Masterton store. I also noticed afterwards that the sander is listed $201 on their web site but in store it was $269. I don't know when the…

Picked up a sander today. I had to ask for the gift card, which the lady at the check out said it was for a $500 spend so had to get her to…

Znyderman on [Ex Demo] LG 48" C2 OLED 4K Smart TV (Store Demo Grade 2) $900 + Free Shipping @ Talk is Cheap

It states it's a 1 year warranty through them, so I don't know how good their support would be. Hopefully I won't have to make use of the…

quasar on Skoda Enyaq Sportline $72,975 Drive Away after Rebate ($20,015 Effective Price Drop) @ Skoda NZ

I thought you needed rear side airbags to get the 5-star safety rating. I feel like NZ trim levels are rubbish considering what other…

Guy from Canada commented on Karcher WD3 Premium Wet & Dry Vacuum $158.99 @ Supercheap Auto ($135.14 via Pricematch at Mitre 10)
I don't think that Mitre 10 in Masterton is the greatest with price matching. I got them to prove match an item last year but they didn't…

Guy from Canada commented on ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3090 Ti AMP Extreme Holo 24GB Graphics Card $1699 + Shipping @ Computer Lounge
I just got a custom built PC from Computer Lounge a couple of weeks ago and went with the 3080Ti as it seemed like the best value at the…

nzmax on Kia EV6 Long Range RWD Electric Vehicle from $71,330 + On Road Costs ($84,980 After 5PM) @ Kia NZ

I think that's pretty old school thinking (no offense). I think the Hyundai and Kia can do good interiors and I think their build quality…

nzmax on Kia EV6 Long Range RWD Electric Vehicle from $71,330 + On Road Costs ($84,980 After 5PM) @ Kia NZ

Kia is pricing themselves as a premium brand. I am shocked that the Ev6 GT is $110k. I must be old because Kia and Hyundai were the value…

steakandcheese on Dell S2722DC 27" QHD USB-C Monitor $364.23 Delivered @ Dell

I use to do dual monitor setups but since going with a 34" ultrawide I found it to be a nicer solution. I've since upgraded to a 38"…
