Buy stuff for cheap.

  • Navman S100

    Last week I bought myself a sexy new Navman S100. It's the cheapest model in the Navman S series, but since I've installed the wonderful (and free) MioPocket software, that hardly matters! I can watch videos on it, listen to MP3s, and even import Google satellite maps into it. Navman ...

  • GoPro Hero HD – tough little HD camera

    If you like to have adventures, big or small, then you probably like to remember them - which means you need to take a serious look at the GoPro Hero HD camera. The GoPro Hero HD is shock proof, comes with a waterproof case, and most importantly has an incredible ...

  • Luke Nguyen DVD

    Although he was born in Thailand, Luke Nguyen grew up in Australia, and is great food ambassador for both Australia and Vietnam (his parents are Vietnamese). Luke Nguyen has written food books and is the host of Luke Nguyen's Vietnam, a food documentary in which he travels through Vietnam, cooking ...

  • 4×4 off road camper trailers

    4x4 off road camper trailers are the perfect compromise between the luxury of a caravan, and the simplicity of a tent. They can go places that traditional caravans can only dream of going, and although they're simpler, they can offer almost all of the comfort of a caravan.

  • DeLonghi Citiz Nespresso – I’ve been converted

    Some friends of mine recently purchased a DeLonghi Citiz Nespresso machine to use in their holiday house. And although I was incredibly sceptical of Nespresso machines, I was chosen as a test subject to try out a few of the 'free' pods that came with the machine. The first coffee ...

  • Weber Baby Q BBQ – cute BBQ for a good price!

    The Weber Baby Q looks much like the innovative Weber Q, it has the same unique futuristic design, and it packs the same grilling wallop underneath its durable cast aluminum lid. The Weber Baby Q grill is vastly different than most portable grills - most ordinary portable grills are griddles ...

  • Kambrook Heat Cube ceramic heater

    Even though we have reverse cycle heating in the main part of our house, my home office is always the last room to get warm - and since I spend most of the day in there (and late nights) I decided to get a ceramic heater. I chose the Kambrook ...

  • Forever stovetop espresso machines

    Both my parents are bordering on being coffee snobs. My mum has a vintage commercial Rancilio, and my dad has a collection of domestic Gaggia's. I however, care more about what's in the cup, than how it got there.I generally use one of my several stovetops for my morning brew. ...

  • Homemade night vision scope

    I've just made my own ghetto night vision scope. It's not exactly pretty, but it works, and it cost me under $30. I've got a cheap infrared flashlight that I've attached to my scope, and a $10 infrared webcam looking down the scope. I can then monitor it all on ...

  • Pest Xit ultrasonic rodent repeller

    I've had rats, or mice (or both) in my ceiling all summer. I got so sick of it that I went and bought a Pest Xit Duo. I've had it for 2 weeks, and it's finally starting to have an effect. A few nights ago I heard the rats going ...

Nikko Stirling air rifle scopes

Posted by Price Magician 1 Comment

I just bought a Nikko Stirling Air King 2-7x32 scope. It's fantastic, and unlike many other scopes, this one is built to withstand the recoil of a modern air rifle. There's something about air rifles and Nikko Stirling scopes that 'just works'. I like 'em.

I am not a paper cup

Posted by Price Magician 0 Comment

I've always really like the size and form of disposable coffee cups, but now there's something even better! A sexy ceramic cup, that looks just like a paper cup, fits under just about every espresso machine - but without all the waste associated with disposable cups! YAY!

Mercedes Benz G550

Posted by Price Magician 0 Comment

If I ever buy a 4WD, it's going to be a military issue Mercedes G550. I had an RC Unimog when I was a kid, and ever since then I've wanted a 1:1 scale Mercedes Benz 4x4.

I hated the first season of Top Gear Australia. It was embarrassing and degrading. And now it's coming back for season two.

Henderson Kids DVD

Posted by Price Magician 0 Comment

I know it's a totally stupid thing to do, but I'm going to buy the Henderson Kids DVDs. They're not going to be available for ever, and it's a piece of Australian TV history that I want to own.

Underbelly DVD

Posted by Price Magician 0 Comment

Purely by chance, I've managed to catch the last few episode of Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities, and I'm really surprised at how much I've enjoyed it. I'd heard that Matthew Newton was in it, and I thought he'd be terrible - but he's actually very good at playing ...

Internal TV antenna

Posted by Price Magician 1 Comment

I live in an area with a very weak TV signal - and instead of getting the antenna man to come and install an expensive new antenna on the house, I decided to try a few internal TV antennas instead. The first one I got was terrible, it was unpowered, ...
