The weird and wonderful things about online trading

The Team from Community News

Hi Auckland,

What was your best purchase on an online marketplace, like Trade Me or Neighbourly?

Hi Auckland,

What was your best purchase on an online marketplace, like Trade Me or Neighbourly?

A 1950s aircraft fuselage could be yours after a Waiuku resident listed their "old warbird" on Trade Me.

The Royal New Zealand Bristol Freighter flew as part of the Royal New Zealand Air Force during the Vietnam War. It was then purchased and shipped to Whenuapai-Ardmore in 1978 and then sold on to a Waiuku local. The sellers purchased the land at a later date, and thus the plane.

The listing starts at $18,000 and at time of publishing, has been added to almost 900 users' watchlists.

Are you ready to ponder who should be Auckland's next mayor?

Todd Niall Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Kia ora Neighbours, Restaurateur Leo Molloy has given a clear sign of his mayoral campaign platform for the October 2022 vote. Less focus on climate change, more on private car use, and a downtown stadium. Does this sound like the right direction to you? Read the story below:

I got this a while back for model making but didn't know until I picked it up that the top was very warped - I need a straight flat top.
At the moment the top is unscrewed to make it easy to carry, I'll leave it unscrewed but if you want it screwed together before pickup I'll to pop screws back in. In the picture the base is upside down so you can see the screw holes for the table top, apart from the 4 holes, the top and bottom of the base look the same.
Solid wood, looks like pine.


Oh, and the splotchy whitish look on top is dust, I should really have wiped it before taking the photo!

Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

“As technology progresses and we move further into Industry 4.0, workers must be upskilled to keep pace with new systems and processes, especially older employees who are not digital natives, but who have invaluable experience in their fields,” says Competenz Sector Manager Jahn Vannisselroy

Competenz has developed a new micro-credential to meet the demands brought about by Industry 4.0.

Hi Everyone !
YOU could easily be one of those people picked out of our audience and given a reading about your future - - perhaps a change of job, address, or other circumstance. OR, given a message from a loved one who has passed.
INTERESTED ? Then why not pop along and be part of our friendly audience ? Many people who have joined us at our meetings have been given detailed evidence from departed friends or family members, sometimes names.
We are a non-profit organisation of volunteers who simply provide a public service for those who are interested. There is a different medium each time. Our next fortnightly meeting is on Wednesday the 28th of July, at 7:30pm, at the Theosophical Society Hall, 9e, Annalise Place, off Forest Glen, off Puriri Avenue, Orewa, and,

ALL ARE WELCOME !

There is an off road carpark, just look for the flashing Christmas lights. We finish around 9pm and provide free coffee, tea and chocolate biscuits afterwards. AND, for all this, we ask only $5 to cover costs ! ( we have to hire the hall )
People have received some amazing, enlightening, and very comforting readings, as well as good advice. Once you've experienced one yourself it will change your outlook in a really nice way. Forever. So why wait ?
