third round offers for people if someone else declined to proceed with their order, but it was always for…
SydStrand replied to Maz78 on LEGO 10316 The Lord Of The Rings: Rivendell $829 Delivered @ Tates Toys via Everyday Market
Aaahhh, yes, the old Lego 'markup' like paying for design, licensing the IP, and non-slave labour.
SydStrand commented on Forced Seat Changes on Airline
Recently had a similar situation where I booked an aisle seat and a stranger was at the window. We thought we dodged a middle passenger…
SydStrand commented on What Happens to Amazon Returns?
They get on-sold by the pallet, usually to third parties who use them to stock refurb stores, and occasionally to random people. There's an…
SydStrand replied to linkindan on [Windows] Free: WinX DVD Copy Pro V3.9.8 Lifetime Licence (Was US$67.95) @ WinX DVD, China
Last country video store I ever went into was a desperate retail hellhole that stocked only three things: DVDs, durries, and Funko Pops.

Cool, can go with my free copy of WinRAR

You were driving too close, or would have had enough stopping distance. Yes, he slammed on his brakes, but people do this for reasons…
> the complaint is not without merit at all. It's an obvious and direct by-product of the "limited edition" policy: to ignite interest in a…
I get that you don't like this, but this is a complaint without merit. Sony made limited numbers of an anniversary product. No different…
Well, you can resort to eBay scalpers, but the retailer pre-orders are well and truly over. Sony never re-released the retro colourway…

Everyday =/= [every day](https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/everyday-vs-every-day-difference-usage)
SydStrand replied to BrotherEstapol on Ozito PXC 18V Seed & Fertiliser Spreader - Skin Only $39.79 + Delivery ($0 in Store/ C&C/ OnePass/ $99 Tools Order) @ Bunnings
I own a fair amount of dubious Ozito gear, but this takes the cake. There are similar [manual seed…
SydStrand replied to lazybones1987 on Ozito PXC 36V 2x 18V 335mm Lawn Mower 3.0Ah Kit PXLMK-3182 $247 Delivered/ C&C/ in-Store @ Bunnings
I've done it before. It had to be put through as a refund, then purchase in same transaction, but they were happy enough to do it.
SydStrand commented on Quality Pots and Pan Set
> I see at the shopping centre huge price reduced kits but I’m not sure if they are good quality? You're probably talking about House,…
$150 for 5 piece set is suspiciously cheap. Even a single pan from a 'chefy' brand like All-Clad is more than that. If you're looking for…
Just read up thickness of the [hardwood layer](https://floor-sanding.com.au/blog/how-many-times-can-engineered-wood-be-sanded/) when you…
SydStrand commented on Hybrid Wood Floor - A Good Choice?
I had hybrid in an old rental and didn't like it. Some people swear they can't tell the difference from wood, but I absolutely could. It…
It's fine, but not exactly mind-blowing, and I'd struggle to pick this out from a blind taste test. Taste-wise, it's definitely not worth…
SydStrand replied to Widget on LEGO Icons Lion Knights' Castle 10305 $579.61 (RRP $599) Delivered @ Amazon JP via AU
$179.61? 4.5k pieces? Pure delulu. This set is significantly larger than prior castles. There is a more reasonably-priced 3 in 1 Castle…
Bruh.
SydStrand replied to Protractor on What's Your Strategy to Snag a Ps5 Pro 30 Year Anniversary Edition?
> LOL. Leave it there? and then you start beating your pigeon chest like a pseudo chalk monitor, come silver back? Banned? Your turn,…
It's anecdotal, but anyone who's been over the years has invariably overheard more Aussie accents over the last 5 years. It officially…
All of his threads are [crazy 'reverse racism' bingo cards.](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/123856/nodes)
While Japan's always had bad tourists, it's so, so much worse post-covid, and unfortunately, Aussies are over-represented. The devaluation…
SydStrand replied to Protractor on What's Your Strategy to Snag a Ps5 Pro 30 Year Anniversary Edition?
This isn't a cost of living or crypto debate; stop shifting goalposts, and stick to your losing argument. You claimed, with confidence but…
SydStrand replied to Protractor on What's Your Strategy to Snag a Ps5 Pro 30 Year Anniversary Edition?
You don't know what you're talking about. They already did this for the 20th anniversary and sold the same number (12,300) of limited…
