If yes to any of these questions, then please see our buyers this week. We will buy single items or complete collections.
The recent lockdown has seen many of us take the time to sort items we no longer require or simply want to turn into cash.
We are currently very short of stock and keen to buy any of these or similar items.
Buying in Christchurch / Rangiora / Ashburton / Blenheim. See us at a venue near you. Please check the dates and times carefully.

Does the Tracer app’s instruction “Done” mean you’ve logged your entry into the supermarket or that you’ve done your 30min shop & are leaving? How much detail do they expect?

Remember we also offer goldcard and DHB discounts.
Think lighting, new power plugs, spa power, heatpumps/air conditioning. Anything thats been bugging you for ages and you need an excuse to get it done now. Maybe even an early Christmas present for family by giving them the outdoor plug they have always wanted.
Help me keep Patrick out of the office and working hard!

Look forward to hearing from you

Exceed - we fix windows & doors

But leaving your home open may increase the risk of break-ins and create an easy way for intruders to gain entry into your home.
Exceed is here to help you with 10 top tips to improve your home security:
1 - Use key-operated locks on doors and windows – and don’t hide spare keys under doormats or in obvious places for burglars to find them easily
2 - Install security screens on all doors to keep your family safe
3 - Install window security stays to increase security, natural safe ventilation and prevent children falling from high windows
4 - Install hinge bolts to stop doors from being lifted out of their frames
5 - Upgrade beads and rubbers to hold any glass in place
6 - Install digital deadlocks so you no longer need to remember your keys when you leave your home and grant short term access to friends or Airbnb guests
7 - If you have an alarm system, make sure it is working properly
8 - Keep plants trimmed around doors and windows and install sensor lights or CCTV cameras
9 - Don’t leave valuable items like keys out in easy view for opportunistic thieves
10 - If you’re going away on holidays, make your home look occupied – leave the TV or radio playing, set lights to come on with a timer and ask a neighbour to collect your mail and take care of bins
Being aware of potential security risks and taking action early is the best way to keep your home and loved ones safe.

One hundred electric pedal-assist bikes will be available for hire, each coming with a helmet, a lock and lights. They will cost $1 to unlock and 38 cents per minute to use, the same price as Lime's e-scooters.
The bikes will have a range of 30 to 60 kilometres and people can hire them using the Lime or Uber apps.
Will you be trying the new e-bikes? Why or why not? Read more here and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Kaitorete is a good spot; much closer than Tekapo, and so long as you don't point the camera low in the sky in the northern quadrant you won't have Chch light pollution in the shot. :)

HOW TO AVOID… View moreThis Fraud Awareness Week we are encouraging Kiwis to take a moment to stop and think ‘is this for real?’ when contacted unexpectedly and asked for personal info.
New Zealand Police's Financial Intelligence Unit estimates New Zealanders lose $20-30 million annually to scams.
HOW TO AVOID A SCAM:
+ A genuine bank or organisation will never contact you to ask for your PIN, password or to move money to another account.
+ Never click on a link in an unexpected email or text – you could be giving access to your personal and financial details.
+ Always question uninvited approaches in case it is a scam. Instead, contact the company directly using a known email or phone number.
+ Don’t assume an email or phone call is authentic – just because someone knows your basic details (name and address, or mother’s maiden name) it doesn’t mean they are genuine.
+ Don’t be rushed into making a decision or financial transaction on the spot – a genuine bank or trusted organisation would never do this.
+ Listen to your instincts – if something feels wrong then it generally is.
If you believe you are the victim of a scam you can contact Police and report the matter via 105.

I caught up with Bailey for an episode of First Rung, our podcast for first time buyers. She ended up giving me a bit of a masterclass in tenacity and not giving up on your home owning dreams.
Find out how Bailey found her first home, and what it means to her after such a big let down.
