Samsonite hard-case, wheeled suitcases for sale - offers

Greg from Flagstaff

Hi neighbours, we've got a collection of three Samsonite hard-case wheeled suitcases that we no longer require. They are all well-used but need to find new homes and are far too good to throw out.

They are all well-used but need to find new homes and are far too good to throw out. We are open to offers, but please be quick before they end up on TradeMe...! Three different suitcases, all open and close and wheel along, there are a few "idiosyncrasies" with them so happy to answer any questions you might have on 021 1708822, or I can email you additional photos. Contactless viewing and pick up available from Flagstaff.
- LARGE BLACK SAMSONITE - Unfortunately it has been damaged by an airline so the handle doesn't retract - a DIY repair has been made fixing it in place. One wheel has a slight flat-spot so there is a slight noise when you wheel it on a smooth, flat surface. The main coded lock works, as do the TSA corner locks (key provided). Measures approximately 80 x 60 x 30cm. I believe that this is the Samsonite "Aeris" model, capacity around 85L.
- MEDIUM BLUE SAMSONITE - measures around 70 x 55 x 25cm. Locks and latches all work well.
- LARGE GREEN SAMSONITE 28" OYSTER - repaired, but lock and both corner latches work well (one key, one sliding lock). Measures around 80 x 60 x 25cm. Legendary suitcase.

Our homes can be our greatest investment and protecting our homes against climate change has become more important than ever.

Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.

Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property. The report includes robust and actionable information for residential property owners, tenants and investors to enhance their property’s climate resilience.

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Piper Lovell is doing it, after finding she'd have to save for another 15 years to get a home deposit together.

Join the rest of the motu on October 28 by taking part in our national earthquake drill and tsunami hīkoi, ShakeOut. Signing up only takes 2 minutes and when you do, you’ll be entered to win a personal emergency grab bag or civil defence wheelie bin kit from NZ Civil Defence.
ShakeOut takes place around the world to remind people of the right action to take during an earthquake:

DROP - down on your hands and knees. This protects you from falling but lets you move if you need to.

COVER - your head and neck (or entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk (if it is within a few steps of you). If there is no shelter nearby, cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.

HOLD - on to your shelter (or your position to protect your head and neck) until the shaking stops. If the shaking shifts your shelter around, move with it.

Head to www.shakeout.govt.nz... to sign up today and get involved!

Heroics and Heartbreak: Twelve Months with the All Blacks

Jamie Wall. Allen & Unwin, 2019. 368 pages, excellent condition

What happened to the All Blacks at the 2019 Rugby World Cup?

They were aiming for their third title in a row. A win would have capped a decade of dominance for the team and provided a fitting end to the careers of Steve Hansen and Kieran Read.

But it turned out to be a much tougher challenge, and ended in crushing failure. Heroics & Heartbreak is Jamie Wall's story of the campaign, from someone who was there every step of the way.

Price: $10
