    I worked with a guy once who rang about 20 shops to ask for their prices for a particular mobile phone. He shopped around and saved about $100.

    He later went out into business and paid the advertised price for a juice shop. He didn't even try to bargain them down. (later sold it at a massive loss).

    It’s strange how people act like that sometimes. I had a client trying who took an entire month to decide on a colour scheme for their website but only spent a day coming up with what they wanted to actually put into it. I guess it’s easy to lose perspective sometimes.

    Hi Darren
    Do you think you can hold off buying in the area for a while? I’ve got a few meteorologist friends and they’re warning all and sundry not to get hopes up too high that this will be a one off event. It’s very early in the wet/storm season for Queensland, and with little room for more water anywhere and with cyclones still a chance for the SE coast as a result of La Nina it would only take something minor to ignite all these problems again.
    Not that I want to panic anyone, it probably won’t get any worse but it’s worth being prepared just in case :)
