LOL Sue[
]I think it’s because Arty and Pinky are hidden in their moving boxes – probably packed themselves by mistake!
Poltergeist is around, but I’m not sure where Muppet has gone – maybe to propertytalk.co.nz? Or maybe he’s upset with us Aussies cos we didn’t beat England and keep Bill in the Southern Hemisphere?
Cheers
MelHey Westan, now look what you’ve done. You’ve gone and caused LuckyPhil to use an emoticon!! In over 200 odd posts he held strong, and I was thinking of getting one of the moderators or Poltergeist to edit his post to put one there, but he’s gone and went and done it of his own accord[
]I noticed when I had posted, and gone back into that thread, that I could Edit, Delete, and a couple of other options. Then when I accidentally double clicked on Post New Reply, it posted twice, and I didn’t want to have a double or triple post, so I tried Delete, and it did, and it didn’t alter my numbers. I wondered if I had cottoned onto Poltergeist’s secret[
].I do like my shiny gold stars. They’re so pretty.[
]Now that we’ve (or more correctly, LuckyPhil) go this post going, it’s your turn:
‘i know you are a regular contributor but we haven’t really met, whats your interest in property? where do you own, are you a buyer /seller/holder, whats your investment strategy ?’
I’m gathering that you had lots, have sold a few, still have some, and are buying in NZ currently? I’m sure I read that you’ll be living in Bondi next year, but I also see that you’re living in (South Island?) of NZ in Jan 04? I’m gathering that I’m confused, but hoping you will clear it up. And who knows, we could aim for 1000 reads of this topic.
Maybe we should start a new one:
Searching for Alibrandi, and see how much interest we get until she appears. Although Shaun did appear, and we didn’t stop…..[]Cheers
MelThanks for admitting that Westan, I went away and stewed, and was being all upset, and about to come back and say OUCH!![
]And say that I was just trying to have some fun, and that if I really cared about how many posts I had I would have way more than Arty and Poltergeist, cos I’ve worked out that even if you delete your post, it still counts towards the number you have, and so I could have done that and …..
But it’s ok now, I don’t have to say all that, cos you were just joking, and I’m not behaving like a little kid. I’m not I tell you (stamping foot).
Cheers
MelHow do you “wrap” a lolly ?
Um, I don’t know. If you buy a Mintie you are buying a ‘wrapped’ lolly? My lollies are Skittles, MM’s, MM Peanuts, Jaffas, Jelly Beans, StrongMints, Kool Fuits, Mini Fruits.
Do you resist eating the profits ?
No, but it’s amazing how when you go to the shop and buy a bag of M&M’s, you eat the whole bag (I used to eat 500g bags, but it did take a couple of hours, and yes I did feel quite ill afterwards[
]), but now, when I have a 10kg box, I can eat a couple and I’m done. Or when filling the machine you ‘have’ [] to test that the lollies come out alright, and sometimes you might not really have clean hands (well you do, but it’s a good excuse) and so you can’t put those test ones back, so you have to eat them.What if interest rates go up ? LOL
No debt in this business. But just make you pay 40c, or $1, and don’t quite give double or 5 times what you would have got for 20c. Then over time, can reduce more, increase profits. Jelly Beans are by far the best earner. 9kg for $28. M&Ms, 10kg for $70. Sell for same price in machine!!
Talk about positive cash flow !
Yes, and lots and lots and lots and lots of HEAVY 20c pieces. Lucky I have always loved counting money. We have to check evey coin, cos my Dad collects them, so we need to keep all Bradmans, and collect the various coins that have State pictures/emblems on them. That’s a pain, but I’ve got used to it.
Will the banks lend against them ?
I have not tried offering them as security, so don’t know. Will add them to my asset column though when the trust looks for finance for properties.
When are you going to write a book .. don’t tell me, you already have right ? .. on the shelves next week no doubt ?
I’m just going to print out all my posts on this website, and call it ‘PropertyInvesting.Com’ by Ms Melbear
There will be a chapter called ‘Specifically Property’, ‘General Investing’, ‘Vendor Finance/Wrap’ – this will be a short one as I read but don’t post much there, etc.
For my friend Jaffasoft, I will also create a chapter called ‘Mr Melbear harassment of poor little Jaffasoft’ – this will also be a very short chapter, but my co contributors will cause people to laugh as I did[
