This XboxOne is about 3-4 years old, has been well looked after, and comes with the power cord and HDMI cable, as well as headphone/microphone (original XboxOne headset), but no controller. Buyer will need to purchase a controller elsewhere as we do not have one. See games as additional listings if interested, am happy to do a deal if anyone is interested in the whole package (totalling 6 games and console set). Otherwise, XboxOne and cables for $120 ONO.

Price: $120

Hey neighbours, are you thinking of borrowing money by taking out a loan?

Before you do - there's a few things you really need to know about. Take a minute and read the tips below to ensure you're asking the right questions and getting the best loan for you.

1. Shop around! Interest rates, fees and terms must be made available to you by the lender. Make sure you compare details and make an informed decision about what loan is best for you.

2. Choose a lender. Did you know that when you borrow money to buy something, you don’t have to borrow from the same person who is selling the goods?

3. Understand. Whoever is loaning you the money must ask questions to make sure you can afford the loan. They also need to help you understand the key terms of the loan.

4. Be prepared. You'll need to provide your lender with information to show that you can afford to repay the loan. This might include proof of income and expenses so make sure you have it ready.

Don't get on Auntie's bad side and do your research! You can find more information here.
