      Mate it's giving me the shits too. I don't want to be the sucker buying at the top of the bubble, so get stuck playing pass-the-parcel in the rent game paying off some other chump's loan, whilst he's negative gearing it on the way through… Can't win in the current market.

      Prices near my parents have DOUBLED in less than 10 years. DOUBLED. AND CPI is less than 3%! WHACKY!

        @Snowy I'm in Melbourne, which is about 70% as mad as Sydney. Whilst I like it up there, the rents terrify me.

        I don't know what the right answer is. Only whatever I chose is the wrong one, and I'm an official Doom and Gloomer! :o

          I want to complain about the IH Autumn / Winter 2015 collection. @Giles is going to bankrupt far too many people who have better more important other stuff to spend their life savings on!

              asics sneaker quality is way far off new balance…

                  I don't understand people that will not ship stuff "Internationally". If the buyer is willing to pay the full amount for shipping, what's the drama? It's a big world out there with countries/continents that exist just like yours…

                    For me it's the increased risk of a lost package and the increased difficulty of finding it.

                        I too have been wondering this.

                          well what i mean that nb's quality was way better than asics. i actually meant far off as the other way. even the made in china new balance is better. just got the medic pack from asics x highs and lows and spent some moment with it. found the way it was put together and the feel of the quality wasnt there.

                            Yep I don't get it either. Have to use a proxy which just adds time and cost.

                                      I've had bad experiences shipping knives overseas when I've sold them. Even though I make it clear that buyer assumes all responsibility if it gets lost/customs charges, I've had to deal with the online drama of the package being lost and it being my fault (it was not). I've also been hit with hundreds of dollars in customs charges because the buyer stiffed me on them. Now, I unilaterally do no ship knives overseas unless you're someone I know well.

                                      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                        Trickhell, couldn't agree more, but I'm sure you know the general population there is like 16-24 year olds that worship N&F. That being said, it is a complete hivemind where even an objective or appropriate criticism is met with immediate negative response. It's just arbitrary internet politeness… although I do post there sometimes...

                                          Agree with you guys, that place is very weird.
                                          The Gustin / N&F / Lawless / Kickstarter circlejerk is way too strong.
                                          Hence why I don't even bother posting over there. I mainly check it out if I need a laugh.

                                            Also I absolutely hate the hashtag they came up with: #rawfie (like raw denim selfie)
                                            Makes me cringe just thinking about it…
