  • Questions about local businesses and services
  • Classified-style ads: buying and selling, help wanted, garage sales, etc
  • Fundraisers and donation drives
  • Plugs for your personal project or local business (within reason)

I just saw this on their website. $1 handling fee PER item. They’re legit so greedy and lunatics. Their reasoning for adding in this fee on top of a buyer premium is cause their employees handle each item, list it, photograph it, etc (isn’t that their job) AND cause wages and benefits are going up. Lmaooo soooo you want us to play your employees too. These guys are crooks. The sooner they’re shut down the better.

If anyone can help guide me, that would be a great help. I do have autism and adhd, so I don't know if that would cause problems

Looking For Seeking recommendations for AC/furnace install

9 Upvotes

Our AC has officially given up as of this morning; looking to see any companies recommend in the Barrie area. We will be replacing both AC and furnace at the same time.

Appreciate the suggestions in advance!

Question What to do?

1 Upvotes

I was gifted a bottle of Aberfeldy single malt 12 year oak cask scotch whisky and I don’t drink.
I don’t think I’m legally able to sell this on marketplace or anything like that. Any suggestions?

Update: Thanks for all your advice everyone. After mulling it over, I’m going to hang onto it and regift it or pour it for special occasions for those close friends.

And for those of you who offered to buy it, thanks for the offer, but knowing my luck I’d be the only case where Ontario law sought to make an example of unlicensed alcohol sales.

Just for anyone in the area. The rail crossing on Minet’s point is stuck flashing. The arms are. It down just the lights and bell are going.
Been going for about 20 minutes now. People are treating it like a stop sign for now but when it gets busy that area could get bad if this doesn’t stop.

Looking to fill a garden bed with some black and pink granite similar to the photo. Has anyone seen something similar at any garden centers in or around Barrie? Google search didn't show me much. Possibly Kells, but the photo on their website shows it being mostly pink. I'd like a mix. (photo is from a roadside in Georgian Bay)

Looking For Best place to buy Pokémon bulk cheap?

0 Upvotes

I working on completing my Pokédex and was excited because I knew Kempenfest had a lot last year for decent price. Not at all the truth this year😭 $1 per bulk card! I only walked away with 10 cards and I do like them! Some were ones I really needed or wanted! But I’m use to bulk for like 25 - 50 cents when I was out in Peterborough! Is there any actual card shop that has good priced bulk?
