Garage sales are great fun, reuse of goods

Bruce from Takaro

Two places to find them...
- Here in Neighbourly...
www.neighbourly.co.nz...
a dedicated subgroup where you can see any happening, or post a message free to tell 17,000 people about yours
- In Facebook marketplace, where you can filter for locality, inspect for the date of the sale.
- Recently I got a good fridge, including delivery, for $125. Also, a snazzy wetsuit that fitted me perfectly, for $3. A CD collection of about 100 cds for about $30 to use in the kitchen when bored with radio, a civil defense wind-up radio/lamp, and a four gallon water container for $5. Beach shoes, $5.
- Tomorrow there's a sale at the Bowling club on Featherston St. near Botanical. None in the Standard tonight, but usually there's a few.
- 'Good to get out and about. Combine it with a visit to the Albert Street market, encounter friends, maybe have a meal in town.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Working pool pumps

Traci from Highbury - Westbrook

Has the above ground pool had it but the pump still works? I would like to buy it from you for a reasonable price. Any size considered. Cheers
