    Having difficulty selling your bike?

    The buyers in GTA are a unique bunch. A 2010 Ninja 250 at 22,000km was priced as a trade in at $2,900. Posted on Kijiji for $3,250, attracted all kinds of lowball offers. Repost sale price at $4,200 and attracted serious buyers, and ended up selling it for $3,800. Price at reasonable amount...

    Travel insurance

    Pretty sure TD offers annual plan for Travel Medical. My in-laws bought from RBC because they have these offices you can go and speak to an insurance advisor in person. However, their annual plan only allows for trips that do not exceed 14 days, so you may want to read the fine prints. May...

    Recommendations for a fence installer?

    My neighbours and us (total 5 houses) are looking for someone to put up backyard fences for us. Looking for someone that's reputable. One of the neighbours quoted with a company called GCU, but the feedback online is absolutely horrendous. They are cheap though.... $30 per linear foot, so I...

    Toronto to Halifax and Cabot Trail

    Look for a place to stay at base of Cabot Trail. Last time I stayed at the Iona Heights Inn, renovated & clean. Get a nice shower & sleep and tackle the Trail fresh the following morning! Not sure the state of Meat Cove. Great view, but last time I went nobody was there.... Go...

    East Coast and Newfoundland in June 3 weeks

    MacDoc, if you are looking for a great place to stay near the Cabot Trail, check out Iona Heights Inn. It's a nice renovated place to get showered and good rest in that area at affordable price.

    Housing Market

    Just wanted to point out it's more than 2.5% return because you have to include principle recapture into the net. That being said, I agree with you that condos are looking less and less attractive as an investment. And if one still want to do this, there's better be an exit strategy as to...

    Looking for hardwood flooring

    Agreed with 12.8mm+ AC4 rating or more. I also check if it's made in Germany, USA or France (all can be found in home depot or equivalent). I'd avoid "made in China". Also, avoid using the $10/roll underlayment. get the mid-level price with the noise reduction. all the hardwood places I am...

    Housing Market

    This is good advice on how to maintain leverage if a bidding war is inevitable. Adjust closing date to your advantage if you are going to be paying a premium :) For example: home is listed at $500K Agent advised it is priced for bidding, goes to $600k on average in neighbourhood people who...

    Housing Market

    So was the property priced for bidding? or it was priced at market value and people went nuts over it? Two very different mentalities and scenarios. I was speaking to the latter... still stand by my comment. Not an advice, but my opinion. Glad you "won" ... and hopefully you didn't overpay...

    Housing Market

    OP, here are a few things I've learned from my experience. Just my humble opinion. New homes: - I hear Mattamy, GreenPark and Empire are pretty good. - Even it's a new build, I'd still recommend a home inspection to produce a report to be submitted to Tarion If you are buying an existing...

    Glad to hear you are okay. Please keep taps on your body in the next few days.... the aftermath usually comes days after and you may feel like you got beaten up all over. Hope you had witnesses and their contact info. Emergency responses are super quick on the Gardiner, especially when they...

    would they allow eBikes? because that would solve the insurance issue.

    Toronto anti-Uber protest - These TO taxi drivers are #@$%!!!!

    Just would like to say there were unlicensed car services with soccer moms in nice clean vehicles long before Uber, advertised through referrals. Uber is just the convenient technology enabler.

    Toronto anti-Uber protest - These TO taxi drivers are #@$%!!!!

    Untrue. You mean the priviledged few decides for the city on what is fair. Uber pricing is probably the closest to what the city thinks is fair, and it's based on supply & demand.
