Whether you're hitting the street to trick or treat, or staying inside with the the candy bowl by your side - here's some Neighbourly Halloween tips to ensure that this Tuesday is a fun and safe experience for you and your neighbours!

1. Set up a Halloween Group for your street! Plan your Halloween evening with your neighbours to see what time everyone is taking the kids out. You could even co-ordinate matching costumes!

2. Download one of our SPOOKY Neighbourly Halloween posters to stick on your house or letterbox for if:
- You welcome all trick or treaters
- You want trick or treaters to stay away

3. Stay in areas of your neighbourhood that are familiar and are well lit. And although Halloween is supposed to be spooky, be careful not to frighten your elderly neighbours by popping out of the dark!

Stay safe and have fun!

Last February something new arrived in Auckland - The Gold ATM. Kiwi couple T. Jordan and his partner L. Jade embarked on the project that resulted in a machine that buys gold from the public by utilising some of the best-known technologies in the market.

The machine is smart enough to identify the type of gold by its purity with its 100% self-calibrating scale and provide an offer to you in a fair pricing manner. You have the choice - accept the offer and get paid directly to your bank account, or reject the offer and take your gold.

The process is done in 3 simple steps:
1. Introduce yourself (driver’s licence or valid ID is required).
2. Introduce your gold (place your gold on the scanner on the outside of the machine).
3. Finalise your transaction (accept the price and have the funds transferred to your account or reject the offer and take your gold away with you).

The Gold ATM system keeps records of all transactions including photos and fingerprints to provide to police to assist with any inquiries they may have.

Come and try it for yourself at one of our convenient locations.
- Botany Town Centre (by the Farmers entrance)
- Hunters Plaza Papatoetoe (food court path)

Follow us on Facebook.
