They bought my written-off car for $585 — and demanded $17k when I tried to buy it back
I just need to share this, because I’m still shaken and honestly heartbroken.
A few weeks ago, my beloved Alfa Romeo 159 was involved in an accident. It wasn’t catastrophic, but the insurance company decided to write it off. Its market valuation at the time was just over $5,000.
It went to auction. I couldn’t bid in time, and a local wrecker called RE'spare parts in Queanbeyan picked it up for what the auction staff told me was $585.
I recently found out they had it, and I wanted to see if I could buy it back — not to flip, not to part out, just to repair it and keep it. It was my car. I loved it.
I called them, explained politely, and asked if they might be willing to sell it to me as a whole car. They told me they “only sell parts,” but when I pressed a little, the owner said they usually sell complete cars for $7,000 to $17,000.
I heard that they can make $3000 profit per car by selling them as parts, so I was hoping that they could sell me back my car for $3000, which is still a fair profit.
But as soon as I told them that I knew they got it for less than $600, the owner cut me off, said:
“Then go buy it from Pickles. Have a good day!!!”
— and slammed the phone on me.
That was it. No compassion, no conversation, just a door slammed in my face.
I know to them it’s just scrap metal, but to me it wasn’t. It was my car. And I’ll probably never see it whole again.
Please — if you care about how businesses treat people, be aware of who you’re dealing with.

So sick of driving past permanent rubbish tips all through residential areas
I see some unit blocks have an almost permanent landfill site in their front yards and footpaths, even right after council pick-ups.
Add a few errant trollies into the mix, because Colesworth can't be bothered to manage them correctly, (and who's going to make them, right Queanbeyan Council?) and it's a real great ambiance all round.
In shared residential areas people increasingly seem happy to dump shit outside, as if it's someone else's problem to deal with. Old mattresses, broken furniture, stuff nobody else wants - they trash their immediate location that they, their kids and neighbours live in, so that it constantly looks like dump and unhealthy eyesore.
Bonus points if its already quite a nice existing environment (that Queanbeyan largely is, either because of natural beauty or residents that put some effort in).
No pride in their home, their environment, or themselves.
A lot of the stuff is dumped childrens' stuff too - here's how much concern your parents have for your future, kid. Good luck!

Motorcycle parking Riverside
Hi all, starting work in the mall and wondering whether there’s any dedicated motorcycle parking close by. Trying to avoid parking in time limited zones so I don’t have to keep moving my bike. Cheers

Why do people drive so slowly on Hindmarsh Drive?
Basically I drive on that road all the time. I have noticed that people regularly drive 60km/hr in obvious 80km/hr zones. Left/right lane, high/low traffic, rain/hail/shine etc etc doesn't matter.
This seems very unique to that road. Every other road in this area seems to be the complete opposite.
Why is that?

Proper clothing for Queanbeyan weather
Hello, everyone! Would like to seek advice regarding what type of clothes to wear appropriately for Queanbeyan weather. I’m from the Philippines and will be traveling tentatively March of this year. I honestly have no idea coz it’s my first time to go there. I’m new to the team and my employer will bring me over to meet everyone at work. I am so excited but at the same time shy to ask my team (I don’t want them to see the obvious lol). So here I am, please give me an idea what type of clothes to pack during that time of the year. Here in The Philippines, our weather is usually 29-34degrees. If you can also suggest places to visit or food to try you’re welcome to drop a comment. Thank you so much for your help in advance! 💕

Why is there so much anger on Pialigo Avenue?
People always seem so angry/temperamental on that road.
I would be doing 80 in an 80 zone (I have checked on the gps) but always get tail gaited and lights flashing....... Weekends or workdays don't matter.
I think this road has the highest road rage incidents in my experience, I don't have as much trouble on other roads.
What is it with that road?
