I'm hoping for some good financing plans for a new phone.
So far the ones they are promoting are lease only with an expensive monthly plan.

Weight of a 65" doing that on 1 stud :heckno:


The refurb iPhone 16 max was a good one through Fido if you were targeted to get that deal.



I haven't done the subsidized thing either for about that long too.... But my last 2 phones were preorder when they were first announced... And going into a contract with the provider to get the same phone wasn't an option. Every year or two, I'd also be changing phone plans too all within Fido because they offered better deals than my current plan during BF.

I recently bought a refurb desktop from these guys, and they are a known, reputable retailer for refurb computers:

A quick browse shows they have old refurb laptops in the $350 - $500 range, with usable specs like 8th to 11th gen iCore CPUs wtih 16GB RAM and 500-ish GB SSD, Win11 included.

If you don't mind used skates, Cyclone Taylor has used skates for sale, and they know how to fit your kids properly:

A friend had been buying used figure skates from them as their daughter grow. I don't remember whether their fitting include moulding the skates for you or not, but at least it was something they have mentioned.

The wall clock has never worked, you put a battery in and set the time and it stops 10 minutes later... like gears stripped internally tried many different batteries. The desk clock is put together crooked.

Zero chance of warranty either, not worth shipping them both back.
