The rip off thread

[Quivorir]

I only need a black and white printer at home. It is cheaper for me to buy a new printer than it is for me to buy new ink.

Odd ain't it ?
We've done that a few times

A credible option is to go commando. I haven't worn jocks since 1994!

I'm fine with that, but did you have to decide against pants as well, in 2001?

Have houses been mentioned yet? Seriously, the materials in a million dollar mansion would be worth a few thousand dollars.

Uni textbooks. Rip rip rip

Questionable partnerships make it near impossible to go without buying a couple of brand new books a semester.

I just paid $140 for a 50 page textbook.

Yes. Yes I did. A slab was riding on it at the time, but they've stayed off ever since. A real man likes to feel the elements at work against his balls...

Went to the new Currambine Tavern on Sat night. $29.95 for a chicken parma, $27 for a lamb shank and $36 for ribs! Ordered a crumbed steak 'special' for $22 and what I got was a crumbed '$2 minute steak' from Coles the size of my palm that had obviously been cooked the day before and reheated. On the side I had a salad that had warm, limp lettuce and no dressing in the salad or on the side.

Like it

Shit overpriced restaurants - NAME AND SHAME.

Ink cartridges.

Get the printer for $80.

One print cartridge costs $29.

How does this happen?

Is it a deliberate scam?

Lol, of course it's a scam. The companies heavily discount the cost of the printer so you're locked in to purchasing their cartridges. They make the money off the cartridges.

Pay $20 a pack for something that will make you die a slow painful death most likely

Nah. You have to pay a compulsory $280 Student Services and Amenities Fee which goes to the guild if you are a full time student. Then you pay your $50 if you want any of the benefits of being a guild member.

Is Apollo Bay code for Margaret River?

I think most of it is insurance anyway - TAC injury insurance in the event you're seriously injured on the road.

Yup but going with what everyone else is saying about prices in WA.
Prices in Margaret River..............> Apollo bay.
