Email to a Gmail account for a mortgage broker that has a business name? Slight red flag there.

Such a shame they're Vodafone, garbage reception near me compared to Optarse or Telscum.

Careful with these units. They thermal throttle quite hard when under load. I returned mine and got a refund because of it.

vger74656 commented on $3,000 Home Loan Refinance Rebate (Minimum $250,000 Loan Per Property) @ RAMS
Rate way too high, even after the discount. Needs to be below 6% to be competitive.

vger74656 commented on XTM Powered Battery Box with USB & Accessory Socket $39 Club Price + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store/ $150 Order) @ Supercheap Auto
Got mine from BCF a few days ago too, still $39 if you're a club member and free to join if not.

Pretty sure that means you can't BUY gift cards to put towards that $299, not use gift cards.

Ferny32 on [Zip, eBay Plus] Synology DS920+ 4 Bay Diskless NAS Unit $704.65 Delivered @ Computer Alliance eBay
