Thursday, August 21, 2003 memo I'm certainly bitching too much recently. But there are things I must put down here, so I will not make the same mistake in the future, so as the people who happen to read this blog. # asking about landlord's reputation before moving in. Taperecording every telephone conversation with the landlord if he not trustful. # asking for written statement for every oral deal you made, including selling your used items, piano, fixing cars, getting permission from police office... our piano store change their mind four days before we move, and only willing to pay $800 instead of promised $1000 to buy back our piano. # never tell these people you are moving far away, so they know you can not come back to sue them and take advantage of you. # Start everything earlier, we would not hadve lost money in moving quote (lose $300 because early quote expired), fixing cars, getting better AAA service (the "plus membership" from which you can have free tow for 100 miles, will not take effective until ten days) #Sell everything (we spend $1000 on movoing service just because we don't want to get rid of bed, computer chair and TV, not a good deal) #don't shop before you really settle down # posted by lmeimei @1:53 PM| permanent link| | |
