Captain 3 Droids Posted April 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Sometimes there are bargains to be had. From Gumtree, local area, I purchased 15 of the wine glasses and 7 of the beer mugs (400ml) for $15. It was the advertised price and didn’t lower myself by asking for a cheaper price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still would've offered $10. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 @Captain 3 Droids I sell quite a lot of things on Gumtree and am of the opinion that everything eventually sells as long as it's priced correctly. So whenever I price something I expect the final price to be lower than advertised. If you want $200 then start at $250 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I could collect at 7am she left them at the front door and asked me to put the money under the door mat.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For something small like this I'd definitely offer the asking price too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumtree and Facebook marketplace are a great way get things on the cheap. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Brewing Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 As you get further north, the Yeti brand becomes more and more of a cult... I splurged on one of these big insulated mug thingies because it's handy having a near indestructible 700ml container. It does a nice job as a beer mug for picnics/barbecues/outdoor parties/arvo balcony beers. Good to be able to bring something you can pour a whole homebrew bottle in without worrying it'll break. It also comes with a sealed lid that can only be described as an adult sippy cup. I sampled an English Pub Draft out of it tonight to give it a run, sipping it outside over the course of about 30+ mins. Very comfortable to drink beer out of without the lid, and the insulation kept it cold even lidless as you get a layer of cool air forming on top once you drink a bit. I tried with the sippy lid for a bit just to see, and I don't particularly enjoy it for beer but it'd be useful for if I'm concerned about spills or drinking water, and I'm sure it would prolong the coldness. As it was, it was still what I'd call "fridge cold" until the last couple of sips that were still chilly but a little warmer. Generally inside I'd probably go a headmaster or the big fancy Saison glass because of their own benefits, but outside this has got to be a winner. I'd like to try it with a big Germanic lager, or maybe even a Kremlin to encourage me to sip it more slowly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great find, looks like that dubious TV comentator is SUPER jealous of your loot! LOL 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Gyldenvand Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Okay, I guess it's about time I contribute to this topic. Please keep in mind, I just pulled these all together for the photo. Some have been displayed in our "sitting room" (read that: drinking room) for a while and may not be sparkling clean. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horn, by the way, is one of two we received as a gift. We primarily use them as decorations, but we did drink mead out of them once. It just seemed right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
